Modern Classic | Modern Classic Vlog: 40 Years of Video Gaming @ModernClassic | Uploaded October 2017 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Warning! This is a long one, and it's mostly just me. Hopefully you like to hear me talk as much as I do.
"Just play the damn game and enjoy it", or alternately, "Old Man Yells at Cloud". 2017 marks my 40th year playing video games. I was playing video games before many of you were born! I'm old! But I'm still a gamer, and I play games both new and vintage.
In this video, I reminisce about my early days in gaming, my "peak gaming" era of the early 2000's, then talk about how I've changed, how the industry has changed and how gamers have changed. Some of these changes are good; others are not.
Now get off my damn lawn!
Sorry about some of the soft focus in some parts - I thought I had locked focus but apparently not. This is an unscripted video so I thought it better to just leave things as they were than trying to re-shoot.
