So I wanted to take a minute to reflect, not on what 2009 has brought to the gaming table, but on what this current generation has ushered into gaming, and discuss on whether it was going to bring better or worse issues to gaming.  We've all been there - comfy chair, cold beverage and a bag of Cheetos on the end table all ready to settle into a night of fragging with our friends.  There's nothin... more.
