used to call it love
a lot of things can change in ten years, right? i mentioned a few weeks ago that just ten years ago, spending all of your time on websites and playing video games was socially unacceptable... still a wild thought, BTW... anyway ten years ago, the winner of multiple wired vaporware awards, duke nukem forever, was announced. today a (rather unimpressive) teaser trailer was announced, and in joystiq's article they linked to another great site - a list of things that have happened in the video game world (and beyond) since DNF was announced.
it's quite a wild list - three console generations; the invention of the ipod; the filming and release of the entire second star wars trilogy, the matrix trilogy, and the lord of the rings trilogy; gas prices have doubled in the united states... they also list a few things that happened in less time than DNF's development - namely, WWII and the entire career of the beatles.
doesn't seem so long ago, does it? will time appear to move this quickly when i'm forty or fifty?
yes. it will. on sunday, i was 29. and on monday... I WAS 30!!!
where did that year go?
I don't know this to be true, but I've heard that once you've had children it goes by even faster. Hard to believe right?
Darren, that's caused by the lack of sleep.
It goes by so fast you can't believe. Why I remember ...
Love,
Dad
