A belated happy birthday to you, Claude. I hope a great day was had by all involved. I also hope I'm still playing games when I'm forty-five years young.
Old gamers are awesome. I remember back before Doom 3 came out, this dude in his 50's saw me looking at a magazine with pics in it at my local grocery store, and he asked me if I was looking forward to Doom3. I thought it was cool, happy birthday!
I am thirty three years old, and my first gaming experience was Pong, followed by the drop-jawed excitement of my uncle's VIC 20.
Let's talk about the good old days!
Bollocks. Games are amazing now. I'm currently hooked on Batman, my 2009 GOTY. It's how I always wanted games to be when I was a kid. You are absolutely right, it is a great time to be a gamer.
I'm delighted to see, as you approach the winter of your years, that you are in excellent spirits and your bone structure appears to be mostly intact. Perhaps, with luck and top-class medical treatment, you will get to see a Playstation 4 or Gran Turismo 5. Half Life 2 Episode 3 appears to be too much to ask for, however.
Happy birthday, Claude, and here's to many, many more! Enjoy your 2010, brother, because I get the feeling it's going to be a great year to be a gamer!
Capricorns rule, that's why. Ever since I was a young white boy growing up in the Southern United States, I found much respect for this man. He was born January 15, 1929.
Martin Luther King, Jr. My respect goes to him. Happy Birthday indeed. "
" Happy birthday, man! Enjoy yourself! I made you a bit of a birthday card as it were. The other pic of you didn't fit as well as this one, but it still looks hilarious.
" @oldschool: As it is sir, I left the Wii Defense Force. I wish to stay independent. You sir are the icon... a deity if you will, the "cult leader"... "lover of games." In my dreams, you keep the dream true, you keep it real. I'm just a muse. or is that amused. Ha! Fooled Ya!!! "
damn.. what you went through over the course of most of your life.. most young gamers today go through in a span of 1-5 years, before even reaching the age of 10. I know I did...take it to mean whatever you want.
Anyways, amazing story - thank you for sharing it. If only more games had the heart and spirit of games like Super Mario 64 these days...
