Lets Talk About Gaming

This is my first blog post and it's already screaming cliche' from the title itself. You might have already read thousands of posts about their sweet, sweet memories and experiences with gaming and by now, seeing one might make your eyes roll. However, i won't stop you from clicking that "X" button on your browser. (Mainly because i'm all the way over here, obviously). But, if you wanna continue reading what i have to say about and my stance on gaming, welcome aboard. So lets stop beating around the bush and get to talking about gaming.

I would like to start by asking you....

What is gaming to you ?

Is it just something that you do to pass the time ? Is it just a hobby ? A stress reliever ? Or....is it something that is so close to you that you have developed a passion for it ?

I'll tell you from the get-go that all of those things above are totally cool. But if you ask me about my stance on what gaming is, i would go for the latter. And probably most of you here have the same stance as me. Hopefully.

However, for those of you who are the ones except the latter, you might be asking....what's so great about gaming that it's a passion ? A lot of people have asked me this question and probably at the same time, looked down upon me for obvious reasons gamers would understand. I surround myself with games almost all the time and it has been the only thing that have kept me going. And what i mean by that is, it has kept me going in pursuing my passion. If you have not figured out what that is, it's writing. (Self-explanatory actually).

If you haven't picked up a video game is your life and just have seen people play it, you might just think that, "Oh, he or she is just going around shooting people for no goddamn reason."

Well, i would like to say that...no, you don't go around killing people for no reason. Many people wouldn't believe that games themselves....have a premise and story. Hence, why it has helped me in pursuing my career as a writer. Now, it's not that it just helps writers and not everyone else. Google gaming stories and you would find a handful of them that tell a rather interesting tale of why they love gaming so much. Be it, it helped them with depression (part of why i love games as well) or just helped them build a bond with other people. This happens mostly through multiplayer, online games. Yes, sometimes multiplayer-based games can have really toxic player bases, but there are few that can tell you an interesting tale connection with some rather kind people online.

At this point, you can already tell that games are a passion for me. A driving force that keeps me going everyday. And it's what led me to creating this blog where i would just share my opinions and just talk about games. My first post here might not entice you, but i hope you stick for more awesome discussions.

HAPPY GAMING ;)
