Wow, Gaius, somebody's downvoting every one of your posts.

There's a big movement towards emulators among the gamer scene I'm able to observe, because a lot of gamers are realizing that games haven't become fundamentally better in the last decade. Yesterday evening at a friend's, the Wii was forsaken for a Genesis; it's surprising how entertaining those games still are, because we've been conditioned to think you can't have fun without being cutting-edge.

Touched a nerve I guess. Heck, I got 4000+ points, I'll call it like I see it.

You're right, we are conditioned to value the wrong things. The same game with more polygons is the same game.
