Do you remember when you blew alot of money on an Atari 2600 and was turned of gaming for a long time.
Do you remember getting the NES and getting severely disappointed and selling it to kid down the street as the gameplay consisted on four buttons and waddling around a crappy 2D world with no fun involved.
Yeah, didn't get into gaming until Diablo 2, because the underneath that thin veil of Gold is the worthlessness of tinny brass.
EDIT: Also, remember when there weren't so many stuck-up snobs on the internet, saying it was better in their day when it really wasn't?
