Many of us are used to searching for the very best games out there. We are always on the hunt for the best of the best and in doing so we leave a lot behind us that we hardly ever notice. These are games that lack polish, detail and much more they lack the design of a good game. We let these fall by the wayside as we search for highest rated games to play. By doing so we miss adding something important to our overall experience with the amount of games out there. Why would anyone want to play poorly reviewed games? Games that receive less than an 7/10 on reviews, games that are negatively reviewed on Steam- It seems like one would want to do the opposite, to stay away from those games and play games that receive good review scores and that are fun to play. In fact these games do have a purpose but perhaps not the one their creators had in mind when they made them. The first question we should ask ourselves is why do we like to play good games?

Taking notes and gaming is a phenomenal experience and an experience that many gamers share. It used to be a necessity. Paying games and taking notes while gaming was the norm due to the nature of games back in the day especially the 80's and 90's computer games. Games such as Myst required much of the player in a way that games today do as well if you know which games to look towards.

This blog received it's name from my memories of gaming as a kid growing up, especially on Saturday mornings, when my brother and I had the whole day off from school and would wake up as early as we could so that we could start the day off by gaming together. Those are my favorite memories of when i was a kid. I can still feel the euphoria that i felt from waking up and knowing I could spend a few hours completely absorbed in my favorite game with my friends. A lot of those Saturday's were spent eating Ice Cream (my favorite food to this day) and gaming with my brother. Our neighbor would at times come over and bring a few of his games so that we could play together. We had a Nintendo 64 game system and a CRT TV. If i close my eyes and return to those days I can still feel something close to the joy and curiousity I felt as I explored new worlds and learned new things about each game I played. I remember loosing a lot when our friend came over as he was allowed to p...
