Rented this a few times from Blockbuster and played it at the demo that was always set up at Costco, it was a really solid system with actual potential. Blockbuster had a program back in the day where for $40 or something like that you could rent a system with 2 controllers and 2 games for 7 days. Did the same with the Sega Saturn with similar feelings, eventually ended up owning a N64 and that was not a disappointment in the end.

The ballistic hard shell cases with foam inserts Blockbuster rented out consoles in were seriously cool I wonder if any exist still

Oh yeah we had those too. I totally forgot about A&E, those tapes were around for sure. And a lot of stuff from the National Film Board, I think the schools in Canada got that stuff for free or something.

In class it was always

• Shrek
• Shrek 2
• Remember the Titans
• Jurassic Park
• Any Rando Jim Carrey Movie

Although in grade 9 law class we got to watch Heat, Dirty Harry and My Cousin Vinny, that teacher was cool

In the USA/Canada the cheapo ice cream is labeled "frozen dairy dessert", instead of "ice cream".

I'm simply annoyed that all the news stories post-election have only slightly changed. We went from 'here's all the awful things Trump will do if he gets re-elected' to 'here's all the awful things Trump is planning to do now that he's re-elected'. It's not really new content, just the same stories over again.

There wasn't even a week off from it, the man and his coverage is an assault on all the senses and it's just never ending.

Hehe 'loads'

Exactly this. It was a very boring job, pretty much just filling out a form for people who couldn't /didn't want to do it themselves online... not sure what about it was worth sharing to begin with, would have been terrible content lol

Someone at a no-paper, no-phones call centre I worked at had their buddy film them taking a call then they posted it to YouTube, both of them got fired when someone in management apparently saw it online.

I always liked the translucent purple N64 and the controller that came with it. If they made a GameCube that way it would probably be my favourite.

Good idea I might try that. It was already ruined by the last tenant's cats this one is actually pretty good for using her scratchy cardboard and post (most of the time)
