Are you actually good at video games?

I used to play the toughest games like Battletoads, the Adventures of Bayou Billy, Vagrant Story. and Ninja Gaiden (nes) and actually beat them. There was no game that I couldn't beat. People used to bring games to my house for me to beat. I even rode the wrong school bus once just to put some kid in his place in two player Tetris for the Gameboy.

Like you, some place along the way, I lost my edge. I think it's a combination of having too many games, losing my virginity (the downfall of Mike Tyson), and simply getting older. I suck, now. And people on Xbox Live and the PSN are more than happy to show/tell me exactly how much I suck!!

Yup! sounds like the old me. Beating games left and right that some others I knew could not. I actually tried playing Ninja Gaiden NES a little while back and I was getting my butt handed to me. In some aspects I am glad they are harder for me because the games last longer, but on the other hand when I am stuck in places on games I get upset. The most recent games I have had problems with are WiiWare games such as Gradius Rebirth and Contra Rebirth.
