In response to Engie's Opinion, i have but a 3 word retort:

SUPER
MARIO
KART!

Funny thing is that hollywood is still pumping our film noir from time to time. Not anywhere as popular as it used to be however. Retro gaming however is more popular than ever and i even ran into kids who are into retro gaming on steam the other day. Seemed to know their psone import history.

Makes me think of the Avgn episode Christmas carol. Future spirit

Anyone else notice that Engie's face is different?

[url=#user_comment_127281]@Quinch[/url] Teenagers today! In my days, we didn't have a spellchecker on our web browsers. Either that, or at some point "Virtual" was changed to "Birtual".

You mean you actually have to use your hands?! That's a kid's toy.

[url=#user_comment_127205]@Dave[/url]: Teenagers today! In my days, we didn't have embedded subdermal transceivers. If we wanted to play games or have virtual sex, we used full body birtual suits!

I don't want to live in a world where kinect motion sensor shake your arms like a retard games are the norm.
Good thing I'll be dead when that happens, that or I'll kill myself.

[url=#user_comment_127010]@Serathis[/url]: Talking about the one in the second panel

I can see myself getting old an complaining: "Teenagers today! In my days we didn't had full body virtual suits. If we wanted to play games or have virtual sex we used our hands and imagination!"

Oh it's pretty much common to be blinded by Nostalgia - you just know that if we made a game with "old school difficulty" today, it'd be criticized for having hitbox problems, unfair difficulty spikes, expecting the gamer to be psychic or to be constantly looking back and forth at GameFAQs...

Your father is a hairy tentacle?

Makes me remember the days of Team Fortress Classic. Ya know we had YLW and GRN teams? Good times.

You mean you have to use your hands? That's a baby's toy!

You will keep your engi hands off my nostalgia, woman! I will not let you hamper with my love for the beauty of simplicity and difficulty I fondly remember of my younger days!

OFF!
MY!
NOSTALGIA!

New is not always better. Nor is old, or obscure, or Western, or Japanese.

@An Onymous: KINECT LOL

Whenever I play games nowadays I 'few' so like an oldgamer.

But you know what, it sometimes do 'few' good to be an oldgamer and not a console-kid.

Based on the way games are evolving, in the future we wont even be using buttons anymore. It's a good thing I actually like the classics.
P.S. New is not always better

I don't think it's as simple as one's tastes becoming more refined. Art in any medium - movies or games, books or music - is good or bad, regardless of age or origin. Over time you have a better idea of what you like and why, but when the nostalgia goggles go on, you DO look like an arrogant prick.

I got a nice Android smart phone and instead of playing all the games on the market that use Unreal I'm playing Super Mario RPG on an emulator...

Worth it.

@Vsevolod Kovalev: Try shining Forces 1 & 2
that was a great game

[url=#user_comment_127019]@Nikari[/url]: Windows 3.1? HA!! I had only D.O.S.! My childhood was filled with Prince, F15, Stunts, and Mixed Up ^^ ...(and Jazz Jackrabbit, good times)

Something that bothers me is the fact how everything is 3D now, even things that don't have a 3D gameplay. I wish we had more games with nice 2D like Disgaea...

I'm so happy to have an SNES Emulator and can switch to old school Super Castlevania IV time and time again :)

"I totally few bad for..."
Dude, check once again what exactly you tried to say

There has always been a divide between anime fans that only watch Subs or Dubs. This has nothing to do with age you goddamn Weeaboo.

I sort of know this feel,when it comes to games and anime... kids these days think dubs are acceptable, and it saddens me.

And in the future, people will still be playing NetHack. Who needs graphics?

Here's looking at you, kids.

PRINCE OF PERSIA
I played that on my school's Olivetti, Windows 3.11. That was one hot machine.

[url=#user_comment_127016]@isaac[/url]: nielsen my bad

Favorite classic movie, anything with Leslie nelson...if there is a better place after you die, I want him there

Favorite classic game, Mario rpg...just fucking awesome

Is that the original Prince of Persia he is playing?

[url=#user_comment_126930]@HitBoxMaster[/url]: You heretic! Scatman had a hat like that!

Never actually liked D&D, but am halfway through Phantasy Star IV (that's on Genesis). Also started Shining in the Darkness, but that's too little story and too much grind to my taste...

P.S. Peeped out of my 16-bit time machine. Saw X-COM the shooter coming. Sent it to hell.

I know how it feels man, every one I know thinks I'm weird for playing games like DOOM and QUAKE instead of Call of Battlefield: Modern Ops Brown Edition.

I am also stuck with playing old RPGs that use the D&D formula.
Played Planescape Torment through again last week.

I can't for some reason enjoy the story in most of these new rpg games as it seems to be pretty much secondary.
Witcher 1 and 2 were awesome though.

youre grammer sucks

If only I still had my Genesis. I remember the good old days of trying to beat Sonic 2 in one sitting in the basement, usually giving up between Aquatic Ruins and Oil Ocean zones. It was pretty epic how Sonic would chase after Eggman after Metropolis Zone though. Oh well, still have my N64.

If this ever happens to me when I try to get a generation to play QFG4 CD version, after setting it up, patching it, and all the hassle it takes to play that great game? I probably will weep in despair. Bastion comes close in feel, but ... Its John Rhys-Davies as the Narrator. You can't beat that

Nobody's disputing that new games are often good any more than anyone's disputing new good movies come out every year; the dispute is with people who instinctively reject anything which isn't throwing itself off the bleeding edge of what technology can do simply because it's old.

I really don't resemble this sentiment. Sure, I still love playing 8-bits and watching old movies, but I enjoy the newer stuff as well. I have just as much fun playing League of Legends as do when I play Ocarina of Time, although for different reasons.

That hat is ridiculous

The more things change...

seconded

first? too bad I have nothing relevant to say
