Although it’s been several years since I actually bought anything really cutting edge in the world of video gaming, I still manage just barely to keep abreast of new developments, mostly in order to shake my head and lament that games aren’t like they were “back in my days”, which sentiment is probably far more a function of my imagination than an accurate reflection of reality. In any case, I doubt that I’m any time soon going to succumb to the encouragement of a couple of my friends and plunge head first back into the scene. For starters, I just don’t have that kind of money to throw down. But more importantly, for reasons that I haven’t really thought about too much, I’m just not that interested in spending my time that way anymore because, frankly, I find it kind of boring (no, foreign language versions of old games don’t count. But that’s a topic for another day.).
But that’s in no way meant to knock video gaming as an absolute waste of time. In fact, I am frequently amazed at what some people end up doing with the more creative aspects of the field. Anyway, that’s all kind of a BS preamble to saying that I this ad really clever and funny.
