A farewell to video games (for the most part) |
|
|
For the last few months, I have been in a state where I was bouncing from game to game, not really able to stick with any one in particular. The stack of perhaps 30+ PSP games stands testament to this. I have come to realize that with very few exceptions, I really have come to hate games.
I am at a stage in my life where sitting in doors and doing nothing but playing in some virtual world just no longer appeals to me. I feel there are so many more things to do. Sitting down and losing a day because I needed to get just a little further in <insert game here> has lost me so much, and has made me into a recluse at times.
I do not think there is anything wrong with games, but if you are reading this and you know you are addicted or think you are, find more things to do. Read, write, become a magician, hang out with friends, just do something.
Tomorrow as I go sell my 5 systems and numerous games at gamestop, I will reflect on all the time I wasted on games that truly did not matter, while remembering the time spent on those that did.
Happy holidays to all you gamers and non-gamers alike.
