Old fart. :p

Yeah, ten years ago, I was 13 and in 7th grade. By which I mean I still was running a Win98 machine (not bad in itself) with system specs outdated by the standards of the day and an array of games from the "please just take these fucking things already" bin, plus Grandia 2 and FF7. Given the time of year it is now, I likely had also recently gotten a free fourth-hand PS1 and whatever games Blockbuster was selling for my hard-earned pennies, which, minus Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana, and FF Chronicles, were pretty much absolute shit.

The moral of the story is that when I have kids, I'm going to understand that video games and TV are not silly wastes of time distracting them from living a life of nothing but homework.

I'd say my childhood sucked, but I had FF7, Chrono, and Grandia 2, so it wasn't totally empty.
