I was raised in the NES days. 8-bit graphics, controllers that hurt your hands, not being able to save, insane difficulty and short games.

I've seen every gen since the third and been very active. Right now (despite the leap in power) is a fantastic time to be a gamer!!

Right there with you.  I refuse to be blinded by nostalgia.  There have been so many positive advances to gaming over the generations that I can't imagine going back.  People forget about blowing into cartridges and wiggling them around, hoping that this time the game would work, or game-breaking bugs that could not be patched away, or how many garbage games were made.  I had fun back then, without doubt, but the improvements in technology have allowed game-play to evolve and grow.  For example, the first FPP games I played gave me a splitting headache and made me feel sick, now they're among my favorites.  

There are so many upcoming titles I'm looking forward to playing.  I'm pleased with where gaming is at right now.
