Well guys on Monday I'm 50 years old. It's been a long fun gaming life! I know I have  not been so active around here, partly it's life keeping me from getting too involved. Partly I'm tired, I don't have the energy to get too emotional about gaming or making posts about gaming anymore. That question creeps at the back of my mind, "am I too old for this?"  No easy answers to this, I know I'm tired and my hands hurt, but I still love it. So no I'm still going to play, I'm not too old.

Happy Holidays  All!

PS  will try and be more active and relevant.  

1. Happy birthday!

2. Nope, definitely not too old.

3. We have our questions whether we should be playing or hanging around on message boards. No one is obligated to do shit here, and that's something I even need to remind myself for the sake of good mental health.

4. If you can afford it, have someone massage your hands. Holy christ I had that last night and for at least a brief while I felt like I was a teenager and could have done nothing but game and fap for hours on end. It was remarkable.

5. To get that last image out of your head, happy birthday again!

I don't think I'm too old to be here.  Hell, most days it's therapeutic.  I just need to remind myself not to forget about my life that surrounds me at times.

Packing my bags ... leaving tonight.  Going to go to Cape Town, South Africa for ten days.  My first time ever in the southern hemisphere and my first Christmas and new year's in summer weather.  (I know you Aussies are saying pffft, but it is a big deal!)

To everyone ... have a wonderful Christmas/Chanoocha/Winter Solstice or any other winter festivity of your choosing!!  May the new year bring you good health, love and happiness ... and all the great games you would ever wish to play.

Love

Happy Holidays. Have a safe trip and enjoy yourself.

Happy Holidays, Happy B-Day and Game-On, Beario!

^Good to see you around, Bear. The last time you got emotional about gaming was months of Wii U vitriol, followed by the most glorious honeymoon. So it's not necessarily bad if you've mellowed.

Did it end perfect?

Yes it did. The only thing in that game equal to the praise it received is that final cutscene.

Super rich world, they can do so much more.

That's the point, why ruin the ending of the last game when they can use that "super rich" world without those characters?

I never understand this, no one is going into the first game and altering what you played. No one is changing your memory. The ending will always be there, unless the next game is like "it was all a dream!" The ending remains untouched.

their lives don't stop there cause the game is over.

In Earthbound I got my full party I just was at Magnet Hill and I'm on my way to Pink Cloud.

This will be me at Christmas tomorrow.

Judging by your Mii, you are the waiter?  Sorry you have to work on Christmas, GG.

Happy belated Festivus everybody!

Happy holidays guys. I'm heading out to Disney for the family tradition. Be back in a few days, or possibly sooner once I start to lose my sanity and feel the need to use the wifi access at the hotel.

Gots my Captain Toad, now it feels like Christmas.

Also got my 360 audio adapter, and it works. Awesome.
