Gaming Drought

You're in a gaming drought while the rest of the world's gamers are going broke and selling their spleens for more money to spend on the droves of incoming games...

I heard that 3D backyard is pretty intense. Best part is, you don't even need a game console!

Let's Plays are probably more suited to this than writing, you know.

I'm very surprised that with as many businesses that have gone under over the past couple of years that gaming hasn't done the same thing yet.

However I have seen some gamestop stores close down so far but I think they are just bracing for everyone going digital.

I wonder when the great video game crash is going to happen still. I thought it would have in 2009.

I considered that but decided to write it like a novel. Could be interesting. And it's something I wanted to try.

But yeah... Thoughts? And no smart ass comments.

Already happened, 1983. Gaming will crash and burn when basketball industry dies, when soccer stadiums are no longer filled, when theatres are abandoned. All of these aforementioned things will probably not die in economical crisis, they will only be replaced or evolve into something different, drive-ins died and were replaced with theatres. It is very simple as to why they will not be crashing, they are all means to escape reality and in a crisis these things are very important as a pressure reliever. Plus gaming has now become a very common social activity so for it to die would require a lot of different crap happening at the same time.

Uhmm... Could we maybe not dwell on my choice of title and focus more on my writing?

I really don't think your writing is up to much. Does everything have to be in short sentences?

Yeah, it kinda started off like that. Then I realized I couldn't keep it up and changed styles.

I'll be sticking to Part 2's style now, so I might re-write Part 1.

But thanks for reading! I'll try to wrote up Part 3 today...

Okay! Chapter 1, Part 3 is up. Feedback?

Post it here.

Let's Play>>>>>>>>>>>>>>let's Read

It's not a fanfic. It my narriative of the Mother 3 story.

And besides, if you dont like it, you don't have to read it. Not everyone has the set uo to record an LP. And an LP of Mother 3 has been done before!

That aside, Part 4 is up. I'll be updating my OP soon...

Sorry for the delays! I was busy with school and such.

Part 5 is now up! This is the end of Chapter 1.
