But of course. Who didn't? Man... 30 years since this came out. That just seems impossible to me. Getting old stinks.

It just doesn't feel like it's been that long since Contra first came out.

A very cool story about a "ghost ship" that sits quietly in a tributary of the Ohio River.

@Mr Magic not even the admins of the konami facebook page made mention of it. i guess not many people know about it.

What?! The ones who are running Konami's Facebook could use a wake-up call. The gun should change their minds. 

I'm no psychologist, but I'm skeptical of this explanation for the divide between Gen-Xers and Millennials. Sure, we are all coming to grips with our mortality right about now (if you, like me, are a Gen-Xer). But I don't take that out on anyone, or myself.

I think the perception that is referred to in this article is not just perception, but reality. I see it all around me. The sense of entitlement is pervasive in today's culture.

I might have ranted about this before but while Millenials get crap for drinking starbucks and liking alternative music the baby boomers destroyed the economy, the environment, and went against every "hippie idea" they conceived at Woodstock.
