I played SWG at a friend house last night for the first time in a while. And an old Jurassic Park game on Supernintendo or Sega, can't remember which. But the intro video is classic! "Go. Go. Geeeeoooo!"

i received mario kart ds two days ago as an early christmas present. i'm 21. generally, games no longer interest me like they used to unless they're either completely unique and innovative (katamari damacy) or a major new nintendo game (i'm pretty excited about the new zelda). i'm also a huge fan of the metal gear solid series.
if you enjoy doing something then it's not a waste of time: tridenti loves playing games so they're not a waste of time for him, but redrum hates playing games so they're a waste of time for him. the sad thing is that most people don't realise this simple fact, or they ignore it, preferring to push their own opinions on others.

being too old for games just means you don't have time for them anymore.

It's interesting to see people using their Megadrives and NES consoles. I don't find the new stuff that enjoyable anymore, and am discovering various random SNES games at second hand shops which are great fun to play.

i don't really play many games these days cos they're all a bit crap or too involved. i want a simple game that's addictive.
i play starquake on my spectrum emulator a fair bit. and, of course, spyro the dragon on my psx.
games are also too expensive these days and I've got more urgent requirements of my money these days :(

Morning seems strange, almost out of place. Searched hard for you and your special ways. These days, these days.
Spent all my time, learnt a killer's art. Took threats and abuse 'till I'd learned the part. Can you stay for these days?
These days, these days.
Used outward deception to get away, Broken heart romance to make it pay.
These days, these days.
We'll drift through it all, it's the modern age. Take care of it all now these debts are paid. Can you stay for these days?

Hahaha, true! I <3 u
Yeah I think I still play games. And I'm of the crazy minority that think games like RE4, GTA, Shadow of the Colossus, Half Life 2, MGS and whanot represent the finest gaming achievements ever. Nostalgia does funny (and admittedly wonderful) things. Games are gettin' better, not worse, and there as much innovation as there ever was, people just have selective memories and rose colored retro-glasses on. And there's plenty of pick-up-and-play games out there if you don't have a lot of time, you just have to know where to look.
(of course I still play NES/Gen/SNES/MAME games on a regular basis, don't get me wrong... nothing will ever top NHL 94)
So yeah I still game. It's not as important to me as music, but it's not something I ever want to quit, it's a very rich art, multi-dimensional. Guys like Akira Yamaoka make music as compelling as anybody talked about on this board, and the art direction in games like ICO or Silent Hill is great by any standards. (stories in video games are the Achilles Heel of hte industry, though... there's much progress to be made there).
Video game girls are uniformly buxom, as well, which is a nice bonus.

OK that didn't show up. How mortifying. It was in bad taste anyway now that I think about it. GTA- New Orleans, what was I thinking?
