i think i got a good year for gaming but not for culture in general. being a few years older, born in 1980 so all your teen years were in the 90s is better. but i was 14 and had no friends when the one great golden age of pc gaming happened (1996-2001 was the golden age) so things could not have been better. those were days in gaming that glow in my memory

WoW was a good game if you liked EQ style MMOs but I can understand the hate from people that don't like that kind of game

probably 1984 because you could be a kid during the NES/SNES era, be a teen during the N64 era, go to college during the PS2 era, and then have a real job and be too busy and grown up to play video games during the Xbox 360 era, where gaming died

a lot of wrong goons here but this guy gets it. the soviet union collapsed, i was born, having a loving old NES as my first system, then being the coolest kid ever for having a playstation 1 and my first pc game was mechwarrior 2.

it's what they called homeroom at my high school. supposedly the teacher was there to advise us, in reality she was never there and i put doom 2 on the computer and spent the year playing that instead of doing useful poo poo.
