Substitute Teacher Blown Away By Longevity Of Computer-Lab Flash Games He Used To Play

A local high school substitute teacher has been left absolutely stunned by the fact that the kids in his class are still playing the exact same computer flash games he used to play when he was a kid in 2004.

Michael Yates (29), has been a casual teacher for a couple years now but was shaken up when taking his kids to a computer lab class that would inevitably end in the entire class playing flash games.

"I knew this class was an obvious right-off when I found out it was in the computer lab" explained Michael.

"What I didn't expect was for the kids to be browsing Coolmathsgames.com and Miniclip for flash games"

"That's still going? Jesus, it's been like 20 years!"

The sight of two boys playing the BMX flash game left Michael in a deep state of reflection of his own mortality.

"Life goes on but the flash games stay the same I suppose" Michael said in a somber tone.

He then spent the rest of the lesson quietly watching a girl struggle with the same Bloons Tower Defence game he once spent weeks mastering.

Another student asked him if he’d ever heard of a game called “Boxhead 2” to which he simply nodded, with a tear in his eye.

“At least they’ve got taste,” he muttered, leaning back in his swivel chair like a war vet recalling past battles.

By the end of the class, Michael had abandoned any hope of enforcing the lesson plan, instead joining a group of boys in a heated round of “Tanks”.
