board games o_O

Way before Pong, cavemen played primitive videogames made from cardboard and dice. - collegehumor.com headline for a video

I think that is hilarious. :)

I miss playing board games. The problem is that having small children around sort of limits your choices on games you can play. They are going to want to join in and most of the time they just can't handle the complexity. Once they get older it will be awesome but that's quite a way off.

Ever notice how I type smiley emoticons a lot. I tend to use them almost like punctuation. This is a side effect of having unlimited internet access at a young age. When most people I knew barely understood what the internet was I was cruising around on it with my 2400baud and then 14.4kbps modem.

It didn't have the vast quantities of quality information it has on it now. It wasn't as graphically intense either and common personal computer speeds were more around the 33mhz(low end) to 100mhz (top end). It did have a lot of porn back then even. >.> or so I heard. Good old interwebs.
