Game Over

Imagine selling your entire collection of games and systems for a fraction of what you paid for it, ignoring the newest hot game, and being unaware of the launch of the next generation. Living life as if video games don't even exist...

I don't think I could do it.

I sometimes feel as though I could though. It's usually when a drought has lasted more than 2 months in my lab. I try to go back through games I've played in the past, but they can only keep my attention for so long. My brain needs something new to stay interested.

That feeling lasts until the next hot game comes out. A game that makes me forget that I exist on this planet. A game where the only thing I want to do is be in the lab exploring the world I'm consumed by. The feeling I get when I'm playing the latest great game makes me forget about the drought that occurred, and all the crazy thoughts I had with it. It makes me feel like a kid, it's really something special.

Who knows maybe games will help me avoid a midlife crisis in the future...
