Things we miss...

I miss the time when I was too young to buy beer. So me and my friend would patrol the neighborhood scouting for parties at night. We actually made it into a few.

I miss the time when my mom would blast Queen on the stereo as I played The Legend of Zelda for the first time.

I miss the time that I looked forward to my next Tips and Tricks magazine that came in the mail...
 
what did the chickens play?

wtf is toonami?

this yugioh/dbz generation makes me weep inside. i miss when kids had thundercats, GIjoe, upside down driving remote control cars, poison pogs and slammers, idols like john belushi, slayer, pantera and other badass, manly shit to grow up with.

i think that japan has successfully completed phase one of it's hostile western takeover, and i blame DBZ, yugioh, haim saban and jrock.

i also miss the days when i could jerk off for like an hour until i simply couldn't go on any more and then do it again 20 minutes later.
 
I miss waking up on saturday morning, getting a big ass bowl of cereal, popping on the TV a 6am and sit and watch He-Man, GiJoe, Transformers (the 1st gen, yeah Im THAT old), then 2 hours of looney tunes. Yall kids have NO CLUE what good cartoons are these days!

GIJoe was the hypest shit. Thundercats, not as much, but it was still boss. I'm more partial to Transformers, though.

Also, Toonami was one of the latter generations exposures to Japanese animation, which has taken a hugely different path than our own animation (low budget film industry, animation was cheap, one thing lead to another, etc. etc.). Don't think it was completely retarded, though. There was Voltron, Robotech, Gigantor (GigaaaaAAAaantooor!), Gundam, Miyazaki movies, and hell, closer to the end they even through some sketchy bits in there. Yeah, it may have had alot of Japanese influence, but many of the old school cartoons had animation done by the Japanese for Americans. Along with the animation shown, they had quite a bit of music-geared segments. I remember DJ Qbert being on there and thinking "Aw hell naw".

It's cool and all it's coming back, but do I care? Not really. It's just like when I heard Bionicles were going to be discontinued. I had a bit of an emotional reaction because I remembered them fondly, but it's not like I actually gave a damn. Nostalgia should be there just to say "Oh yeah" to and move on.
