OK folks, I'm going nerdy today. And I do realize that most of my current
small audience doesn't care about my interest - or supposed lack thereof - in
video games. So if you are reading this
far and are wondering whether this will be a silly "gamer" rant, let
me assure you that the answer is:
yes. Yes it will.
Still there? Ah, come
on. You can find better things to read,
or watch, or do, I'm sure. But in my
opinion, the chances of that better thing you'll be doing being a modern video
game... not too great, in my
opinion.
This whole rant of mine actually has its genesis back in
2012. Perhaps you've noticed that my
blog has languished in obscurity for awhile.
Well to be fair, greater
obscurity than when I actually post to it, I mean. I've been otherwise occupied with life for
awhile. But this doesn't mean I haven't
been reading, writing, or most especially - thinking.
