What’s a video store? ;)

I still frequent the video store!

@jackdohany from yesterday. I have trouble finding a place to repair them. Best Buy geeks don’t do it, any suggestions?

By the way, again why does that dude need to post some wierd counter every day?

Year long tally: 28 Nonsensical : 243 Realistic] Thank you Robb for today’s realistic and funny comic!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Very funny on many levels…. especially (as others have suggested) with the decline of the video/DVD rental store!

Video stores no longer carry VHS tapes.

That’s why there’s eBay.

… we still use VHS to tape a show to watch later. it’s getting hard to find blank tapes. but we can’t afford the latest tech, so we wallow in the Stone Age.

Seriously? That mother must have lived in a cave.

It’s true that each medium has its own unique benefits… VHS tapes let you stop somewhere and return at your leisure, DVDs eliminated most of the “worse picture over time” issue and removed rewinding as a need, and DVRs make watching recorded TV the easiest but can’t be brought anywhere else easily. I’m sure there will be newer advances in the future that remove some of the annoyances, but add new ones. ;-)

The skipping bit is too true! I always thought it was a big problem with DVD technology that VHS didn’t have!!

And who’s Popeye, Sport Billy, the bee maya and the Knight Rider?
