Did you know the site has over 4,000 video game themed lolz?
Fuuuuu I feel old again
Also, DirectX 5.0…
You have Windows Vista and still haven't signed up for The Internet? Get with the times.
Is it sad that I know the difference between regular and spawn..? Also that I have a copy of DirectX 5.0 stashed away in an IT folder along with each major release after..? If not that, then that I played the game enough to memorize each quest, analyze the randomization engine, and even remember exactly what it's like to hear Griswald say "SKINNY LITTLE SKELETONS" even though it's been years..? I need help…
Back then they had no idea what would happen with the internet. If only they knew….
Suddenly… MEMES !
The Internet?
Already got that covered

Back then: Oh boy! I can't wait to go on this "The Internet" and meet many wonderful fellows that will be gentle and open to many different strategic planning on everyone's end and be happy with everyone as a whole collective!
Today: Oh man, I can't wait to be a useless piece of shit and play online videogames all day.
OH SHIT, I'M MEETING ALL THESE PEOPLE HARASSING ME.
…my mom is a what? Is that even an insult?
Goddamn, I feel so old, and I'm not even 25!
Hey, that looks like Mirrodin from Magic the Gathering!
……….I am a fucking nerd.
Oh? That's old? Heh.
*plays Civilization on his DOS*
1996, a time when games were hard. What's that, regenerating shields? No you get a bar. And you better PRAY that bar doesn't go empty. What's that? Only 1 health point was lost? Well, too bad, you touched the medpac.
And no, you don't get an infinite supply of hats.
Dem graphics.
Sign up for the internet? Nah, that's silly. It's only a fad! I'm going to get started on the next thing:
Chewing on skunks!
I don't think any of us really knew what we were getting ourselves into when we signed-up for The Internet.
Well, since we are in the mood for a PC nostalgia trip, rel="nofollow">let's start things up…
rel="nofollow">…wonder what the hell was that thing on the floor…
rel="nofollow">…advance some years, when watching screensavers in the dark, all alone, could still scare the shit out of you…
rel="nofollow">…and finally finish it in the classic way.
As a juggler, I understand and laugh at this joke.

There, I summed up the COD, TF2,, and BF players in a nutshell.
(No offense if you get the reference.)

Fun fact:
In a limited number of copies of Diablo came this instructional video on how to use the newly founded "World Wide Web"
This service was curtailed after it was proven to be ….insufficient

Oh, you think THAT's old?
How many of you here grew up with the older episodes of the Fairly Odd Parents?
Yeah well too bad. The virtual reality helmets episode was 11 years ago. And you can't answer what many things you were doing in those past years off the top of your head.
ive been playing diablo today, just finished the chamber of bone quest
Ah, the internet, it takes me back…
OH GOD THE HORRIBLE NOISES, MAKE THEM STOP!
Why does everything takes so long to load… WHY!?
oh, you need to use the phone mom, ok i'll get off.
Possibly the worst nostalgia I've ever had.

Al Gore made Diablo?
Such ancient fossil…
Back in my day that there internet was used to connect military think tanks!
What is this "Diablo" you speak of? Is it a shitty ripoff of Diablo III?
Does anyone remember dial up?
When your phone and computer wen BOOWWWEEEP! Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo. BWOOOP! Boo bo beep! CCCCCCTZ TZZZZZZZZ DEEDOO DEEP! DEE DOO- CCCCCCCCCCS WAAA!
So Diablo invented the Internet?

Because all the good jokes are taken.
I have a sudden urge to dust off my Baldur's gate Disks. not sure why.
Ahh, The Internet. Youngsters nowadays don't show it due respect *shakes cane*
Back in my day, we called it COMPUSERVE. And we didn't have this fancy-pantsy Windows interface nonsense.
