Invert -- a buddy and me were talking about this the other day. Seems like younger people don't invert, and maybe the older gamers do. I attribute the invert to Bond on 64, haven't been able to go without it ever since.

I don't think it is older / younger so much as what they started with. I started playing console and joystick based games before there were inverted / non inverted settings. Arcades didn't exactly let you pick what you wanted. Once the transition was made to 3d, the up is up and down is down stuck. In certain situations where the controls are inverted, I don't have a problem with switching, but I prefer non inverted as my first choice.
