I loved me some Battle Chess as a kid, eat that Queen!! But I don't remember it running as slow as the vid shows, but it was a long time ago so... and the speed of computer is relative to date.

Girl Talk is 25?

I thought Secret Diary (NSFW) came out in 2002.

I remember when my friends were getting Prozac, and the flowbee, and shamu 1.

ZAZ: RTM later sold a startup to Yahoo! for tens of millions, received a Ph.D. from Harvard, and ultimately became a professor at MIT. So he's doing all right.

Also a member of the Improbable Research (Ig Nobel) editorial board, where among all his accomplishments he proudly acknowledges his felony conviction as his defining accomplishment.

It's what he did that amazed everyone. He broke the law, paid the consequences, and went on to be an amazing member of society.

In October of 1988 I was 19 years old and had just started at the best job I ever had.

Best Buy Company.

They paid great, they accommodated my hours to meet my college schedule, I was teamed with some guys who would become my mentors and they hadn't yet become the corporate caricature they would later evolve into (although the signs were there).

Also, I still had a great head of hair, I was getting laid a lot and I had no bills to speak of, outside of weed, gas and beer.

It doesn't seem like it should be that long ago.

• Action Comics #1 (first published appearance of Superman) was published 75 years ago later this month.

That's two uniquely American artforms (out of only a handful to exist) that got their main revivals that perpetuated them to this day, 75 years ago this month.
