But I'll say 3 things: games weren't better back then, you aren't playing the right games for you and, finally, don't play new games just cos other people/your friends are playing them, play the ones you feel like playing, the ones you enjoyed playing, no matter how old they are.
On "games weren't better back then", I believe this pretty much sums it up;
I'm guilty of it myself; there are very few newer games I enjoy quite as much as I remember enjoying games I played as a kid (or playing those games today). Of course even going back now and playing said games doesn't incite the same feelings they did back then, I imagine due to not being my first exposure to said games/style of games.

^Also this. For example, the first Final Fantasy game I remember playing was 7 when I was 11 or 12 years old, followed shortly after by 8 and then later 9 (in that order funny enough), and then later 6, all within a few years. Fast forward 7 years, having long since lost the excitement and wonder felt playing a new final fantasy game, I discover FF5 (in this case, the GBA remake). I don't regret deciding to stick that rom on my PSP; to this day I still regard it as possibly the best in the series (or at least, of the 2D ones).

"I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"
