THE INTERNET on April 4th, 1998.

"One day almost 13 years ago I just decided to fill a VHS tape with me
using the internet. I've edited out a lot of even more boring bits of
this video, you're not missing much. I've uploaded this to show to
friends, but it'd be cool if more people find something they enjoy here.

0:00 I visit #3dfx on IRC
4:17 I show off my old Geocities website
5:18 I check http://bluesnews.com for the latest gaming news
3:57 browsing the anime web turnpike
5:42 more #3dfx on IRC (plus a cool song I'd like to know the name of)
9:07 I go to IGN64.com looking up news on the upcoming Zelda64"

Same for me except I use SeaMonkey web browser which is based on Netscape, Mozilla, etc. I still use Winamp! I still use a lot of old stuff!

Dunno about you all, but my computer still looks like that. WinAmp and everything!! (Even an irc client, though so infrequently used now).

I'm impressed how closely Bluesnews still hew to their original design. Unfortunately that design is near-impossible to read on a 4k screen, but still...

I've been using bluesnews as my gaming news website since it's inception (back when it was a Quake 2 news-site). There may be other, potentially better alternatives, with flashier websites & more information or variety; but Blues is still the first website I visit when I hop on my computer each and every day.

To this day it still has that same simple aesthetic, though obviously tweaked and modernized.

Yep, it is still good even though I rarely go there these days due to lack of time and not gaming these days.
