How old are you in the photo, man? You look 18 in those shots?
As a 25 year old, I find it interesting to know how it must have felt to have that system around as an adult. I started vidya at 4, first on NES, then to SNES, Playsation, so on.

1989, out of the blue for me. My mom got us up one morning in the summer and said, "We're going to go get a Nintendo." My little brother and I didn't think she was serious.

yeah shit, its weird. i grew up reading choose your own adventure books, and now and then playing d and d with some friends though we were too young to stay serious. playboy mags were starting to take over.

then computers hit the neighborhood. 3 of us got c64's and i didnt lose my virginity until i was 19 years old. lol not saying i should have stuck with the playboys, but i cant complain how ive turned out.

sorry for bloggin, just nostaggin a bit.

I know most people would look at pictures like this now and think "wow, I don't know how you older people tolerated those graphics back then, but they must have!"

I love old photos like these. I have always enjoyed taking photos and keeping them in a safe place so every couple years I can look back on them.

How excited were you to be playing mario bros? Also what is the storyline in these photos? You are sitting beside some presents then running down the hallways with a wrapped NES? Then you are playing it in your room and somebody is taking pictures? I am also curious to see what you look like now OP.

i'd 1-up that notion and say save up some cash and go to rio de janero and lose it there. you'll get a much better price, a way younger/hotter girl, and she'll treat you like a person instead of some loser trying to get 14000 bucks or whatever the going rate for an hour with an american escort is these days, and then you can enjoy one of the most beautiful and unique colonial cities in the world.

lost my virginity to a prostitue @ 27.
one of my best decisions in life.

im a person who thinks a lot. after my first experience, a weight fell of my shoulders as the anon said.

you should of course do you research in your regional hooker forum. yes, there are forums out there where most girls are rated like a product: looks, etc.

-does she provide a "girlfriend experience"?
-does she kiss?
-does she blow you with our without a condom (huge difference)

look for one with the best ratings.
