56: The Golden Age of the Internet (Late 90’s – Mid 2000’s) featuring Martin Reimer

By Ron "The Rental King" Avis on Thursday, January 24, 2019

Do you remember the first time you plugged in your computer to the information super highway? After 15-20 seconds of awful screeching you had the world at your fingertips! Cheat codes for Mortal Kombat 3, screenshots of Super Mario 64 and low-res images of Cindy Margolis. Anything you wanted, it was all possible online. It was the mid-to-late 90’s and the Internet was the wild west.

The BitGeeks talk about their first experiences, trends, viral videos and flash cartoons. Lots and lots of flash cartoons. Hey kid! Stop all the downloadin’ and get ready to laugh at what we all thought was so great about the golden age of the Internet. #BitGeekPodcast

I am your host to the left. In the ancient days when the stirring of the great volcano foretold the coming of the Cinemasters, I prepared the way by imbibing the forgotten lore of all things Cine-magical, hence I am the one who drinks. It is through my liquid merriment that I bind my talents to the other half of our intrepid duo to expertly craft the audio and visual wonderment beholden to the masses via the internets of old. By the secret wisdom handed to me through fluid consumption, our awesomeness is perfected like an electrical shock wave out of the tip of a unicorn horn directly into the aortic valve of your heart where the secrets of the universe are hidden. I am romantically entangled with a wondrous lady whom I call my wife. She has bore me the progeny of a son and a daughter and it is by this offspring that it is possible for me to be a Rad Dad. Everything seen and heard from the Cinemasters is by my hand.
