I accidentally use the word "nifty" every now and then. I picked it up from my grandmother. @__@
"Oh, thats a nifty little toy ya got there!"
"-__- what are you, 60?"
And sometimes when i talk to younger gamers i feel really old >.>;
"Back in my day, CoD only had 12 weapons. And half of them were copies of each other."

I'm one of the few lucky 20-21 year olds who actually got to use cassette tapes, VHS's, and even a floppy disc. I've known the joys of a vinyl record and remember playing Wing Commander Prophecy on our family's first computer. Shit, I remember playing through and beating Kirby's Adventure on the NES and thinking it was just the absolute best thing ever (and it totally still is).
And yet none of those things make me feel old. You know what DOES though? When I reference The Tick (SPOOOOON!), Reboot (Alpha Numeric! This is bad...really, really bad) or Beast Wars (Oh this is good, yeeesss...) and absolutely no one around me gets it except for my dad and his friends.

I swear they get shorter and stupider every year, I first noticed the shorter part in 3rd grade when most of the 5th graders were easily 5 foot or taller but when my class was in 5th only a few of us were 5 foot or taller. The stupider part wasn't until middle school.AlAaraaf74 said:
I feel old whenever I remember when there was almost always something good on TV.
I'm only 19, but I'll be damned if I don't feel like I'm at least twice that sometimes.Shawn MacDonald said:

But it's the good kind of old, not the "I'm going to die soon" kind
Hey I remember those. Used to have The Oregon Trail on a blue one.Regnes said:How about this?TopazFusion said:
Great, now I feel older having realized I actually used the original floppy on a daily basis.
OT: Having a niece in University.
I feel old when now that I'm going back to school. being one of the oldest people there is a weird felling. That and my jokes are based in 80's early 90's references. some of these kids have never even seen Captain Planet.
I don't really feel that old. Except when the occasional treasured childhood TV show gets referenced or is playing. What usually follows is me bitterly eating some sugary snacks and then getting mad at my sister for watching things like iCarly, and, uh, what's it called...uh...huh. I don't know, it's some terrible show about a hollywood art school and a bunch of teenagers, the kind where laugh tracks play every 4 seconds or after someone breathes.

Probably the fact that I'm balding. I also read legal documents on a regular basis, and actually have to file taxes now.
Eh. I already beat you there, but I had a little bit of a head start. This site makes me feel old looking at the average age of people. On here, I'm positively ancient having learned to type on a typewriter and having a VIC-20 for my first computer. Then I look at one of my gaming groups and realize I'm the youngest one of them and feel like a little kid. I go back and forth between 40-year-olds and undergrads/high school kids in my different gaming groups, while I'm in the middle. It's kind of funny and keeps me on my toes.Treeinthewoods said:
