The Gamer's Life

The life of a gamer is a hard one. Between the risk of getting carpel tunnel syndrome and loosing your eye sight and the occasional upgrade for better parts for your PC (aka. your rig). Burning that hole in your wallet to get that PC part you have been waiting for. Or sometimes pre-order that game you have been waiting for since last year. Its one of those hobbies that are expensive to keep.


But you still keep doing it. Just wanting to immerse yourself in some fantasy. Some people have movie marathons. I have gaming marathons.


During 2009 alone, I might have accumulated around 300GB of games alone. If that's not a addiction i wouldn't know what is. But playing these games is great and safe. Being able to go through the jungles of the amazon. Or having a Dog fight over Russia's capital city during the 1940's. The different genre's they have for gaming will suit who are.


FPS (first person shooter) , RPG (role playing games) , RTS (real time strategy) even the most interesting of genre, the god game. Now most game developers have did a combination of these genres to leave you on the edge of your seat at times. Because it feels like that your really in the game and that you are that person saving the universe from utter disaster.


Game companies are improving the standards of the quality of the games. Just playing a hi def game on the highest settings requires a lot of powerful hardware and cooling. You have a wide variety of companies to choose from. Making the right choice pays off in the long run. But making the wrong choice you might end up. Upgrading your parts every couple of months.


So good luck in your gaming adventures and have fun.
