My kid asked which was the best year of videogames. I wanted to toss out something in the 90s when Sierra, Origin, LucasFilm, etc. were peaking…and 1990 could be a strong contender..

But damn, 2004 was huge in terms of influences still being felt today,

2007 was also a banger: Portal, Halo 3, Skate, COD4: Modern Warfare, Rock Band, Oblivion....

It really was the best time to be a kid with an xbox

I was in Discord playing WOW with a friend's group.  They are all casual gamers and not doing hardcore raiding or anything approaching that.

Anyways, one of the younger players asked me if I was using WASD to move around "because it's so obvious you're stuck in the past with WASD".

So apparently that's a fucking thing, because you know, having a little gray hair doesn't peg me as old-school I guess.

I told him I was playing Tribes, Quake, and Half-Life with WASD before he was born, and I have no intention of changing.

He seemed to think I was joking, but I basically had this expression.

Real talk.
