Tea and Video Games
I haven’t eaten much today. I’ve been zoning out on video games and sipping tea most of the day. I did take a shower this afternoon and the boys have gotten what they’ve needed. I also do better at leaving Stephanie alone when I’m lost in a digital world. But I don’t feel very productive.…

Rougelike
There is a description of modern video games that some of them are “rougelike.” I’ve been playing Rouge and thinking about the forty years of other video games I’ve played since it came out. The object is simple: explore and stay alive. The enemies get progressively harder the deep you go in the dungeon. The…

Video Games and Drugs

Video Games and Laundry
My oldest son came over this morning to hook up his PlayStation to our TV because he broke his. His little brother doesn’t like the TV on at all most of the time. They did not come to blows over it this time. So he played Skyrim while his brother and I watched. After that…

First Generation Gamer
I played some of the very first commercial video game when they came out. Adventure for the Atari was fun and challenging for an eight year old. I never beat Zork. I’m nostalgic for my Commodore 64 sometimes. I had a D&D game called Pool of Radiance. Somehow I think I missed Rouge, but beat…
