Brace yourself, millennials, we are getting old. The evidence is right here on the 20th, yes, TWENTIETH anniversary of the “All Your Base Are Belong To Us” video. Yes, the one we all waited minutes to load on our desktop computers with dial-up and 56k modems and laughed at in the early days of the wired world.
