To Game

Video Games


They're on the news.
They're in your Sunday paper.
They're templates for design.
They're escapes.

Everyone is a gamer.

Whether it is the teenager mashing buttons furiously in his room.
Or the grandma hitting deal on her handheld Solitaire device.
Or the twenty-one-something slamming the Spin button in Vegas.

We all play. But we all play for the same reason.

Because it's fun.

Sometimes people forget that.
You could go from climbing mountains on a treacherous island in the middle of the Pacific, to playing the star quarterback in the big game in less than a second. You can be the hero or the villain. You can get the girl.

We all play.
Let's talk about it.

  1. What games have you been playing lately? Geoff and I recently got back into WoW and I'm almost (keyword "almost", lol) ashamed to say that is where I have been spending most of my time.
