I wish I had TV Land when I was a kid. I grew up watching Nick at Nite, with Jeanie, Lucy, The Munsters, Gilligan's Island, Brady Bunch, Happy Days... Now it's stuff like Malcolm in the Middle, and 90s sitcoms.
Get off my lawn.

It wasn't on the basic cable service here, just the extended packages. NOW it is.
Like so many others have said, keep on keeping on with your love of retro games. I too think it's awesome that someone as young as yourself can appreciate the classics. I was once in your shoes, but the kids thought I was crazy for loving Atari games, not NES or SNES. We all grew up with those!
I'm young, and i love old stuff. I think VHS and laser disc's are cool, and i have a retro game collection. I grew up with the N64 and gameboy color, and man, there were some good times. Basically, i like modern things, but also old stuff is neat.
laserdiscs kick ass.
like in SLC punk when the guys like "DERES A MOVIE ON DERE"
with the HUGE SHINEY LASER DISC.

Yeah, she is. I thought that when I saw the panels. But her body does look really strange on that pic, I gotta say (and that from a guy who really likes chubby gals). Maybe it's just the clothing. By the way, Icarus: are those just random pics you found, or its already some meme I'm not aware of?
Off-topic, I know, but worth noticing. Now back to our normal programming.

This is an interesting topic, because this sort of thing has been around for so long now. How many people in 1989 made fun of my CV while they were playing their NES consoles? Even I won't argue that an NES is technically superior to a CV (just how much so).
Then came to 16-Bit Era, and soon those people who stuck with the NES were the dinosaurs.
And when the 32-Bit/CD Era came around, well, the difference between an NES and a CV became largely academic, like comparing a tennis ball to a golf ball next to a small mountain.
There is something about the classic era that people who make fun of it usually fail to mention: in spite of the lesser technology of the time, the arcade scene had much more variety. There were the car games (second-person), gun games, and fighting games you saw so much of during the 1990s (and the 2000s?), but there was also so much more: Jungle Hunt, Moon Patrol, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Mr. Do!, Battlezone, Star Fire, Pengo, Qix, Defender, etc.-style games. By extension, home console owners would benefit from the variety, as well as having the games one didn't find in an arcade (backgammon, reversi, RPGs, etc.).
Thus, there was a much greater chance of any given person walking into an arcade finding something he'd like. This could only have helped keep the arcades going. Even if the visual and audio technology of, say, a one-on-one fighting game is so much better than that of such a game from 1983, it just won't appeal any more to someone who does not care for such a game.
Games that rely strictly on graphics and sound have VERY limited lifespans.
Interesting stuff, here (COMPLETELY unbiased opinion, hehhehheh):

I'm 33 now and I like both old and current gen, I guess and just a gamer and don't care that much about nostalgia or technology, I simply play what I like.
My neighbor is like 14 and when we were younger he used to come over and play my old games all the time. He still loves old games. And my cousin who's just slightly older than him still thinks it's fun to try out certain old ones even though he is usually immersed in online Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
That was funny when we hooked up my Commodore 64 for the first time and we were trying to load games from floppy and cassette. It was definitely a WTF experience for both of us until I figured out the command that will boot any floppy you put in the drive, but when we tried cartridge games like "Clowns" and "Choplifter" we actually got some fun out of it. He couldn't see it being worth the time to load cassette though. "I waited 8 minutes and all I get is this?" It was pretty funny.

Shenanigans indeed. And I want my "Yeah, she is" in context, Mr. Ryborg: I DID say her body looked weird, damn it!But I sustain that she's still a cute girl - at least, from the neck up; I like chubby girls, but there's something strange there.
And I still wonder where did Icarus got those pics from - a Photoshop crop tool miracle, for sure.

her face is cute. the rest of her makes me want to man the harpoons.
Google images, it's a treasure trove of time saving. But, one can creep on Facebook, view public and private photos without an account. While I don't technically Facebook (I don't have an account), I can still use it for some purposes.
Some people will post anything on the internet... Seen/unseen again. But after Ero Guro exposure, you are pretty much desensitized to anything else post-able.
Shenanigans? Like Pedobear's nickname is Aqualung type shenanigans?
