@mitchconner Our teacher brought the TV in our... 5th? grade class was it? Or was it the 6th grade? I forgot
And then I couldn't watch fucking cartoons on most channels for a few days so that a news anchor could repeat the same lack of news every 5 mins

It was my second year in university. The huge jump in time when thinking about events really doesn't bother me anymore. It just kinda makes sense now.

@coolboymew @mitchconner I was in 6th grade when 9/11 happened. I remember earlier in the day walking by the library to another wing of the school and I saw a bunch of teachers sitting down on a bench watching a CRT TV on a cart and didn't pay mind to it and then later in the day they had an assembly telling us what happened. I remember it being a sunny day and being pissed because they made us have indoor recess and wouldn't explain why until we almost left for the day. Then I rode home on the bus and got pissed I couldn't watch afternoon cartoons on TV because they kept showing the same footage of a plane flying through a tower. I think to pass the time I was playing the Zelda Oracle games on my gameboy that I had recently gotten for my birthday. I stll have those carts but I lost the original boxing for them >_<

They canceled and censored all kinds of shit after. Like they canceled Popeller Arena for Dreamcast because of it

@mitchconner @coolboymew I still remember when sega cancelled selling their official light gun in U.S for the Dreamcast because of Columbine. Though they would still port light gun games here but you needed to buy a shitty Madcatz gun instead.

@coolboymew @mitchconner too add insult to injury even if you import a japanese light gun for the dreamcast it will not work on NTSC-U games. They literally region locked the light gun so it only works with Japanese games.
