    I was just a little too old to ever have found interest in club penguin, but watching this video does still bring me nostalgia for the pre-social-media era of the internet. Those were simpler times..

    Those images of "the family computer" especially hit home, and reminds me of all the time I'd spend playing Diablo 2 in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep (and getting caught a fair few times by my mom) because the computer was in the middle of the house and also required dialup, so it was the perfect time to play while no one was around to kick me off to make a phone call or tell me to "get off those damn video games" :)
