Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.” Douglas Adams I've four more years before I start hating everything... yay!

Roderick Posted June 20, 2009 Not necessarily. By knowing this, you can now choose to do something about it, try to understand how it works and embrace change objectively (or reject it objectively, heh). Even old primates can learn a new trick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 20, 2009 You'll hate the games that make you cry on Level 17. Oh no! Hurry up, game developers... I need to cry within the next four years! (Rodi, you're right of course.

Roderick Posted June 22, 2009 I think it's all just a case of not developing neophobia, and encouraging neophilia. Embrace change! And the shadow! Dark lady, watch over you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
