World of Warcraft Will Make You Feel Ancient

In my day, I regularly encounter the truth that I am a crumbling edifice, held together only by equal parts iron will and gypsy curse. Maybe some duct tape. Now, thanks to the invincible MMORPG juggernaut, World of Warcraft, it’s possible to make the rest of you gamers feel right and properly old. Blizzard’s cash cow World of Warcraft launched in 2004. It’s almost 2012. That’s eight years. A trip through primary school. A college career with multiple PHDs. A childhood. Care to walk down memory lane and see what else was big in gaming around those ancient days of 2004? Kotaku has the story.
