OMG ITS 1983!

[crashdummycow01]

.... when will all this "83-ness" be over?.. soon hopefully..

its like i come here to see if theres anything new goin on that i dont know about in the gaming world.. and all i get is news from 1983.. the whole acting like its 1983 and posting 1983 news and questions just seems retarded as hell... just my opinion..

also i found this pretty cool flash game

Actually....I think it's really really cool! I haven't had this much fun on these BODACIOUS boards in like, forever, dude!

Also...I remember Joe mentioning he had "plans" for the board that will increase the post count "tenfold". This may be it. This also may be the beginning. I won't be surprised to see this last for a week or more, also I wouldn't be surprised to come in tommorow and see another year up...possibly 1992...but then again I may just be thinking too much into it and this may just be a April Fools only thing. When you think about it it's not really a good April Fool's JOKE, but it's a good April Fools celebration.

I say this isn't the last we'll see of this.

psst... bring me a DeLorean and I'll take you back to this "2004" you speak of!

Like, take a chill pill already, lame-o.

Dude take a chill pill. Although this sin't my cup of tea it's kinda comical. I tihnk its funny to see what this board would've been like in 83'. That game though, my high score is 914.3

[crashdummycow01]

no no i understand its all in fun... and it is pretty funny... but every post i see is like... Check out this new game i got!.. and i'm thinkin wonder what game it is? and then its like.. I just got this crazy game called pac-man.. and i'm like.. DAMN YOU 1983! YOU FOOLED ME AGAIN!..

its like going into a forum.. and everyone is trying to pull an april fools joke on u.. by making posts that make you think they've really found a game or a computer.. then you click it to find out you've been fooled by their 1983 antics lol..

i'm not tryin to rain on anybody's parade, its just that i cant tell which posts are the fake 83 ones or which ones are about up to date games... so i go through about 20 posts about C64 and Atari before finding a true 2004 post..

lol i'll find a way to cope.. IMO there should be like... all the normal divisions of the forum, then an 83 division... doubt that will happen, but anywayz.. its 11 PM here and i'm tired.. BYE!

[ManekiNeko]

If it were up to me, I'd do this all week. I haven't enjoyed the forums this much in a long, long time. I suspect that my posts have gotten a lot more fun to read than they've been in a long time, too... as you can see, I had a lot less to bitch about in 1983 than I do now, twenty years later.

I say let the party continue.

I wouldn't worry about it. I've a feeling that, come midnight, the DP clock will enter a 21-year daylight-savings-time "spring forward."

*chews on rusty nails* jk.. i retract my statement of it being "retarded" ... i now consider it only mildly annoying.. lol also i should probably mention i'm only 16 and wasnt alive in 83.. that makes it slightly harder for me to actually post a response to alot of the 83 style threads

See that's a better attitude. It's just silly internet fun.

I find the whole thing annoying, bothersome, and a waste of time.

But that's just cause I hate this day REALLY, REALLY, REALLY badly.

I hope when I come back tommorow afternoon everything is back to normal and I can read threads without wondering "is this serious? Or a joke? Or someone's lame attempt at humor?"

Then you'll want to steer clear of DP on 4/1/2005.

April 1 has a tradition of chaos around here.

I honestly thought that it was a blast though I can understand the frustration from the younger members who weren't around yet in '83

MarioAllStar and Sotenga "got it" and I was honestly quite surprised they tried their best to play along. Props, guys!

Personally I think these threads have been super cool myself. Without a doubt 1983 was the greatest year ever for video games in my opinion. It was also one of the, if not the best year of my life. Keep the memories coming!
