    But once I got this, there was no turning back.

    After about 4th grade, it was all guns and go-carts for my brother and I. Can't beat growing up on a farm.

    Atari 2600...until NES

    Nothing came close to topping the NES until we got our first PC.

    “They're very, very hard to guard,” Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said. “They're really good. And with Niang in the middle kind of wheeling and all those guys spreading you out, they're kind of a nightmare matchup. And they're men. They're really men.”

    They made you work to play your games. Worth it.

    Laser tag set. We had it all. Had those and headset walkie talkies and played for hours in our woods by our house.
    THe Saturday morning cartoon was awesome too.
    Used to light a lot of fires too. No idea how we never burned anything down. We also had a small goal that my parents bought us to play hockey on the driveway and we made up tons of games with that.
    Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

    I played a lot with toy tractors. I also liked my lincoln logs and tinker toys. To the detriment of our wild bird population, I also enjoyed my bb gun.

    Except those few times when someone bumped it causing it to reset. Then spending the time to get it working again.
