Sidewalk Surfboard Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We all remember the pre-2010 days, don't we? The days where the internet was simpler, and we were more easily amused. Post your internet nostalgia here. This one is damn nostalgic. I remember my sister forcing me to watch it like 10 times in a row back in like 2009 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troj Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I was a fan of Salad Fingers, Retarded Animal Babies, Beebo the Cat, Bitey of Brackenwood, Weebl, and a series whose name escapes me that involved interviews with a gravelly-voiced Grim Reaper damning people to Hell in humorous ways.

PastryOfApathy Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Shitty old sprite-based flash cartoons on newgrounds man, that was my shit. To this day waiting like 2 hours for one of those Mario vs. Sonic flash things to load on my shit dial-up connection is one of my most cherished memories.VG Directors Cuts was where the best shit was at though. Like for real, The Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom series legit holds up and literally made children cry.RIP Randy you rad motherfucker.

Azu Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Most of my nostalgia stems from old Newgrounds flashes from the early 2000s. Gosh, it was a different time on the net back then.

Onnes Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 The internet was an amusing place when shock images/sites were becoming big and most people didn't check URLs before clicking through. The utter lack of protection against malicious scripts made things even worse. Goatse still lives on as a graphical meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching that shit all stealth in 4th grade with an old friend was fucking great, mostly since we thought "Big Fucking Nuke" was the funniest shit.There was also another thing I remember loving I can't find, it was just like some stupid sprite flash that was just Tails and Luigi singing 'Numb' from Linkin Park.

Phausk Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Started my adventure in 2000 and constantly went to some Pokemon chatrooms and Steve's DBZ Chat, which was an old BeSeen chatroom which died in 2002. Also does anyone remember Joe Cartoon? Spent a lot of time on Newgrounds, then later went to a Sonic forum.I spent a lot of time in Highschool IT class browsing eBaum's. Then that whole thing with YTMND happened, which was glorious.Then I moved on to Second Life and 4chan stuff...I think 2007 was my favorite year. 4chan was raiding everything, there was a huge wave of Youtube Poops popping up, Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain) came about, Rick Roll was relevant, The Orange Box was released... Ah man, it was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umbra.Exe Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 A few of the Metal Gear Solid animations on Newgrounds give me quite a bit of nostalgia, especially Metal Gear Awesome. Reminds me of when I was back in middle school, and my best friend showed it to me. I thought it was hilarious, even though I hadn't played the game yet. It only got better once I actually played the game, of course.I think that friend was pretty much the one who introduced me to MGS in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysocyon Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) This reminds me, a few years ago I found an old Gateway CRT monitor by the trash in perfect condition. I took it home and tested it out, it worked great. I decided to play a bunch of old DOS games in all their scanlined glory to celebrate.I then had the weird idea to install Windows 98 on a virtual machine, got on the internet and went on the Wayback Machine to browse the internet and a bunch of websites and forums from the late 90s. It was such a strange, surreal, nostalgic experience that I actually lost myself in it for a minute.
