One day we will all wake up in our single beds, pull open our curtains and look at the beautiful landscapes and lush backgrounds and think "Who needs gaming when we have this?".

One day, I don't know when it is, maybe we will all go back to the simple days of sitting out in the sun and being baked like potatoes on a hot plate, staring at the bright blue sky.

Call me cynical, call me bored, call me whatever you want but I strongly feel that one day, this will happen. I don't know when, I don't know how and I don't know why but I believe that it will happen.

Just think about it, those beautiful blue skies, those lush green trees and those super stream-lined seas. Take yourself to your own happy place and clear your head of everything else ( even games! ).

Did that make you feel good? Better than games? If yes, then you have proved that my theory is correct that good ol' fashioned simple life.

Thank you very much for reading.

I've not been outside in the fresh air for five days.
I can't even see the sky cos my curtains are drawn to keep out the light.
All I need is a darkened room, a PC, and a games system, and some games.
I really know how to live, let me tell ya!

I think I'll go for a walk later.... nay! I'll play Crazy Taxi instead!

Then you sir, are not playing the right games.

(Damn that felt good. Cheered up yet, back as a gamer?)

Damn right. I'm a gamer, and that is how I'll stay.

The fact that you find looking out at a landscape appealling isn't because you're growing old, it's because you're not being entertained, and your mind is maturing from such crapfest games like Tomb Raider and Abe's bloody Oddysee, and you're trying to find games that will spark you off a bit more emotionally.

Try playing some rpgs, they're always great for things like that, something that's a bit more rewarding than reaching the end of a level only to find another one.

Yes that would be good but it never happens to most of us so we play games where it should happen but we kill the bad guy save the damsel in distress and save the world. By then the game is finished and we still never get to see that wonderful picture you painted us. Call me cynical. Must be my old age.
