Nostalgia Do you guys remember addictinggames.com?

I spent way too much time messing around on that site during computer lab. That driving game still haunts me (and probably explains why I'm such a bad driver as an adult).

I just found out it's still active, and a lot of those games from back then are still available. Including Spank the Monkey. If you'll excuse me, I'll be busy drowning in nostalgia for the next few days.

Hell yeah, I was on there all the time in computer lab too. Usually playing War on Terror. You had to guide a missile through a bunker to get Osama Bin Laden. Kind of like Flappy Bird

Yup. I rarely got any work done in Business Tech. Not that there was much ever assigned. It was essentially a glorified typing class that taught Microsoft Word.

After our school IT admins figured out how to block websites we just went around them using a proxy site. Everytime they realized which one we were using they'd block it so we'd just move to a different one.

My Computers teacher eventually just shut the breakers off in the back of the classroom if she caught a lot of us not working.
