This is why I stay in the room when I let my kid on the playstation. He’s five, and whilst he’s grand at using the controller to open netflix and select kids and play the shows he likes; for gaming he is just not able to read and understand all the prompts and menus at the start of a lot of games. He’ll get there but

Did that new Jeep get it’s camry dent in the front right bumper as a sort of tip-o-the-hat to the Toyota?

Driver was great, despite that stupid bloody driving test at the start. It had a great driving feel pre-GTA3. Good times on the PS1 alright.

Like the Doc said: “Turn right to go left”.

Snuffawhateveritscalled ruined the block, from his first appearance. From day one he fucked up Big Bird’s relationship with everyone. Elmo was just the next level of endumbening. I say this as an old fart who remembers when Mister Hooper died, and loved Gordon and Maria and Luis and Bob.

Cars 3: Chick Hicks Revenge.

Yep, kerrygold is real butter, and quite easy to get in the ‘States, at least in the Northeast. Don’t hoard it, slap it on some toast right now!

I guess the rose tint in my old man eyes made it look brown, I stand corrected.

Silence, knave! As a kid who drooled over exotic American cars in the mid 70's I can assure you that the call of the brown automobile is real and true.

It’s brown for god’s sake.

Call me crazy, but I’m in love.

Ha! I grew up in Ireland but never learned to drive there. I learned in NYC and now live upstate. On a recent trip to the old country my brother put me in his car (Ford Focus, manual of course) and had me do the driving, and it was nerve racking. The same country roads, sitting on the wrong side, shifting, three

On PS3? Dammit, now I have no excuse not to buy it.

This is the one for me. My mom had one when it was new. What a ride!

People used to get pretty crazed about the Bay City rollers back in the day too. Kids these days.

Also on the way out this February: Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. Dammit, just as my son was getting into it!

This is all true. My wife got me a console last Christmas and it was quite a delay between the opening of the box and the commencement of the pew-pew.

I’ll show my advanced age and push my own theory that Sesame Street was ruined by the arrival of Mr. Snuffleupagus. I remember being a little kid and the very first time that sack of shit shows up I didn’t like him. Next thing you know he’s getting Big Bird in trouble. All my little kid self could say was “Mr Hooper

Hey beardo, whatcha compensating for? Bald? Fat? Short? No chin? Just be(ard) yourself sonny.

I started playing guitar in the 80s, so I had some of that natural “it’s not a real guitar” thing when rock band was all the rage. Last year my wife bought me Rocksmith and the only reason I don’t play it more is because I need to take over the living room to do it. I can attest that even people who already play
