I preferred your last avatar, so I put it back. My apologies to the pedo who purchased your last one (it's always projection).

I posted about this in the pediepie thread but it blows me away how nickelodeon came this || close to discovering let's plays with nick arcade and they completely missed it. The only reason any kid watched that show was to watch people play the loving games and they did everything in their power to put as little of that in as possible. Imagine if they figured it out before the internet. Running an individual channel for each sub-genre of game and raking in those advertisement bucks.

You had to pay for the VHS, which is why it wasn't popular:

I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.

I felt like a real baller being 8 and having a subscription to a magazine.



I remember the commercials for that loving magazine and how they reiterated over and over to have your parents call. It was literally every other sentence in those commercials.

What did my dumb rear end do? Call that loving number when I was at my grandmother's house one day and try to set up a subscription. They wanted to speak to an adult so I handed the phone to my completely confused grandmother and watched as she was telemarketer coerced into accepting a subscription to some magazine she had never heard of.

I got in trouble but I totally got Nickelodeon magazines that I would gloss over for a few seconds and throw down forever.

Legally in the US a minor can't enter into a contract - so when I was a kid and did something stupid like sign up for a magazine subscription, my mom would call and say "Eugene's under 18" and the charges would be removed

I don't know if kids can still get away with that, but it worked wonders for me to get free poo poo
