How To Convince Your Parents To Let You Get An N64

When I went back home for Thanksgiving this year, my mom pulled out a letter I wrote to my dad back in 1999, because he wouldn’t let me buy a Nintendo 64. They’ve said I should be a lawyer ever since. posted on November 29, 2012 at 12:25pm EST

Ah, memories.
I did this exact same thing, except for the first Need for Speed game for PC. Had to convince my parents that playing games on my computer was ok. So happy when they let me get it.

WordArt!!! Oh man, those were the height of my computer graphics during Elem & HS (and a little bit during college LOL). Made my school report a little bit more snazzier (or so I thought LOL).

I did this once in the quest for a Furby. I instantly regretted it since those things were creepy as FUCK.

Chopping wood and chasing rats probably didn’t help with your piano playing.. but I’m glad you got the N64.
