This arresting piece on McSweeney’s Internet Tendency starts off light and playful, but by the end the reader is hit with a huge lump of late-night, internet-fueled nostalgia. Perhaps it’s meant to be played for laughs, but I found it very moving.
Fantastic short story about nostalgia, old video games, and not always getting what you want out of your memories. The presentation — simple reading format, great images, and no visual distractions — is awesome as well.

Please allow me to take a moment to remind everyone that once at Icthus 1999 I talked Brad (FIF’s trumpet player) into leaving the band’s merch booth and joining me in the mosh pit of the small stage while Switchfoot played. It was epic.
