We live in an astounding time. The internet, with all of its might, is holding us down and firmly penetrating every orifice of our day to day lives. Why, less than a decade ago, it was very hard to find out what Sean Bean had for breakfast, but now I need only check check the magic mirror in my pocket.

I got to thinking, what were your first major encounters with the internet? I remember a few of mine quite well-

First website viewed: The Stewart Little movie's website. I was 6

First online purchase: An Ecto-1 off of ebay.

First online game: Battlefield from Bonus.com. You can still play a copy of it here.

First forum: Mortal Kombat Online smile

First banishment: Mortal Kombat Online sad

First porn site: Like I'd let that happen again...


Some more firsts might come to me later, as I see what you wonderful folks come up with.

First website viewed: No idea, probably a website looking up how to catch Mew in first gen Pokémon without a gameshark lol (Which I finally figured out you can do via a glitch in yellow version like 10 years later)

First online purchase: SSJ4 Gogeta action figure

First online game: First game I ever purchased online/digitally was MK Arcade Kollection, and that was also the first game I played online I believe lol (I didn't game much in middle or high school outside of a few games, and I never played online)

First forum: First one I believe was TRMK

First banishment: I have not gotten banned from a forum yet

First porn site: I think it was called Big Wet Butts lol I discovered it in like 7th or 8th grade
In the late 90s, our school library got a computer network, and let us surf the net during lunch.

I was always looking for video game codes, and news. On Gamefaqs, I remember reading faqs for games before they came out here. The Japanese Pokemon Silver was so exciting at the time. And reading up on early MUGEN stuff.

Eventually, I came across a site dedicated to news about the, then upcoming, Deadly Alliance. Preliminary shots of Scorp VS MK3 Jax, and forum discusions on the older games were a good read for years, until I actually joined the site in 2004. MKO was the first forum I joined, and I`m still here.

I joined Gamefaqs for a while, posting on several game boards, mostly DBZ games, arguing canon, until I was banned for trolling random stuff(not bullying trolling) when we were bored between spurts of game info.

Way back in Junior High, in the library at noon, when looking for game sites, kids would trick you into going to a porn site, ``snes.com`` wasn`t about Super Nintendo at all....

Haha, future posts don't have to include this or adhere to any format. I just included that as an embarrassing nod for older users.

Don't remember if I browsed alt.games.mk first or the Videogames BBS on my parents Prodigy.net ISP, but it was around 1996 and I was about 8 years old. I couldn't tell ya my first website, but one of them had to be either GameFAQs or SegaSages which has been bought out so many times over; I think in some form it's IGN these days, but back then it was strictly a site for cheat codes.

mk.hotweird.com was also one of the firsts (now TRMK). Assorted HTML chats and IRC EFnet #mk3
