I have spent the better part of two weeks in the throes of some megaflu. It only sounds dire. Basically just a low grade fever, and nausea from all the garbage in my sinuses systematically relocating to my stomach. Woo Fun! I picked up the GOTY edition of Left 4 Dead last week while Steam was floating it for $15. I’m not normally a big fan of zombie games, I get squeamish over the Resident Evil flicks, but I spent so much time focusing on tactics that I didn’t really pay attention too much to the graphics. If it shambled in any form, it was something to shoot.
I am beginning to realize that I’m slowly becoming a non-gamer. Once upon a time I would have spent all day conquering the levels of zombie infestation, switching to Counterstrike or Team Fortress with a sprinkling of Warcraft in there. It just doesn’t appeal to me. Now perhaps this was mostly due to my various maladies I’m still trying to shake, but I can’t get over the feeling that I’m just not really into the PC games anymore. As I get older I play less often and in someways I’m overjoyed that perhaps I’ll finally stop the excuses to move on to other projects. At the same time I can’t help but feel that I’m losing something, as if a piece of my youth is finally slipping away and that’s somewhat depressing. I’m hopingit’s just a case of burnout and I’ll be locked and loaded when it comes time for my Blizzard treats.
