I Think Its High Time We Put the Games To Rest, Don't You?
See, the reason why I don't play all these games is simple...IVE PLAYED ALL OF THEM ALREADY!!! Its really kind of disheartening to know that some of us are still heavy on the sticks. My age group is centered around their mid to early 20's, so the sense of discovery along with the cat and mouse pursuits maybe entertaining at times, but when do we say the games are redundant? When does it end? When do we battle for that last token, the 8th and final time we've defeated the motherboard and put that ass to rest? To those with firm possession of their self-proclaimed sanity its reasonable to say that the game is no longer amusing when it ceases to be a challenge. We seem to have a, "Been there, done that" attitude that sets us apart from everyone else entering the the 'Candy Land~Heart Edition'. Personally ive played all these games, I even managed to write some untraceable sequences of my own. So I can understand the appeal and temptation of a young, hungry, and party-crazed 20-something who sees opportunity of achievement as more of a plethora rather than having the narrowed and defined scope that separates generations and maturity levels. Its always a disappointment when you think you have all the cards and someone is still playing 'Go Fish' or an exciting game of 'BullShit' with your personal, collectible deck. Its a little amazing the lengths people will go in that 'BullShit' game, it can almost seem like you're playing right along with them. DON'T BE FOOLED!! DON'T BE A FOOL!!! Words to live by, biblical even, "Don't argue with a fool". Even better "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times, im an idiot and I deserved it but that ass is mine!" Ok so we all know which part I inserted for my own personal former-fool rebellious rage but hey it happens to the best of us. And I know we like to play tic-tac-toe or the palms up/palms down game that test your reflexes and NO ONE wants to get slapped during that exchange. In the end, what do the games prove? What do they solve? What is the purpose? Is the competition self-gratifying for the game itself, the players, or the player who proposed the game? And are we playing the games so we don't have to? PERSONALLY, im done playing. I want to sit back and observe. I want to supply the pieces, cords, electronics, puzzles, controllers, characters, and story lines. I want to have a co-producer. I don't want to play, that's DEAD to me. I want to find someone who done with the play on words. Someone who doesn't have to have their cake and eat it too. When the games are gone, and the TV's off, and the electricity has vanished, who will join me outside for a nice and original yet long forgotten game.... of tag?
