Out of the Blue

Just in time for all these E3 movies, my cable bandwidth was quietly upped, and I am now getting staggering 31 Mb/s downloads, close to 4 MB a second. This makes it more apparent than ever that in this brave new internet world, my old 1.5 Mb/s connection probably doesn't even qualify as broadband, as it was not really capable of downloading a lot of these clips, much less streaming them. Back in the day we had a joke about "Low Ping Bastards," but I think that's much too kind a description of the connection I'm currently enjoying.

We called 'em High Ping Whiners. 30K/sec was screaming fast. "Pings under a hundred?. No freakin' way!"

Remember when someone forgot the "/" at the console when they typed "ping", and there would be a race to type "titleist"?

Remember the spinning saw blade thingy when logging on to the TEN network to play Duke?

Back when TF2 didn't have transparent water? *sniff*, I miss you guys.....
