I have no idea WTF yall are talking about re: modern "couch co-op" games and the "fun" being gone

If it's a family event, a friend's ski trip, or just a random dinner party, I have had crazy fun times with hardened gamers and casual gamers alike rocking same screen co-op.

This is pure speculation, but I think nostalgia for retro games has as much to do with age as it does with the games themselves. As we get older, it becomes increasingly rare to truly "lose ourselves" in a game. Look at anyone in their 40s-60s that collects something... what do they collect? Something they loved when they were 10-15 years old. It's all based on Nostalgia.

Maybe I should be grateful that all I had was pong and Mattel electronic football. Don't have a lot of time for gaming nostalgia if I felt it regardless. And I don't know what it says that my favorite Halo game came out when I was 46.
