Maybe tomorrow I’ll want to settle down, until tomorrow I’ll just keep moving on.
Crash Bandicoot was my first game.
Did you know that it released closer to the moon landing than to today?
Biggest crush on Winona Ryder starting in high school, when Heathers came out.
Before that, Peter Weller inspired me as hard rocking neurologist, Buckaroo Banzai.
First programming was in Pascal on a Hydra machine (reel to reel computer stack serving 30 stations).
I once took a Toledo Salamunca sword and cut off my own head.
When I was 7 I could look up at the night sky and there were no satellites.
Retro is anything on a cartridge or tape. Disc based media is too new and space age to be retro.
I'm old enough to have accidentally beaten the original Final Fantasy in hard mode.
My childhood pics are Polaroids.
I was born a few weeks after the beginning of the TET offensive.
I was born in the year Princess Elizabeth became Queen. Also, Evita died that year.
🎵 This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. Good guys bad guys and explosions, as far as the eye can see. 🎵
That poll was revealing, was not expecting average of 30-40 :0 Good idea though!
My first computer was the zx spectrum with 256k RAM
I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
I got a 2400 baud modem and thought it was so cool that I didn’t need to use an acoustic coupler
Old enough to watch the moon landing, but too young to remember it.
I was still a kid when my dad brought home a brand new Apple II. Before that computer appeared in his home office (and in my live, as I used that Apple so much more than he ever did ;)), I learned to type on my granddad's typewriter.
The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.
AIM away messages and the passive flex of who has the best 'buddyprofile' that may or may not link to a livejournal or xanga page
I'm barely able to remember watching Star Wars in the summertime in the theatre.
I watched cartoons on Saturday morning and Davey & Goliath on Sunday.
