Nothing that guy said made any sense or related at all to what the narrator was talking about.

hehe, Hellbender, haven't played it in years and years. That was actually a pretty good Descent clone, used to play the hell out of it with one of the old variable-tension Gravis sticks.

Kinda funny? That was the most obnoxious just fucking awful commercial I have ever seen. I couldn't even make it past the halfway point.

A friend of mine used to say some things were so stupid, they were funny. I used to say, no they're just stupid. I guess even I have exceptions.

Wasn't it actually made by team that did Terminal Velocity? I loved Descent and TV, but never really played Hellbender.

I think I might have 'Forsaken' in the back of a cupboard somewhere if it helps...

I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

Huh. That finally triggered something in my head that reminded of the name of another bundled-in game I'd never finished: Crusader: No Remorse. That one I haven't even been able to find in my boxes.

Too many old games went unfinished. I did finish Doom, but I recall getting permanently stuck the first time I encountered an underwater area in Duke Nukem 3D.

I must be a sad individual - I finished Doom, Doom II, Heretic, DN3D and Descent

That was humerous, gave me nostalgia about using windows 95 years back. Part of me misses that old machine we had. Don't ask me why.

It had an A:\ drive. It may have even had a B:\ drive. None of this "alphabet starts with C" crap.

All the available sound and graphics cards used the same interface. They also all used the same COM port, but nevermind that.

LOL, I made it through the whole ad, but I now wish I hadn't.

And, "Nancy" sure is right ... watch the video, you'll see.

The only thing that could make the ad worse is if bat-shit crazy Steve Ballmer was in it ....



Err, eeewwww, just like he did here:




And again here .....

Yeah Ballmer probably came up with the ideas for it.

No. You were 2 years old when Windows 98 was released (in 97 I think). You never used Win 95. Don't pretend.

Bold statment, especially since you know little about my past

I actually had an old AT PC with 95 back in 2001 maybe, but eventually got traded for a Win XP mchine in I think 2003~4.

Interesting to note how many of those software titles were obsoleted by the internet!
Google maps most obviously obsoletes the route finding one but most of the others too if you think about it...
