Things that make you feel old

I would love to have something like that nearby.

 

At least the Rock is finally getting this video game made into a movie:



That is sure to be cinematic gold.

 

Speaking of which, how did we ever get to a place in time in which the Rock is the biggest movie star.
Seriously.

 

High Scores Arcade

 

Donovan Caronna.

 

I have a child who loves Moana - I hear Dwayne Johnson's terrible singing daily - and the question for me is not so much how he earned $200M in his film career but how he got a role actually performing vocals.

 

I remember thinking the guys "owning" the pinball machines and arcades were gods, and suddenly two years later thinking they were losers.

Another thing that makes you feel old. Posting on a thread you realized you posted on three years ago.

 

An arcade bar opened in my hometown sometime last year. I've discovered that arcades are much more fun when you're half lit.

 

Wife is watching this is us. Apparently the dad died 20 years ago after the Super Bowl. Which was fine until they pointed out it was Elway's first Super Bowl win. I don't have many things that can make me feel old yet but that kind of did.

 

This week a few guys my age were elected to the pro football hall of fame. Damn. That made me feel old.

 

I felt old when I saw the AARP magazine with Bruce Springsteen on the cover, and that was several years back now.

 

Convo with the wife,33, and me, 40.
“I realized Justin Timberlake is 37. I got the first Backstreet Boys album when I was 12. How can you be older than him?”

“I may be older, but I know he was in N-sync.”
(Wife googles quickly)
“I’m ok with you being older than him now.”
