Shes using some type of gum, its like think quit or something.

As long as i can remember shes wanted to stop smoking (shes a health nut). When i was in kindergarden she quit for about 6 months and then started again. Between then and now shes tried quit a million times but after a week or two she always started again. Then she got this gum from her doctor in october and shes been smoke free since then.

The room is oozing with nostalgia, let me take a journey into time right quick. Let me see here, there were lots of awesome games on the C64 but i loved Boulderdash, Into The Eagles Nest, and Defender of The Crown my favorites three games all time. As for the A2600, i love pitfall, Combat, and Missle Command just to throw out a few of my favorites. To all the old farts in the room(including myself), remember that old school kicks new school ass.

Defender of the crown kicked ass I agree. Did you ever get the chance to play starflight,shadowrun or x-com ufo defense? Those were some kick ass games too.I could go on all day about the wonderful times I have had gaming. You know out of all the addictions I have had this one has saved me alot of heartache and legal bills! Plus no hangover in the morning! I would even go so far as to say that gaming actually saved my life. If I was doing half the stuff now that I was doing when I was younger I can guarantee I wouldn't be here today.

I was talking to Wes last night and I told him to guess what games me and the wife were playing together on my second 360. When I told him Mrs.Pacman and Tetris he totally agreed that they were kick butt games still to this day. You know I love beautiful graphics as much as anyone else but if the game has a nasty controller scheme or no gameplay value then what is the point? Give me a so so graphically game that has a good controller scheme and gameplay over a pretty game anyday. Now don't get me wrong every once in a blue moon you get beautiful graphics with a beautiful controller scheme that has awesome gameplay like COD4 and it makes the world a much better place. Too bad other companies haven't caught on yet.
