I have yet to meet this majority. Guess I go to the wrong places.
Well, there is no majority. I'm just saying, looking at percentage in communities and relative to population and stuff, I've found that Swedes especially are pretty big on retro things. But especially Commodore 64 related stuff. I think, if it wasn't for us, the C64 scene wouldn't have been half the size it is today as both
www.c64.com and the best online radio station EVAR,
www.slayradio.com were founded by Swedes. Many gaming magazines over here also seem to have a retro section or two where they talk about old games, or even remake modern games into C64/NES/Amiga mock-ups. At least the ones I find in the cafeteria at my school. I'm just assuming we're big on the retro thing as a whole, as it seems logical.
Ryona, don't worry about stuff. There's a ton of lonely nerds on here that let their brains go wild over the idea of a real female making suggestive remarks like that. Play your cards right, and you may end up the queen of geekland!
As for new years stuff... Meh. I've never done that. From the looks of it, I'll spend the countdown alone at home in front of the computer with the TV on in the background, and Animal Crossing: Wild World sitting next to the keyboard. I remember the first time I decided to watch the countdown while online... It was the beginning of the year 2000. I lol'd at all those people who thought my computer would blow up for being on IRC at the same time.
