I'm getting old boys. While I was at Disney the past few days I had several observations that made me sad. That made me feel like I'm going to miss what's about to come next.

1. For the last three years I've brought my 3DS and I've always managed to get a few streetpass meetings. This year, none. I didn't see any kids playing a 3DS for that matter. Just lots and lots of tablets and phones.

2. While at Disney we I spent some time in a couple different arcades across the properties. All of the new games, are basically giant mobile games and most of them used vertical screens with the same dimensions of an iPhone. They had a big Doodlejump game, a big Temple Run game, and a big Fruit Ninja game. They even had a new Pac-Man, but it was on a vertical layout screen.

3. Amazon was giving away $220 in apps on their digital app store. Most were uninteresting, but Terraria was available and I'd wanted that for a while so I grabbed it. After installing it, I couldn't figure out how to play it. The game didn't have a clearly marked controller set up. My son asked if he could given it a try, and within 30 seconds he was playing the game. I was reminded of Christmas 1987 when I got my NES. My dad hooked it up, but he wasn't able to figure out how to work the controller when I invited him to play Super Mario Bros with me.

And just like that I turned into my father. I'm now the old guy who can't figure out a controller. Damn...
