SNAAKE:
showed my brother how I swapped the awful music from mvc2. he didnt seem to care at all. probably because he never played the game... :dunno

I can still school most of my little cousins on street fighter and platforming games, but yeah, those I haven't really been good at a first person shooter since Halo 2.

I got killed playing my niece and nephews at Mario Kart 64 when I visited them on a business trip. I secretly practiced the next 2 nights while they were asleep and was able to crush them on my last day there.
I felt terrible about it. :lol
My nephew seemed really interested about something he was playing on his ipod touch. I asked him what he was playing and for what seemed like the next 15 hours he explained to me every aspect of the game (something to do with growing zombies. Looked like some kind of undead farmville). Long story short - I was the eyes glazed over adult.

I think I can understand why parents and "old people" don't appreciate video games because many things that "normal people" do I just don't appreciate either.
Sports for example... grown men will drool over some "amazing play" and to me I'm just "meh". While it may seem impressive if you are a sports fan, to a non sports fan you look at the bigger picture and realize that someone has devoted their entire life to learning how to run a ball from one end of a field to another and yet people are amazed when they actually succeed at running a ball from one end of a field to another. ;)
I think that's where the lack of respect comes from. To us it's an immersive, complex interactive challenge. To them, no matter how complex the game actually is, all they see is a person getting excited about eating a power pellet on "the pacman".
