[SpleenBeGone]

I could have sworn it's been around longer than that.

[Jesse Custer]

it just FEELS that old. that thing is a fucking relic in gaming years.

The gaming world does move pretty rocket fast.
I thought it was older as well.

[SpleenBeGone]

Haha, I guess.

Remember, it was 1972 when Pong came out.
Forty years later and we are on the brink of having virtual reality games operated by a sensor suit.

We as humans tend to take a new thing and run with it like we are on genius fire.
Case in point, the Wright Brothers.
Their first successful flight was in 1903.
Pearl Harbour was attacked in 1941 by fighter planes and bombers.
In 1969 they put human beings on the moon.

We all know these things, but you never stop and think about the time span.
Sixty six years between the first airplane gliding for twelve seconds, and rocketing people to the moon and bringing them back alive.
That is less than one lifetime between events.

I shudder at the thought of what video gaming might become at this rate.
In relation, we are just over half way to sending someone to a virtual reality moon.

[SpleenBeGone]

Yeah, I know. The amount of technology and planing that went into these things is just amazing.
