Kids these days eh?

[the_tyrant]

My little brother's birthday party is in a few hours, and I just found out he is hosting a lan party!:o

His friends are all going to bring their wiis to my house, and they are going to game! When i was 9, I didn't have a lan party, we went to play laser tag!


And just to add to my surprise, my little brother will recieve his first laptop in a few hours.


I hope this title has drawn your attention, and I hope some of you guys can help a friend out here. Please help, and play SH5 with me:DL

I will be waiting with a copy of SH5 1.2 in the ubi lobby

and remember! Call the_tyrantx on skype for a good time:03:

When I was in high school, a LAN party meant a bunch of PCs and Quake, not Wii.

Kids these days indeed :dead:

[Sledgehammer427]

we had lan parties with our pcs and Call of Duty UO. and that was something we did on summer nights. for birthdays we went lazer tagging or something like that. either way , wii parties aren't my bag.

When I was a kid we didn't have PCs, so we had LAWN parties instead!
:rotfl2:

When I was a kid...

...you were throwing stones at the dinosaurs:)

[Blacklight]

When I was a kid, we had no PC's but I DID have LOTS of board games. We used to play board games like crazy when we were kids. My birthday parties always consisted of board games all day. Then, later on in life, when we discovered Dungeons & Dragons, it turned into D&D or some other role playing game all day and night. :rock:

[Sailor Steve]

...you were throwing stones at the dinosaurs:)
You were there? You saw this? Your word is not sufficient evidence to convict me of being "older than the hills and twice as dusty". Beware, you are in danger of being called "old" yourself. :O:

Lawn? You were lucky to have a lawn! We got evicted from our lawn and had to go play in a landfill! But it was a garden to us!!!
:haha:

[nikimcbee]

Now i remember waaaaaay back, when I used to tell Sailor Steve age jokes, now everybody is in to it.:O:

We played outside all day. No PC's, no consoles. Head round to the neighbours with my air rifle and we would go shoot rabbits on the farm. Now its head round to the mates place and play the PS/Xbox. And kids! They think they know it all when it comes to computers they are so right and geeky and all that geeky stuff! Well I got news for them! Some blardy well are! :rotfl2: I once had this ten yr old turn up home with my son one day saw I was using windows 98 back then and ranted on about redhat linux and unix. I listened :o. That kid grew up and writes code for a firm.

With real Lawn Darts and everything. 1 lb. pointy, brass darts thrown high into the sky to land just inches away from your cousin!

Close. I remember playing 'Cowboys and Indians' with the kid next door. I was the Indian, rubber-sucker-tipped arrow and all. I told him I'd shoot at him, he would duck and then shoot me dead with his six-gun. Unfortunately he forgot to duck. Nailed him in the forehead. Went home crying. Me in trouble.

Funny thing is, I still remember his highly improbable name: Harold Shotwell.

[USS Drum]

Shotwell.

Was he good with the gun?

[soopaman2]

LAN with consoles?


Lulz:har:

Back in my days we had to lug our pc to peoples houses.

Kids these days don't exercise enough.:D

[Herr-Berbunch]

Back in my days we had to lug our pc to peoples houses.

And not just the PC, the wonderful green-screen monitor too, if you could afford it. And the tape player.

And tapes. Lots of very-long-to-load tapes. :nope:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Was anything else so perfectly matched? :hmmm:

[Sailor Steve]

Wasn't the "Manual Fast-Winding Stick" created for that purpose?

And then some brainiac decided to put some graphite in the middle, and an eraser on the other end...

[Sailor Steve]

And then some brainiac decided to put some graphite in the middle,
But...but...I thought that was to help guide it into the hole.

and an eraser on the other end...
What's an "eraser"? Isn't that something to chew on when you're not winding? Oh, maybe it's to erase the gunk from your teeth...

[Penguin]

ha, I know the answer to Kongo Otto's riddle:
You can use the pencil to write the name of the mp3's, that you burned on that tape, on the white, blank space! :know:

Do I get a cookie?

[Sailor Steve]

Nope. That's what pens are for.

[Penguin]

Pens? Ha! You crazy young sports used pens for your tapes! :haha:
We used to carve the band names in stone and then stick it onto the tapes! :know:

[Betonov]

Pha, at least you had tapes and pencils, I grew up in the Balkans :doh:

[Jimbuna]

Any kid with a tape splicer was a god amongst their peer group :DL

Back in the day we called that one the "Missile With a Man In It".

The pilots I knew locally called this one a "Lawn Dart".

We used to call that the Falling Falcon.

In FY 82 half of the US F-16 crashes in the world occurred at Hill AFB, UT. Lakeside Military Center to be exact.

We in EOD got a lot of practice scrapping them up off the desert.

[Sailor Steve]

They were falling long before that. When they first came to Hill the controversy was over whether it was the fly-by-wire system that was putting them down. The Air Force denied it, but nobody could guess that it would be anything else. That was why we called them 'lawn darts'.
