After so many false starts, Hepting and I are back into comics as Kapow Block! https://t.co/NTUpUw0PXc . First comic is up now! Slackerz and Goobs comics are also up! Please retweet!

I've been blessed with a viral post! Makes me think about what to post on here in the near future. What would you guys like to see from this account?

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@TaliaRinger @Darentei Right, I saw one for an early morning Toys R US black friday event - but I knew my parents wouldn't go for it.

14 year old me, calling the Nintendo Power hotline, before Google was really a thing: how do u catch mew in Pokémon?

The grown woman working at the call center: Mew?? You cant catch Mew! You spent your parents money on this?! ($1.99, chill lady)

me: 😢

@ErikCanady You're 100 percent correct, sir. Ollld. The OG Pokemon is nearly 30 years old. A lot of stuff taken for granted these days simply wasn't around. We relied on what the TV, magazines, schoolyard rumors and the "uncle that worked at nintendo" told us and had to make do!

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

Might as well share the video! My daughter was with me during the special moment. ❤️

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

And yes, the story is real. I promise. I have no reason to lie, I'm not making a dime off this tweet.

Believe it or not, sometimes the person you talk to at a call center can be a jerk. Maybe I caught her on a bad day. Thats the way it goes. 🤷‍♂️

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@Radical_Ed Maybe its just the nostalgia talking - I feel like the 2006 internet was a little more chill than this. Maybe it was better compartmentalized and now its all in one place.

It was better back then - straight up. 😎

@MyBossSaid_____ OG Blue! Im gonna work through getting all 151 then I'll port the save file to my laptop.

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@FingersJim54816 @ScreamTailWaifu I know, I'm joking.

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@Johndl1987 Altavista didnt have the guide back in '98, otherwise I would have! By the time the glitch was known, I had already moved on and hadn't thought about it until I got the interest to play.

A few of you think I made this up to get internet points - I promise I didnt. 🤷‍♂️

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@Derek_Rumpler I should have considered the Game Genie, but I didnt like the concept at the time. I wanted to do it the right way.

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@Daemonised I wasn't aware of Gamefaqs until after I moved on from Pokémon. Maybe it had it, I dunno!

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@phlogistonmade I swear, it happened. No reason to lie - Im not in it for the algo. 🤷‍♂️

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@TimTimboFL She could have, that's what I'm saying!!

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@DragonFairyX1 I used the Mew glitch - the kid with the slowpoke past the nugget bridge and the gambler near Lavender Town.

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@ScreamTailWaifu She could have walked me through the glitch!!

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@lexsoul Thank you!

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@davidmill93 I saved my master ball for Mew Two. With this, I just used a great ball.

[Scott Smith @ss_slacker]

@Burrbradley1 Interesting! I saw an ad at Toys R Us to get a mew at black friday, which led me to believe that I could catch it.
