load up the 1080p and then read this.

This ad really hit me hard. I'm not a console gamer anymore but I remember all the good times that I had playing them. Yeah I think that PC gameing is better and I enjoy that a lot now but the memories of all the WW2 shooters I played I will always have. Its my childhood and everything I can remember as a wee little middle schooler learning about my nations history and understanding why my grandpa was the way he was always quiet and to himself. When I learned about WW2 in school I had a great time knowing things that no one else in my class did. That feeling I loved so much and tryed to make into every facet of my life. I'm not gona be able to forget any of that and I never want to.

Idk I liked the video a lot and I wanted to make a blog out of it to raise my average rating. Hope it works?

Fucking amazing. We are all heroes. Kings in our own minds.

They thought Dagoth Ur and the Sixth House would rise again. They thought that the land of Morrowind would be consumed by the Blight.

They were wrong.

Gratification of the player seems the be the current leitmotiv in the gaming industry...

However, I see very little self-criticism; most of what I see dripples of blind optimism. "Games will save the world, yay!"

I'm currently giving classes to a high school dropout who messed up his life playing CS and WoW. Boy did he get rewarded by those games. But what about real life...?

Games should not only be defended. The gaming community should be the first one to point their fingers at the product and say what needs to be said.
I do agree that the common image games have among the oldest generations is pretty bad. But the kids today are pretty familiar with the gaming industry. The fight is elsewhere. Games will be widely accepted, it's a matter of years. The problem is, we shouldn't accept them too much.
