Mind if I ask how old you are?

You know what sucks about that too? Is in like 10 years, our kids won't play these wonderful consoles because the graphics aren't pretty enough.

Man, I remember the jump from Gen 6 to Gen 7 in consoles. And now I look back at it, it's crazy to see how far video games have come.

I love playing my old games (though I don't have any old consoles, most of my old games are either through Virtual Console or XBLA). Gameplay holds up really well these days.

No matter how "great" the graphics got, or how "cool" games looked, I have always loved my NES, SNES and 64. I only have a Wii to keep up with Zelda, and I have never owned or played an Xbox. I have just enjoyed the Nintendo gameplay and storylines better, no matter the graphics. I'm sure there are others like me out there. I just need to find them haha Big Grin

Where you movin' ?

Just another apartment. But to me apartments are just really expensive storage units that you sleep in.

I'd never thought of it that way, but you've nailed the proverbial nail on the head.

Fun story- yesterday my new dresser came in. I got one that actually called a "media chest" (apparently these are big things these days) It looks like a dresser but has two openings at the top instead of drawers (plus 6 actual drawers below them) so I was going to put my bedroom tv on top, dvd player and cable box in the holes, and clothes in the drawers. Well, it doesn't fit on the wall with the cable hook up and I had to rearrange my new room just so it would fit, and now I have to find something else to put on the cable wall before the cable people get there tuesday.

That's why my kid's first console will be a NES. No new console until they have sucked in all the greatness of yesteryears.

That's what I'm planning to do. Rather than let the kiddies get the latest 3D augmented-reality legit Super-High-Def Noscopez-machine, I'm going to give them a block GameBoy, then when they're six or seven, they can get a N64, then at 13, they'll get a PS2 and/or Gamecube. As a college/university present, they can then get whatever they want.

Flawless

I'm doing the same thing. I want my kids (if I have any that aren't cats) to earn and appreciate things like I do.
