When I first heard about this, I dismissed it as “it’ll probably suck”...Now, after watching the trailer - heck, even just after watching the gif - I think...

Not quite as cool as what happened to me in my classroom with a SPINNER!

Same here. My rule is: If you’re doing your work, taking notes, and not just staring at the spinner, have at it. It’s spreading like wildfire though, and as soon as one makes noise or vibrates along a desk top, I YOINK it away, then poke fun at them all by attempting to teach with a spinner in my hand.

CORRECT! I could get to the 2nd to the last level almost easily as a kid, but that stupid rolly-ball level always kicked my rear. I never beat it till emulation and save states, and when I finally tackled that last level tower, I just kept thinking: NO WAY...this game wants me to CRY!

Yeah, this MM wasn’t the hardest for me. 1-4 were pretty standard for young me, as I beat them all on the second day I rented it from the local video store. I’d say the hardest were 6 or 7, mostly because they were way more boring to slog through.

This is truly one of the classic HARD games of the NES. I even brought this game to school to challenge my middle-schoolers to attempt to even finish a single level 2-2...I promised them a reduced assignment, or something like that, to inspire them. No one could do it, but dang if they didn’t try and BOY oh BOY did

Yeah, that was the only one I never got to beat as a kid. I could always get to the last level, but then my continues would run out. Pretty brutal, considering the 1st and 2nd installment had those unlimited continues for the stubborn (like me).

Huh, no love for Tekken Tag 2, or any other Tekken besides the newest? Weird. I thought the Tekken series as a whole was much bigger/more beloved. Guess I was wrong...quite wrong based off that list.

AMEN! Exactly!

Now playing

“Teachers hate them”??? Well, not this teacher! It’s true though...all the cool kids in my class have them, then all the not cool kids got them too, then became cool, leaving me, a BORING teacher remaining uncool...

EPIC!

OMG, that touchpad layout, with the speakers in the front...I think I may have owned that very laptop!

Dynamic whaaaaa? Get off my lawn!!!

Oh yeah, I DEFINITELY run an older-non-sellout, not-filled-with-ads version. Still runs ultra fast, ultra lite, and plays a good deal of formats!

How have I gone through life without hearing this song before!? I am now complete!!! Hahhahahaahaaaa! Thank you!

Glad I’m not the only one that still has some college-year mixed tapes...er, mixed CDs. When I first bought my CD burner, a 1X beast that was slow as sin, I became a tech GOD amongst my friends.

Heh, my parents had a working 8-track player in my youth...but truly, HolmerS, you have out-old-man’ed me!

Right!?! I love the equalizer, usually set on ROCK. Gives that nice little bass boost that makes each song tailor-made for my bass-loving ears!

Dude...you reopened doors of memory in my ancient brain that have been closed for so very long. GoZilla!? That program was a god-send to the dial-up modem user! Scouring FTP sites for songs...finding hoards of songs that required upload “points” before you could download. Man! Good times.

I actually wasn’t joking. I still use it. Heck, I showed it to my students the other day at school and they were all, “Wow, that’s a cool music player! Is that new?!”
