All The Games

  I was reading through some of the videogame news this morning and people were all talking about a new game that went through a beta test this weekend that everybody seems to like. Even I, who really doesn't like competitive multiplayer games, of which this is solely that, thought it looked interesting. Then I saw Xbox One/PC only. Rats. Even though I will never actually play it the idea of it looked interesting and different. Something you don't see very often.

  I don't know, maybe it stirred the thing in me from when I was younger and played everything I could get my hands on. It was easier then with less games available but is so much harder now with so many games to play not to mention less time. Now I get an hour or two each day usually, nowhere near the all day marathons I could do as a young teenager. Then again I do have the major plus point of being married to my wonderful wife :) .

  Still it is fun to see all the games that are around and go "Ooh, I should play that one". At least I don't have a huge 'pile of shame' that a lot of dedicated games have of stuff they really want to play but don't have the time to play. The games just sit there in a pile unopened and unplayed. More often than not I play something for quite a while and where possible finish it. Still seeing a game go on sale for cheap I often think "I can get that one" and then don't knowing I have stuff to play for now.

  Then again I am being good about not just eating everything now as well. I joined my wife in her calorie counting app on her phone. I'm also doing the same and keeping track so I can potentially lose the few pounds I want to. It has worked for her so far and given that I lost a load of weight just by eating less if I track food maybe I can lose that last bit. An interesting experiment for sure although it annoys my wife in that I can eat more calories than her :P .

  Anyway, I'm going to finish my work day, not spend $40 on a game and then look after my wife and cats since they need some care at the moment with allergy shots for my wife, chemo for Fudge and waiting for Boots to sneeze on us.
