The fact that I'm 21 means some stuff in my life happened a decade ago. Its only 10 years but the word "decade" makes it sound a lot longer. Thats a little depressing. Also heavy smoking, drinking ale and eating crap makes me physically feel about a decade older than I am. My dad bought a Wii fit the other day and I dare not try it out for fear of being physically older than a 60 year old man.
21 years old. Seeing my neices and nephews makes me feel old. My family has a history of probably the worst knees that have ever been burdened upon a poor soul, so when I kneel for 20 seconds and standing up sounds like the beginning of WWIII that makes me feel really old.
I'm 19 and a random kid at the local McDonald's walked up to me and started pulling my coat yelling daddy, it was kind of cute but it did make me feel old. Apart from that I have back problems and the stamina of an 80 year old smoker with a collapsed lung breathing through a straw, neither of which bother me because it hardly matters when you sit on your ass all day long.
Remembering the original gameboys and how cool they were, buying pokemon blue when it was fairly new and all the rage.
Renting vhs tapes and the impatient waiting while rewinding to watch again from the start.
When mobile phones started to become common and being jealous of people with ones with colour screens.
Playing wonderboy or echo the dolphin on the sega master system.
Installing games on the computer via several floppys and running the command prompt in DOS.
Using my 34cm tube tv and thinking it was the best and that it came with a remote!
Tamagotchis
Waking early on school days to watch the first few seasons pokemon and dragon ball z as they came out.
Getting excited to use the school computers in the library and getting to play the goosebumps game on cd rom.
Thats about all i can think of right now.

Nope, just lots of funny stories about everyone else getting old.tippy2k2 said:
I'm still in my childhood
Bear in mind that I am British, so some people might not get some of these -
- I see Freddos at 17p and remember the time when they were 10p.
- Penny Chews were a penny. A PENNY! NOT 2-5 PENCE!
- Curly Wurlies were big. And I mean, big.
- Lord of the Rings was released 10 years ago
- The Harry Potter series finished 5 years ago
- I still remember when countries had their own currency before changing to the Euro. That was in 2002!

I'm in my 20s and I tend to detest a lot of high school kids.
Also, I went to get a drink and I wasn't carted. THAT'S when you know you are old.
On a side note, many people have mistaken ME for being a high school student, so yeah, not being carted at my age was kind of a shocker to me.

I constantly defend my older sister that Mastermind is still a great quiz show, it's been around for 40 years or more, and I'm 18.
I also remember watching Thomas & the Magic Railroad when I was 7, god I'm old.

I've only recently turned 18 and I feel the same way.Redlin5 said:
Most of my feeling old comes from seeing how kids (of any age) are these days. It's quite disappointing in a general sense.
[small][minor edit:][/small] I've also used the phrases "back in my day," "I remember when," "when I was their age" and any other variant thereof in total seriousness.
all the major gamming icons?
yeah ... I'm older then all of them, even Mario -.-
the only gaming 'character' that's older then me is the fucking paddles in Pong.
that makes me feel old

16, nearly 17, and I'm broken. I'm tired half the time. I saw a 5(?) year old kid walk by talking about jailbreaking an iPod, and that made me feel really old and out of touch. Eugh...
I just got a current gen system, a PS3, and the first game I bought? Off PSN, C&C1, and Red Alert 1, the PS1 versions. OLD.

Because I live in south Carolina, whenever I see snow I don't say "YAY SNOW!!" I say "WHY IS IT SNOWING IN MARCH?"Hazy992 said:Whenever I see snow I don't go 'YAY SNOW!' I go 'oh for God's sake!' I'm 19
Yea, crazy weather down here.
OT: I'm really young, yet I think all kids are shit, all new musics is shit, etc.
