Signs that you're no longer a gamer
April 30th 2008 06:18
The screenshot above is from one of the last games that I actually got into. Morrowind... it was a hugely open-ended, sprawling epic. A wonderful game, especially with the nooks and crannies that you could explore, leading to fantastic shrines or dungeons.
Well, here it is, 11 Signs that you're no longer a (hardcore) gamer.
I was never 'hardcore', but I can admit that I fall under every one of these points, except the ones that require you to have money.
"You prefer playing against the computer"
Yes, I do. For one, the computer is free when I'm free. Secondly, the computer is easier to beat.
"You only play when your girlfriend is out"
Er... yes... well, I can play when she's sleeping, too.
"You believe that winning isn't everything"
It's pretty rare that I win, anyway...
"You fondly remember a ‘golden age’ of gaming"
I suppose it's because I really, really cared about games back then. When the new Ultima came out, it'd be all we talked about.
"You find the idea of videogames based on board games perfectly acceptable"
I'm still waiting for an open-source version of Axis and Allies.
Unfortunately, I've fallen prey to the lack of time to play videogames. In fact, it appears that I enjoy thinking about playing games as much as I enjoy playing them. I can't wait to think about Grand Theft Auto IV and Spore! I'm thinking about them already!
