I do not know when I will next record an episode of the game under podcast, so I will say it here.
For many years, I wondered when the "inevitable" would occur. Video games reaching the echelon of Movies and Books (Capitalisation intended) in terms of the default acceptance of the general public.
These days I vascillate between the impression that video games have a chance of reaching the "accendancy" of comic books, but the possibility of ending up in the "train collector" category.
Is this hobby something on a trend to never transcend the concept of general play? Is the contributions of this hobby going to ultimately be, "there were puzzles, novels and cowboys-and-indians"?
My appreciation for the amount of time I invest in play has not dimished, but the more I think about it, Video Games are just another paragraph in the book of "play" and not a book in and of itself.
And now a picture of a man wanking, to illustrate the point...
(okay, not really).
That could be your Crysis 2 review: makes you question your life.
See you soon on Mario Kart!
BUT will you buy any games for it?
Oh man today was like video game day at work. Well that first lady was just casual talk, she liked mario , her kids played it and stuff. The last patient was a full on game nerd chick (for edge, she is a lesbian and NO, but that doesnt matter she is a great person). This was hardcore video game talk. She came in and was like "let me put away my 3DS" I was like WHHHHAAAT?! She was playing Zelda ALBW (the second time on hard, holy shit) so she instantly became a good friend. I rarely get to talk about video games so it was sweet to be able to do so at work. What an awesome day.
it comes with games, thank God. But maybe he'll trade them in.
Noel Coward. But your larger point abuot transient technology (due to the closed nature of consoles) is true.
It would be like a medium locked within audio casettes, then compact discs, then Mp3 files etc...
Fuck, now I'm depressed again.
Cave paintings however... still playable.
Yep.
To be completly honest, and I know how stupid I am, I probably wound not have bought a game. Because I spent $120 in petrol to get there and another $300 on some insulation I had to buy.
And I still dont; have a game for the PS4... so knowing all that, as much as I would have liked to have bought a game for it I would not have.
NOW... I did do my due diligence and went to three major retailers that were supposed to have had the deal. Only one of them had the Skylanders bundle and it was $300, not $200, so it was a no go.
