I think it’s probable he would have just said politicians, instead of specifying.

Yes, things are so wonderful in Sweden these days.

World, no? Politicians? Absolutely.

They’re all off their rockers. All of them. Sanders’ economic ideas are every bit as batshit as Marco Rubio wanting to set up a no-fly zone over an area where Russia flies missions every day. He has no understanding of why things cost what they do or how to change that except via fiat, nor is he even aware, let alone

Should have taken the money. There are no saints in politics on either side of the aisle. Really, there aren’t even any decent human beings. He’s rejecting one set of scumbags because he believes in another set of scumbags. This is only important to his wallet, which just stays lighter than it could be. Nothing else

Watch the video.

Er, this is a video that demonstrates they can’t get a Halo 5 game in Australia. They were, however, able to get games in MCC and Halo Reach, of all things.

Haha. We’ve all been there.

If you meant “teenagers and older,” they didn’t play Metroid when it was contemporary either. They either didn’t play video games at all, played games on an IBM/Tandy/AppleII or went to corner arcades. The NES was designed and marketed strictly toward children who were too young to be teenagers.

Yep.

“I accidentally thought there was rocket ships in the 1400s. Easy mistake to make, but I edited it out, so it’s all good and the point still stands.”

I see that you made a reference to “complaining on websites” to another poster.

Oh, I don’t think Punk will be (successful). Shamrock was entering a fledgling, chaotic, free-form sport at 22 and carried an extreme size/fitness advantage over practically everyone he fought for the first 10 years.

“Electronics” and “NES” weren’t considered the same thing in the late 80s. You couldn’t go to an “electronics” or “computer game” store and buy a NES before Babbages (now called Gamestop) went national in around 91 or 92. Nintendo only shipped the NES to toy stores, which, otherwise, didn’t sell electronics. In 1988

No adult gamer would have touched Nintendo in 1989 except as a joke, let alone talk to their co-workers about a character’s reveal in a kid’s magazine.

Nobody older played Nintendo. They all went to arcades.

Arcades were popular and it wasn’t uncommon for someone’s dad to, for example, play a rudimentary flight sim on his Apple II GS or whatever, but the NES was a different animal. There was a firm perception that that thing was just a toy.

In 1989 or so, anyone north of, say, 12 didn’t touch the NES (they went to arcades, if they played games at all) and anyone younger than 8 or so had trouble understanding they could guilt-trip their parents into buying one if they worked them long enough, so had no access unless they had an 8-11 year old brother with

Dude, see this for what it is. It’s not some hyper-accurate flight sim; it’s a marketing tie in.

Ken Shamrock did make the transition from Studio wrestling to MMA, it just wasn’t WWE to UFC. He started out in some small WWE wannabee promotion and went from there to Pancrase in the early 90s.
