The Digital Fortress

Ask me anything   Musings, opinions and insights about the world of videogames from a lifelong gaming junkie -- who also has a ton of other interests, and probably not enough time to run a blog like this. But I'm doing it anyway. Enjoy!

At the age of 37, I think I’ve discovered what my “Get off my lawn” pet peeve is: videogames. Specifically, I miss the days when all I had to do to play a new game was to… insert the game into the console and, you know, play it. Now it’s insert the disc, wait for a system update, wait for a software update, wait for the game to copy to the hard drive…

More and more, console gaming feels like it’s morphed into PC gaming.

full offense but we seriously need to destroy the shitty toxic gamer culture that involves getting mad at newbie players for fucking existing.

like im sorry but shitting on noobs is fucking low ball and pathetic. Im so fucking sorry someone is more capable of having fun trying out a new game then you are mr edgelord

“lmao noobs should stop-” Maybe YOU should stop acting like your king of whatever game your playing get over youself and let other people have fun too

Youre not a fucking pro stop trying to act like you are just cause someone else is new to the game you play.

Stop giving people shit for what they play, too. Not everyone is into Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.

Fucking good addition! Im super tired of gamer bros thinking they get to decide what games are cringy or not just because they only wanna play first person military games.

Early impressions of NASCAR Heat 3: the dirt series is worth the price of admission by itself. Those cars on those tracks are that much fun. The career mode looks promising, too.

Videogame Confessions

#22: Even though I own a PS4 and have a few games I play on it religiously, I find myself less enthused with each generation of consoles. The constant Internet connectivity, the near-endless updating, the disappearance of the days when you could just put in a game and play… I’m really nostalgic for the older days of gaming.
