The internet giveth and the internet taketh away! No, seriously. It gave us My Space and Geocities then took away CDs and tapes and magazines and maps and our sanity. Our generation was there at the birth of the WWW monster that consumed us and left us with a pocket full of fiction. Join us as we laugh our way through Josh's blogs and cry with us as we mourn the demise of the Yellow Pages and the good old fax machine with its never ending roll of fading memos.What do you miss that the internet

Well, we've done it again. Recorded our mindless rambles about the good ole' days. It starts with what we were doing on August 31, 1984 and ended with how much money we'd have if we sold all our best Gen X memorabilia. It's not as much as you'd think. But if you remember grecian tone phones, Sony boomboxes or the Atari 2600 game, Lost Luggage then this one is for you.Your homework if you choose to accept it is to...Subscribe!

Once again, NO SPOILERS! We talk most things Fantastic 4 but we haven't seen First Steps yet! We are both fans of the comics and the few cartoons we got so we'll have to check in next week to get the ratings on the new movie! Hopefully it goes better than the fiasco that was the Superman episode. And the real story of the Fantasticar Christmas gift comes out!

The Gen X generation has a lot of collectors. And by collectors we mean, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Lego, and even Power Rangers. Like Josh, who started his collecting at the age of 10 with his first Micronauts! But it didn't stop there. Soon he would have amassed a 20 season Power Rangers collection alongside his Sailor Moon and Samurai Pizza Cat toys from Japan. For now, let's just focus on the Power Rangers, Transformers and Tyler's Funko Pop! collection.Check out www.thepowerdome.comLeave a question at
