Don't worry Jules. At this rate, we'll be jumping ship to survive over here. I'll drop by Philly in my quest for the Pursuit of Happiness.

... Yeah, don't even ask.

I don't even remember who the blue guy is.

I have that Batman. I recently painted him black and turned him into Terry McGuiness. Before that, I had taped him up into Alpha 5. I had that Spider-Man too. He was from the Animated Series. No Masked Rider, though.

Oh, perhaps 3D TVs. I don't need one. I'm perfectly fine with HD and don't see why anyone would want to sit with 3D glasses infront of their TV. *shrugs*

Are you kidding me? I still don't know why anyone would want an HD TV, videogames notwithstanding. I still use an old SD CRT.

Adam and I have talked about this before, but it's never been so apparent to me as it is now. It's fucking weird when people you went to school with start reproducing.

I checked my Facebook this morning and saw 5 status updates from old friends from high school concerning either the impending existence or the current existence of their child. That's just... crazy shit man. People I fucking took geometry with like 4 goddamn years ago are now creating new creatures that will be taking a geometry class in about 14 years.

That thought just feels so strange.

And I feel either very old or very young. Old for obvious reasons, but young because of how small the 19 year age difference between me and that new being is compared to how large a full human life can be, or how infinitesimal that is compared to the rest of life on Earth.

(I feel so Zerim in this post.)

And then the effect is compounded when they have more kids.

I own a cheap plastic comb that is older than my sister.

My sister isthirteen.

increasing resolution allows you to have more stuff going on onscreen, and additionally a widescreen aspect ratio feels much more natural in 1st person games. It also allows the in-game HUD to be smaller, reducing clutter. There are really so many reasons, if not aesthetically then at least just technically it allows modern games to function, imagine running MGS on PS1 in the NES's resolution, (256x224) it just wouldn't work. Same with running modern games in 480p, it doesn't work without resulting in poor gameplay and blurry text. Considering how cheap you can get an HDTV for now, there's really no reason not to buy one.

The only reason you shouldn't get a 3DTV (yet) is that the tech they use to produce a 3D effect is awful, it makes the image too dark to even see clearly no matter how you do it and, in my case at least, it causes serious eye-strain, not to mention the clumsy glasses. If they could bring the 3DS's method over to large televisions it would be great though.

edit: i'm starting to think the reason most of you guys are so cynical towards modern games is that you're still using Analog televisions! I tried playing RDR on an analog TV once, it was hilarious. I couldn't even tell what was going on on-screen.

I had the PS3 on my Full HD monitor originally. I had to downgrade and, while there is a difference, it's not enough for me to give a toss. I only have a problem when essential text is on-screen.

You'd be mistaken, I have a nice, huge Sony Bravia LCD(with Bravia's Sony device interacting technology! I can control my PS3 and my BluRay/DVD player from the tv remote, and adjust settings, and do more than just scroll around).

I have a smaller HD-capable TV in my bedroom hooked up to the Wii. Don't be mistaken, it's us older generation that are buying the majority of this new tech, and helping it be adopted. It is CHEAPER for you, for each one of us that adopted early. We're the ones (24+) that have finished college and have nice salaried jobs.

I think 3D is shit because it is no further than it was in the 80's when I was a kid. it is still a cheap gimmick effect and hurts your eyes/head if you use it too long. THIS MEANS IT IS STRAINING YOU. I won't fuck my eyes over just to see in "3D".

Also, I saw John pop up about the 90's. Shut your trap, you've lived MORE of your life in the new millennium than you did in the 90's (which can eventually be said of all of us, but with how young you are it's a statement). To be further clear, you were barely aware of most of the 90's, either being a sperm or being a small child/infant.

You missed my point. I thought the 90's are cool. There's nothing wrong with being born in the 90's. But crapping in your diapers throughout a good part of the 90's you were in, not being born yet, or being a very small child (kindergarten or younger) kind of eliminates you from all but like the remainders of Gumby, some Mr Rogers, etc. What you get in the early 00's is just the remainders of it as far as toys or media, mish-mashed with completely new shit.

Hard to have nostalgia when you weren't even aware.

I love how all of these nostalgia conversations devolve into "oldfags vs newfags" rabbles. It's like a competition for who's been alive the longest to remember how awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was.

To be concise, my point had nothing to do with comparing generations or comparing anything really. It was about how it must be difficult to have a 90's nostalgia when the majority of your young period and life in general was in the 00's.
