Blizzcon stopped being a thing when they stopped making good games like about 15 years ago.

Recycling is what Disney does best :>

I could not for the life of me get my head into the classic version of subspace. Buuuut Trench Wars was sick AF especially when the server admins set up Zombies! Events on the weekends.

I actually bought the boxed version of the game on 4 separate 3.5" floppies :o

Was in a clearance bin at Toys R Us for like 5 bucks. I remember being so stoked to be able to buy all the different weapons they teased at the end of the shareware episode!

I'll show you mine if you show me yours:

Loved the Hugo games. The jungle one was probably my favorite up to the point where I needed to find out some trivia question about the name of some person's dog before the time of Internet.

Def after gorilla

Woah didn't know about the Android port! Def gonna check it out. Thanks!

You try Tyrian? It was like raptor but dialed up to 11 with different planes and an actual storyline :o

Solar winds blew my mind once I actually figured out all the controls. The universe they built was super cool and I really dug the combat. Can't count the number of times I got owned by this guy trying to blow him up from the get go.

Save 5 rounds of cash for a death's head nuke

Shriek "Now tremble before Thor's Hammer mortals!" to your friends seated around you

Press fire

Accidentally blow yourself up when the wind pushes it back in your direction 🤡

Mandatory xkcd:

Jon Stewart: "How old are you?"

Tucker Carlson: "35."

Jon Stewart: "And you wear a bow tie."

"Look, I'm not suggesting you aren't a smart guy, because those things are not easy to tie. But the thing is, you're doing theatre, when you should be doing debate. It's not honest... what you do is partisan hackery."

Jon Stewart on Crossfire

And so savage was the mockery that he never wore a bowtie again.

That's because they used pewter containers which were pretty common back in the day. The acidity from tomatoes would leech the lead out of the pewter and into the tomato so anyone eating this lead infused tomato product was gonna be in for a bad time.
