      I’m willing to bet he now manages a team of salespeople at a car lot in BFE, Iowa, and regales customers with stories from his glory days while he sneaks hidden fees into the lease.

        Finance guy for sure. Captures your attention while he’s babbling on about the good days, and casually just tells you the common customer defaults are selected before he goes back into his glory days of the 90s.

        Did you notice i slipped in that defaults for most customers part? Yeah, i almost didn’t either as I was signing and had i clicked ‘OK’, my payment would have doubled for something I would never need. He stopped talking as much when i said, these defaults are a scam and scrolled to page 5 of the options which was “No extras”.

    All I see is a rich kid. I bet all of his friends were better at the games than he was too, that’s why he’s not smiling.

    If you were rich, yes - or rather your parents. We did had one of those thingies to rip SNES roms though.

    Took me a minute to realize that there was not, in fact, a pepperoni sticking out of the back of his Game Boy.

    I think I just unlocked a new level of back pain… I had that same exact television, and the slightly different Nintendo stand with the cabinet door on the side. A friend had the one in the picture though.

    In case you were wondering, that nearly empty shelf can fit the NES, and the red bar will fit in the indentation at the bottom of the system and keep it from sliding out when you pull out a game cartridge.
