I haven’t played a single game all week. I bet my mother’s proud; “You’ll never get anywhere playing video games all the time!” she’d exclaim, after telling some kids to get off her lawn and making me take out the trash. Well, except that she never actually said that, and my line of work (if it could so be called at this point) is acutely focused on video games. But she is old, and she did make me dispense of our collective garbage when I was a wee little ‘un. Anyway, since I need to play something before I succumb to gaming withdrawal — and, more pressingly, the need to sleep — here’s the news.

Why Do We Play Games? (Protip: Read, Digg, and N4G this unless you don’t want to, in which case there are no actual consequences. Well, other than my eternal ire, which will drive your guilt-ridden conscience to envision a mopey, saddened version of me, and that’ll make you happy. I am, after all, incredibly handsome — no matter what mood I’m in.)

So, I’m getting tired. I’m not sure if I can make it through Metal Gear Solid’s opening scene in my current state. Maybe I’ll pick up Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Screen again after all.

Edit: This is damn near the greatest thing I’ve ever read.
