It’s not like gaming plots aren’t worthwhile or that people don’t want to talk about them, but it’s more that the *main piece* of video games, the act of actually playing them, holds the least amount of appeal for me. I’ve only therefore had limited interest in gaming fandoms, even if I could write at least four thousand words on Dutiful Princess Zelda. (Though of course I was quite the prestigious raider for a time…amazingly right around the time I should have been paying more attention to my undergrad work.) So what I look for in games is more…“will I have fun faffing around for hours, or will I get bored?” Hell, my reason for playing WoW as long as I did was because I found a lot of it relaxing and liked exploring the map.
But see, I’m quite consistently bad at most games I’ve picked up, unless we’re talking something like Myst, or Typing Tutor. But for video games, so much of the discourse surrounds actual gameplay, talent-levels of users, and mechanics-for good reason of course. Let’s just attribute it to all those mechanical keyboard-users typing out their opinions faster than our mushy membrane TV-fans are capable of. Not sure how I always forget given my years of posting in WoW forums, but holy god do strifes form and escalate at lightning pace.

It’s that magical time of the year when the atmosphere is full of video game hype…and reminding me how contentious most gaming fandoms can be.
Mass Effect Andromeda was unfairly maligned given the constraints! Bethesda took a giant shit all over E3’s stage! Nintendo just should get out of the console business!
