The Daily Hotness: Vintage thumbs up photo

Do you remember how awesome it was to get your first PC or console? Yeah, it was pretty sweet. You guys should post pictures in the comments of yourselves as kids with your early gaming rigs.

I wish I had pictures of myself as a kid with my first consoles. I still remember being baffled to find an empty SNES box wrapped up one Christmas, then seeing that it was already hooked up to the TV. My child mind exploded at the realization that Santa KNEW HOW TO HOOK UP VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS.

I would have to post images of my reincarnation getting a gaming rig as a child ...if it would even have opposable thumbs...or if I could obtain such images at all.

Then again, I could always doodle up such an image in a flash. Better yet, I could draw an image of a child who can transform into a gaming rig. But would it be pedophilia if an adult fingered that robot child's keyboard?

Looks like an aftermarket Speccy keyboard or some eastern-bloc knockoff.

There are unfortunately no photos of me with my ZX Spectrum, but I believe my Mum has a horrible picture of me playing NES with a slack jaw and an empty stare.

Unfortunately, the only Christmas pictures I have are where I'm just sitting in the floor in a onesie with crusty eyelids and cowlick from hell.. probably holding a he man/ninja turtle action figure.

My parents would have struck gold if a camera'd been handy the Christmas I got my Genesis. They had me open up a box with what seemed to be the Genesis, but instead, it was this genesis docking station hunk of plastic where you could fit your sega and a few games in it... My parents always had a habit of thinking they knew what I wanted and wound up getting me some knockoff shit they THOUGHT was the right thing. The look on my face had to have been pure, unadulterated disgust. I remember looking to my parents, thinking, "please tell me yall didn't just do what I think you did..."
