Who didn't play this game at school? Remember to buy as many bullets as you can!

The game still holds up. There's a Facebook version that's decent, but the original is pretty awesome.

A Facebook friend of mine just shared a post with a picture of a car On the freeway and basically said that this guy is the creator of the Oregon Trail video game and he’s a total jerk when he drives and actually quite dangerous and has been reported to the police. As I read that post I thought of another recent post where someone shared a picture of a girl texting as she was driving. It made me think of the movie the circle with Tom Hanks, A movie which had some very real red flags about the way were using Social media. (I think Apple somehow got a hold of the movie and made the ending stupid So we wouldn’t think of that company as evil). Anyways, it just feels a little scary to me that someone could not like the way I drive and then share it with hundreds and hundreds of people.

Hahahaha. Yeah.

I guess that's the fear for people that have a certain kind of fame that any kind of perceived slight could mean someone says something bad about you. I remember a few times online people on forums say this or that celeb is a total jerk when what they describe it just seemed like the person didn't want to be bothered in the moment. Which I can totally understand, sometimes people just want to go to the store and buy a candy bar and just have it be that.
