Wow, was I wrong - The Bear and Badger

I traded a ton of stuff for inferior or comparatively worthless games (I think I got £3 off something else for trading in Shining Force III), but younger me would do it all again.

I used to think that during intercourse, the inside of the vagina would undulate like the side fins on a cuttlefish. I thought you just stuck it in there and the vag would do the rest.

Thankfully I found out I was wrong from porn, rather than humiliating myself.

I traded in a SNES with cib copies of many rpgs like Secret of Mana, and the big box Super Metroid, or a copy of secret of evermore that I never played, or Mega Man X which I did played. Traded for an N64 with Mario, Shadows, and (not Pilotwings) Turok

This was the right thing to do.

Thank you

I can recall on several occasions being convinced I would not have a hangover in the morning.

I was never drinking again at least 100 times.

As a younger and more foolish boy I once traded in FF8 and Metal Gear Solid for Fade to Black and Nightmare Creatures.

nightmare creatures was amazing.

Fade to Black replacing Metal Gear Solid is the largest of oofs. I rented that once.

I, of course, still own it.

I always know i'm getting a hangover if i drink too much.
However i have often wrongly thought "I'll stop drinking after 6 pints"

Every time I think about the massive mistakes I’ve made in my life I try to remember that year that Muzzy gave up buying new games.

I swapped Sonic 2, Jamespond 2, Lemmings, and Rolo to the Rescue all for Lillehammer Winter Olympics on the Megadrive. This was with our local 'videoman', a guy who drove around with a van full of films and games to rent (he would beep his horn a couple of times on a Saturday evening then people would come out to choose from his selection). He made it seem like I was getting a great deal, as Lillehammer Winter Olympics was actually 10 games in 1, and I was happy to buy into this narrative.

My mum found out a week later and completely lost her shit over it. She insisted he had taken advantage of me, which I refused to believe. I remember being super embarrassed when she confronted him about it, as I was surprised how hostile she was. In the end I had to swap all the games back again.

Your mum doing good work there, Noxy, not gonna lie.

There have been times when I have been drinking into the night....feeling like Superman. Woke up like Dobbie.

I bought an Amiga CD32 when that came out. I had been hugely impressed by the FMV games that I'd seen running on a Mega CD in Curries/Comet. I assumed that the CD32 would do them much better.

Of course it turned out that FMV games were shite and very few were even ported to the CD32 so I could hardly have been more wrong.

Not as bad a choice as my mate's. He plumped for the Philips CDi despite my advice to the contrary - the most odious pile of shit I have ever experienced.

Ah the CD32...I was always jealous of owners of that. I thought the joypad looked space age. (I had an Amiga 600).

Which brings me to my wrong moment. I sold my Amiga and games collection for money to put towards a SEGA SATURN. I sold my Amiga via an ad in the local newspaper and I sold it for less than I should have. I shouldnt even have sold it though, especially for a Saturn. I remember when the PS1 came out and I just said oh shit.

I swapped my multi region RGB mega drive with ten stone cold classic games for a super famicom with final fight

I was fucking right wait wrong thread

Howdy, Stranger!
