Why Was Gaming As a Kid so Much Fun? How Do We Get Back The Feeling of Getting a New Game As a Kid?

I realize that now as a grownup gaming has slowed down for me. It's not what it used to be. I remember the days of being a kid and how it felt to play a video game then, there was an excitement and passion and euphoria that I just can't seem to recreate again. Maybe I will if a game comes along that really gives me that nostalgic joy again. My history of playing video games started with the Nintendo 64 when I was 6 years old. That was my first console and I played it to death, both my brother and I would spent Saturday mornings gaming and eating Ice Cream. I want to feel the feeling of sitting down to play on a Saturday morning and knowing adventure awaits you. If i could get that feeling again , it would be all I need in life. Saturday mornings were the most memorable for me because they were filled with so much fun for me. Back then I had just moved to the United States with my Dad and my brother and we didn't have much to our name. We had public assistance and we barel

Brutally Difficult Video Games That Will Take You Forever To Beat

Playing that little won't change your life the way a real addiction will. For most people who get addicted, it usually means getting addicted to one game, usually massively multiplayer, hardly is it ever single player.  Massively multiplayer games are games such as World of Warcraft, Eve Online, League of Legends, and Dota 2. These games involve putting in a lot of time and effort to get good. At some point in this journey there are people who cross a line where the game becomes more important than real life. No one really knows where the line is but one thing is for sure there are certain people who are predisposed to becoming addicted. And it isn’t a particular game, it is the person in question, as a person like this can stop playing their f
