Let's all relax from the slew of serious and thought provoking posts, and allow me to give you a whimsical one for a change.
I have been looking back at some of these old "interview" tagging games I did in the past on
Facebook. One particular question that I found interesting was this one:
46. Computer games geek? Or internet freak?
Now, my response was that I wouldn't mind a gamer, but not a games geek. Same goes with the Internet. Someone who does go online, but is not an Internet junkie.
Basically, doing any of those in moderation. I mean, which gamer wouldn't mind a PS3 or a
PSP or a
Wii session together once in a while? That does sound pretty romantic, ya know? Sitting together on the couch, playing games on the console, and taking the challenge to physical levels (don't get me wrong, I meant stuff like trying to distract each other from playing) in order to win.. And all the ensuing laughter... Hey, don't tell me that doesn't sound anything like a great time spent together.
And apart from the initial bomb you pay for buying the console and the games, in the long run, it could be cheaper than going out all the time, don't you think? To me, dates can also be done at home. She and I can start by playing games. After which we would cook up dinner. Following that, we can have a nice quiet meal together, and then the loser from the gaming session has to wash the dishes and do the cleaning - while the winner does the drying and stores the cutlery and crockery. Fair trade?
Sounds pretty fun. Maybe I should get myself a
PSP in anticipation of doing stuff like that. =P
