I am the only man in my town with a dreamcast. I don't know how to feel about that.

I was wonderin where the fuck my fuckin Cheez TV was and why there was no god damned DBZ on

I was playing Crash Team Racing with my friend when 9/11 happened.

Since I was playing game up to 30s before it took me a bit to realize shit was real.

I'm not from USA btw

>>3797251
Well, at least someone had a good day, hope you got one of the good lightguns on the same day.

>>3803237
