Elvis has left the building!

I thought I was the oldest gamer (Call Of Duty) but just recently discovered a player 73 years old. He's pretty dang good too!

I still remember where I was when we heard he was gone. In the back seat of my mom's car, with a buddy, headed to a toy store to get some chemicals (back when you could play with chemistry sets).

I was 12.

I really enjoyed AA until it became popular to the kids and they messed it up.

I leased a BF2 server for two years just after it first came out.

I still game a bit but with all the new games coming out requiring 64 bit, I'm left out with my 32 bit gaming rig.

I have a 64 bit rig.... but I don't think it can play many of the games anymore... Plus it takes up a lot of your time... I went through two relationships because of gaming.... lol But, it was worth it lol

Back to the King!

I was a kid and was staying at my grandmas due to my mom being in the hospital. She lived in the city and I was outside in the tiny backyard looking for something to do when my grandma came out and told me. I was so sad about it because I had learned to play many, many of his songs on my guitar. I believe I was about 5 or 6.

I remember he died at age 42 which was the same age his mother died I believe. I also remember talking to my mom on my grandmas big black dial up, corded phone and my mother crying about Elvis. Here she was in the hospital for nearly 2 months and her biggest pain was the loss of the kink.

He was supposed to do a concert in Hartford after that time and my folks had tickets. They saw him once or twice already.

Let's be real about this. No performer has ever come close to Elvis in terms of talent, presence, etc. Everything is just so different now and is just so dammed commercialized.

I think in 200 years from now there will still be Elvis impersonators in Vegas. Nobody will remember people like Justin Bieber.

Great topic. Brought back some memories I have not thought of in a very long time!

I tried to get back on track here. I've done all I could do.

Was really tempted though to reply to the old gamer post! I go back to Atari! Call of Duty was awesome! Wolfenstein, Unreal, Quake.. Man I loved those! Ok, I went off topic but too bad the king didn't get a chance to play many games back then. There I brought it back.

Ol' blue eyes disagrees.
