Getting Old
Drimble asks: When was it last brought home to you just how old you're getting? We last asked this in 2004, and you're eight years older now. Eight. Years.

*click* eeeeeWAAAAAeeeeeWAAAAAAeeeWAAeee...
A little while ago, I was reading one of those "10 classic games of our childhood" articles. Being in an office full of gamers, the link inevitably got shared.
I have never felt so old.
"Manic Miner? You know, it's the one which plays In The Hall Of The Mountain King. On the Spectrum... alright, fair enough, what about Chuckie Egg? That was a classic... really? Oh right, fine, here we go. Number 1 on the list. You must remember Elite. Everyone remembers Elite."
I work with people who have been playing games since they could hold a controller who DON'T REMEMBER ELITE. People who are old enough to have jobs and houses and in some cases even children. Some of them have never known a game to come on any physical media other than a shiny silver disc.
