N64 Retro, my tuchus.

I go all the way back to Home Pong.

You damned kids. Get off my lawn.

PS - Bonnie, the Kerek say “hello.”

Er, in the dorm lounges. Don’t know how that extra “room” got in there.

“Well, technically Dan, I’m 22″
I know, I did the math. I was born the same year as you, and I’m still in college (oh no, getting close to graduating!)

And your students were in a post high school program? I think they’re the wierd ones. I’ve seen this year’s Freshmen break out an NES in the dorm room lounges every so often.

I didnt realise you were that young. N64 does not make you old Atari 2600 makes you old.

Well, technically Dan, I’m 22 (oh no, getting close to 23!), but I hear you. Like I said, I was only a few years older than my students–who were in a post high school program–which makes it all the more ridiculous.

You’re young enough to be a college student. How does that make you “old” again?

Ahh, it happens. Almost my entire list of favorite games ever(http://fulldecc.livejournal.com/174187.html) would be considered “old school” games (Playstation 1 or before). I’m sure a lot of that is because they are games I grew up with, but still I consider old games more fun because of the “pickup and play factor”. Due to zero loading times and the uncomplicated nature of those games, they’re great to play even if you only have 5 minutes to spare.

As Guns’N'Roses once said “if love is blind, guess I’ll buy myself a cane”. So if liking and playing old games makes me old, I guess I’ll buy myself a cane.

Huh, I’ve never heard anyone here use either “vintage” or “retro.” So glad to know they work, so that the next time a French teenager calls me old I have something to retort with! Granted, they were my English students, so in theory they should have understood what I was saying to them in English, but that would require them caring :).

Also, I love writing A+. So A+!
