I miss being able to walk up in a Hollywood video store and renting a game.

[hotbeezie]

This shyt is way better the way it is now. Like I can choose to rent or buy whatever game/movie and never Leave the house/couch/bed/dorm.

One thing kids wont have, is the quality time kids spent with their parents/friends going to arcades, blockbuster/hollywood video, etc.. My dad used to take me to hollywood video every friday to rent a movie or game after school on friday to have something lined up for the weekend. Shout out to pops

thats probably most of them are anti social as hell even though they have access to talk to more people online than ever before. Their real world transactions with regular people are few and far between it seems

That's what most of these nikkas don't think about when they talk shyt about how things used to be. These new kids don't have any kind of people skills and don't know how to interact with one another.

shyt is gonna be a mess in 20 years....

Nope

People said the same thing 20 years ago about the youth and video games. Kids still go to school, have parties, participate in after school activities, play sports, etc. The lack of socializing kids do is dramatically overblown. The same kids that spend all of their time online would have been the same kids growing up in our day that played the game non-stop, and never went outside.

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

damn brehs. Memories

What yall know about renting a N64 for your birthday party and getting perfect dark only to find out the expansion pack didnt come with it

Or renting a game that sucked, bringing it back to them and telling them it didnt work, then getting another game

People were making the same correlations between video games and anti-social behavior in the 80s and 90s that are being made about Internet usage today. If anything the uproar about gaming and it's long term psychological effects on children was much more extreme. There was legislation going all the way back to the early 80s to ban arcades because people thought kids playing games would negatively impact society, and even the Surgeon General at the time was advocating against allowing kids to play video games.

In some aspects they were right. Childhood obesity has skyrocketed since the 80's and there's a growing epidemic of socially-retarded kids out there that wont be able to function in society.

Outside activity in the 80s n 90s was still a priority over games.
