How old do you feel now?

I guess you guys really are "that much older" than me.  I was born in 1980, so games like Sonic came out when I was 11.  I was THE demographic.  Games like Doom and Quake also came out when I was in my early teens, and they didn't really phase me.  Mortal Kombat was the only game I can remember ever that gave me nightmares.  And the nightmares only happened 1 night, and it was when I spent like 20 hours playing it with my friend during a sleep over.. I just dreamed that I was still playing, and that it was never-ending, and I kept playing the same moves over and over again.  I don't really understand all the controversy with the violence, etc.  When I played it, I knew it was just a game.  I didn't run around trying to pull people's hearts out of their chests.  Games now though are getting a bit too complex and real.  With games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Grand Theft Auto..yeah I can see where we need to be more mindful of our kids.  But like I said, back then I knew it was just a game.. now.. it's too realistic and the "veil" is very thin..  I think that's why I tend to play LEGO games, Pinball, and stuff like Final Fantasy.  Wow, when did I turn into my parents.  <_<
