    Decent music and TV. Really miss those. The cult of 'Xfactor' is now too well established in society to offer redemption:rolleyes: No, I am not a religious nutjob, just hate how the entertainment industry is going in general. Talent > Popularity contests.

    Was actually remembering the other day how brilliant it was to get a new playstation game.
    Just everything about it..the grating sound of the case opening, reading the manual while it's loading up, getting up excited in the morning to play it a bit before school, the excitement of playstation power magazines when they had the yellow pages of cheats inside and it's finally one of the games you have.. no excitement in computer games when ya grow up! Crash bandicoot ftw

    LAN gaming too. Internet play is all well and good, but nothing beats sitting in an internet cafe with 10+ people shouting abuse while playing Quake locally.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    I miss the compact disk. I don't just mean the little piece of round refractive plastic in the jewel case but moreso the mystique of picking the product out from a music store shelf, buying it, bringing it home whilst looking at the lyrics etc on the bus and then finally the task of feeding them into a CD player. It was almost religious.

    You just don't get that buzz anymore from MP3's.
