      Test version, monitor was just turned off at that part or something. We can with decent certainty actually say that it's unlikely that they just imposed a video of the game playing like they would to day, because back then, that would actually be less likely than someone just playing until that point during a break, pausing and turning the monitor off.

      I was a store manager at an appliance store. A customer wanted me to exchange his washer and dryer after they'd had it for a while beyond the return period. They needed it serviced, and it was covered under warranty. I told the man no, he'd have to get it serviced. He then told me out loud, in front of everyone else in there, "I'm gonna take this washer and dryer and shove it up your ass!!!". I told him that wouldn't work, sir. He said, "Why the hell not?". I said because I already have a side by side Amana refrigerator up there along with a Whirlpool dishwasher. Everybody laughed out loud in there but him, so he just stormed out of there. Never saw him again.

Somehow even more cheesey, and the way they try to sell to you that your crappy dept store job 'isn't so bad, it can actually be awesome' is dialed up over 9000 these days. And that's just job instructional videos, not the ones about HR concerns and potential on-site active shooter situations. :V

    Wow! This brings me back. My best friend's older brother worked at Electric Boutique, and stole this training tape from work because he hated his boss. I remember when he brought it home, my best friend invited me over, and we watched it together. I remember getting bored, and was more interested in the games than anything.

Kids will never know the pain of the flashing red light or blank screens. When I got my Genesis I was amazed it worked so well, even after months, unlike my NES that I blew on the cartridges on, or used the cleaning kit that would sometimes, but not always help. If I had only know that I could disable the chip, It would have saved me a LOT of frustration.

Then my dad just cowed down to the kid and wrote him this huge check just to get him to fuck off. My dad beat the crap out of my mom about every single day until they got divorced and always liked to avoid responsibility for constantly physically abusing my mom by blaming his drinking so obviously he was always dumb enough to never really make any smart decisions.

I have personally noticed, that living in an appartment complex, having noise cancelling headphones effectively cuts out any noise that comes from neighbouring appartments. Like music, chatter, walking noises etc. So in my mind, living in 90's would have been much more tolerable if noise cancelling earphones were available.

      I've played on original DMG enough. Yeah it looks washed out, it's heavy and it runs through batteries. The screen is visible enough to play on if you're not in a dim corner of the room. I wouldn't say it *needs* a backlight, but it plays best near a lamp. And it's more visible in dim-ish light than the original GBA if memory serves.
      I grew up on GB Pocket though, which has a MUCH improved screen, about the same legibility as pocket calculator LCDs. That legit didn't need a backlight under most lighting conditions, though I had a wormlight to play in dim or dark lighting. I still have it, it still works great, and it still gets way longer battery life than my 3DS.

      I have a few customers who bring my three coworks and I various gifts lol. My favorite is the guy who brings us beer and 40 burger patties from a local meat packing place every single time we do anything to his car. Even if he brings it in with a tiny problem, he always hooks us up big time. Best customer ever.

      Maybe if you had watched one from earlier like the 80s, but by 1991 Nintendo was an expert on everything having to do with consoles and how to sell them. Light years ahead of companies like Sony now even in 2020
