What piece of popular technology came and went the fast

Laserdisks and later mini disks

Laserdiscs had a 20 year run.

This was around for a couple of decades, but nothing has replaced it. It was in service until 2003.

And once you realize that the Saturn was on a whole different fukking level in Japan compared to the states, it hurts souls

Word to this breh

As trash as american saturn commercials were, they might as well had taken a risk and aired the rider 1 commercials in the west. It wasnt like they had much more to lose at that point

I wish I knew why so many people keep saying Neo Geo. It was one of the greatest and longest running gaming platforms ever. It had released throughout the 90s, all up until 2004. In fact it outlived the Genesis and SNES with game releases being the 2D powerhouse it was. There are tons of Neo Geo cabinets still out there. When arcades started shutting down and places began phasing out traditional joystick-and-pushbutton arcade machines for the "Raw Thrills" deluxe light gun and driving games and shyt like that, I remember Neo Geo cabs being one of the few traditional units besides the Capcom-Marvel mashup fighters to stick around for a long time.

Im waiting for the day someone finally releases a competent commercial portable Neo Geo emulator with accurate sounds, colors, inputs, and library. Having Metal Slug 1-5 on the go alone is worth every penny. Neo Geo kicked ass.

To be fair, the AES console jawns were innovative during the time, but hard to come by due to the fact that they were expensive as hell, along with the cartridges that were damn near 200 dollars and 300 pounds:

This shyt alone is the size of a console in itself.

While the actual Neo Geo owned the 90s, if you wanted to experience the arcade games at home, its going to hurt pockets

I remember this one boy in school got in trouble for heelying in the restroom.

Dude thought he was hot shyt heelying from the urinal to the sink.

I forgot about Heelys!


Around 2012 I had just started at my company and this guy used to take a running start and heely his ass through the main call center which was set up with hundreds of cubicles


One day he did the same thing and I guess his heely caught on a rip in the carpet or something. This fakkit hit a wall of cubicles going about Mach 5


By himself he wiped out at least 5 cubicle walls before he came to rest in a heap


But he started off a chain of dominoes and damn near half of the cubicle walls came crashing down



I saw the carnage and was


A company wide email went out the next day banning heelys on the premises
