Remember when

Sometimes when I am really bored at work I will go to the xbox live forums. I watch a desk from Midnight to 8 a.m. . It gets pretty quite from say 4 a.m. to about 6 or so. Anyways the forums make me laugh a  lot the Timmies really are funny. Some guy posts how much a game stinks and the flamers start saying you only say that because you suck at it.

Anyways the other day I was reading people complaining about achievments not unlocking. First of all I can kinda of understand this because I have a certain sense of accomplishment when that little message pops up. The thing that made me laughh was one poster said I wasted three weeks and then didn't get the accomplishment. So I thought well I remember when you played games to play them hence the following list.

Remember when the only accomplishment you got from a game was the fact that you beat it and yet you had no proof because there was nothing showing you did.

Remember waiting in line to play Pac-Man for an hour or more then only playing like 10 minutes and getting back in line all over again.

Remember gasp actually having to search for the song you wanted to listen to by hitting FF or Rewind.

How about when they actually made Tape decks that skipped to the next song that blew my mind.

When you could buy LPs at the mall.

When they were still called albums and LPS.

Cassette, 8 trak, or LP

Having to carry a disk that held less information then the flash drives do and they only worked on certain computers.

When computer games were bought for youer specific one.

C-64

laser discs

Beta

The biggest fear in school was fist fights and not guns

The first time you saw/heard a cd

When you never rated a game based on graphics because frankly now we know they sucked

Super Tecmo bowl

Mario Brothers

Arcades

Skating rinks being the place to go.

Let me hear an Amen if you remember these things.
