I get the feeling i'm the odd one out now because I actually like modern stuff better than the old things : P
might be because I love new things in general, since I get distracted easily

I'd like to place an order for a '72 Dodge Dart please? If I'm getting fries with that, I'll also take an M4S. Thanks!

For day to day I like newer cars. Safer, generally more efficient, cheaper (arguable in a some cases), more comfortable (also arguable...though newer A/Cs are very nice). Funsies? Definitely the oldies. New models just can't match the feel of those old powerhouses. That's without going into the whole subject of how disposable new cars are are.

I thought battlebots went down hill after everyone switched to a wedge-bot... I guess they work well for hyperactive robot sumo though.
That constant scraping sound is quite irritating though.

I think a lot of the reason for the transition is safety and the fact that it's cheaper than say....a flamethrower or high RPM concrete saw. Personally I miss the piston drivers. Alien style fights there. Oh well

The older receivers look so much cooler than newer ones, not sure if I would trust one from the 70s one though.

That's a real beauty! My father has one that looks pretty similar, they were really built to last.

Not enough action in this thread. Time for ancient titles that nobody remembers!

Here's a hint - its lore is rumored to be that which birthed the Halo series

Aw man, I remember Bungie talking about this game, but I can't remember the title. Now I have to Google it.

Post-Google Edit: DERP!

I don't think i'm THAT ancient, what is it?

Game's title was Marathon. Basically Bungie sided with Mac to create a contender for Doom. The first 'episode' was released in '94 if I recall correctly. Then they released the next two episodes a year apart.

Shame Halo sucks now! >:V
Don't really want to crack that chestnut open, but I'll say Marathon had a better (if similar for obvious reasons) storyline. Just as a single example - the AI that Cortana was modeled after wasn't tied to a single suit's systems at any point ever, and was far more assertive. The actions of the AI entities alone were planetary in scale. Nor were they limited to human systems. Durandal in particular went even further than that, attempting to transcend the physical universe to become a god. Not to mention the personalities involved in Durandal, Leela and Tycho. This is all ignoring the xeno war that's threatening humanity as a whole.

The only downside was: to get to that story, you had to find consoles to read such text. Aka you had to work more for it than modern games. :D If you weren't pretty determined, you could miss interesting tidbits. So for an OCD person like myself...lotta game hours. Thankfully, every single console text in the game was recorded and added to an online repository (marathon.bungie.org: Marathon's Story). Downside is that a lack of action context lead to bits of confusion if you didn't actually play it.

I swear, Marathon has some of the deepest lore of any video game franchise ever. If I were decent at the shootsmaning I would be really into it but as it stands I'm just going to have to stick with Let's Plays.

If you really like it, look into the Eternal mod's story. It's more of an unofficial expansion that adds a ton to it. The dynamics are ridiculous due to the prospect of time travel and looping realities. Not sure if there's a LP out for it, though. Personally I'd just hit up a cheat and blow through it for the story (especially those last levels because daaaaamn they're rough). Rubicon was another good one, albeit shorter and not so grand.

With the way incandescent bulbs have gone, I'm imagining the tubes as LED. :D They were cool amps!

Damn, I remember when my parents got their first computer back in 99. My sister and I would fight over getting to use it, haha. Though all we did on it was play Crunchling Adventures.
Anyone else remember that shit? Good times.

Haha, yeah, it was one of those cereal box games. Our parents didn't let us on the internet until a little later, when we learned about Neopets.
Every couple of years I get reminded of Neopets... and with that, the memory of all those starving creatures I left to rot...

Shoryu and Korbat where the bomb though - I used to draw them till my wrist hurt XD

Lol, those are good times. ^^ I still get on every now and again to see what's been up, but my interest in the site has been long dead.
Oh man, Grundos and Krawks were my jam.
