Yes I have, and thanks for noticing

Yesterday while I was working, a customer came in and started talking to me. He wasn't even really a regular. At least, not anyone who I recognized.

"Wow," he said. "You've been here for forever!"

"Yep," I said.

"I remember seeing you at the release for Modern Warfare 2!"

"Yes, I'm sure you did."

"How many years is that?"

"Three and a half, sir,"  I said.

"Wow," he said.

My first day at my job was Halloween, 2009. I wore an Aerith costume to work. No one recognized me. That's when I realized that my sort of gamer isn't in the mainstream anymore.

My only consolation is that The Veteran worked the release for the original Halo.
