I play computer games.
Not all of them. I do not buy every iteration of NHL that Electronic Arts releases - heh,
(Bruins on the cover for 2015)
But I have owned a computer since 1980 and one of the things I do for distraction is play games.
Since the days when Sublogic made the first flight sim, I have been there.
That is a Piper 172 banking to the left (port). See the pretty mountains on the horizon? It was a 6 x 6 grid which if you flew in one direction continuously would lead you back to the starting point. The world depicted was 36 square miles and spherical.
I have not been really involved with any game since Legions in 2007. When it petered out I basically stopped playing games. Mistake.
Besides the social aspect (I play in a clan of over 200 members) there is a therapeutic feature in playing these games. They are causing the other side of the brain to fire up.
Last May I found a game called Insurgency. I have been playing it ever since.
And then I get asked to write a guide for the game?
And one respondent says,
"+1 on this, I may have it framed and hung on the loo wall."
Proud papa, indeed.
