I traded a late 70's Ford Maverick for an NES when they first came out.  :applaud:
(That didn't hurt nearly as pre-ordering the original the sega cd)

This article made me feel like an old man.. hahaha
 I got the impression ( like many here apparently reading over the comments about it) that he was a younger guy who started gaming on a newer gen console ,is grossly uninformed on alot of his details and kinda over simplified things. At the same time it was  meant to be more of a humorous angle rather than anything of actual substance,so whatever. I didn't find it that funny,but then, I'm probably the wrong demographic he was writing this for...
I'd give him a C- overall for this attempt,and I want to emphasize "attempt", at an article (and humor)  :)


--- Quote ---Anyway, can't expect too much from a site like this; judging from the comments

haha this point is the reason for one of my main rules I try and abide by while browsing the internet, "never read comments on articles" we have managed to build this amazing piece of technological wonder to share an endless pool of information about pretty much anything you might need to know,but  instead its full of comments like " LOLol ur a faget ps3 0wns xbox!!11"
*sigh*
Turnarcades:
Sound like bitter owners of 'plastic crap consoles' to me, who probably can't afford an arcade machine build or thinks the height of gaming is talking on a bluetooth headset desperately trying to find girls in MMORPG's or war games, or wandering around aimlessly in a sandbox adventure where the only hand/eye co-ordination required is whacking it to a mildly provocative female sprite conveniently placed by the equally-sad programmers. If it weren't for arcades there simply would be no home scene today.

Kids eh? They know ---fudgesicle--- ALL.
mimic:
Guys stop stressing out (about being old or the kid not getting "it") The undeniable fact is we were "there" from the very beginning (of gaming,) we played it "all"!
