Garnok 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 This is a list of things our children will probably never know about or not believe us when we tell them about it. This is definitely one of the better ones, "Blowing the dust out of a NES cartridge in the hopes that it’ll load this time" http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/07/100-t...ver-know-about/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killerpriest 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 that was awesome !! big ones for me: Of course...the blowing out and jiggling the NES cartridges. best example.. renting a NES cartridge and the only way it works is by physically holding it to one side in the NES while your friend plays it. then you take turns. then you realize you should just jam a balled up tissue in the NES to push it to the side. Screens being just green (or orange) on black. The scream of a modem connecting. MiniDisc. (i actually adopted these early and very expensively, only to watch it die) and the walkmans.... i just found literally 6 of my old tape walkmans. i picked each one up and stared at it for about 2-3 minutes. then i put it back down. i rly should throw them away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
