We're in the final stretch for the Humble Indy Bundle 3, which is both an awesome collection of games for awesome charities and i will not be taking part in any of it.
i'll probably write a check to the charities, mind you, it's just that i've come to the realization that i'm not really good at games. i love them, but considering that i've got the last two sets of HIB games still sitting, nearly all of which unopened and unloved, on my drive, it doesn't really make sense for me to pretend anymore.
What's worse is that i have no idea why games aren't quite as much fun to me anymore. Hell, growing up you couldn't get me to not play games. i used to hang around the arcades constantly and pump way too much of my summer income into them. The highlight of summer for me was going to the arcades in Ocean City, MD and seeing what new games came out and trying my hand at them. Now, even though i've got the time and a fairly choice set of gaming platforms to play on, it's just not happening.
i'm not twitchy enough to play the FPS games like CoD or the like. i loved Portal, but haven't really worked up enough gumption to play Portal 2. i think the last game i played to completion was Macharium. Even the old school games i used to play constantly (like Defender and SFRush2000) don't get me fired up to sit down and play.
i've got TF2 somewhere on my spiffy PC and am happy to play the occasional (as in one ever few months) training game.
i feel like i am a failure to my generation.
