Believe me,in my neighborhood when I was a kid,you HAD to be good at games like Ratchet & Clank or Rayman if you wanted to be seen as cool

the world has become so backwards over the last decade.
Vampires are for angsty teenage girls, Ponies are for Internet savvy men.
First Person Shooters are for faggot 12 year-old british kids, retro titles and pretty much anything from Nintendo’s golden age are for skilled gamers.

disclaimer: i'm generalizing. don't get your jimmies in a bunch.
