This isn't really like my other two rants, but it is still a rant on something i've not been doing nonetheless.
At the beginning of the year I was watching whoisthisgit and I realized, everyone I watch, or look at has played or keeps playing lots and lots of games. Not just playing the same game for a week or two, but actually playing different games. That day I forced myself to play Galaga and Super Mario Kart, it was really fun! Now by "forced" I don't mean I forced myself to play the game even if I got bored. I got a timer and set a time depending on the type and length of the game. For Galaga it was 10-15 minutes I believe, for Super Mario Kart it was 20-25 minutes. I was having fun exploring games that I either never played, or haven't sat down to play with. However, i've not been doing that lately, for two reasons...
Exhibit A. What should I play? (that rhymed.)
Of course how am I supposed to play multiple games if I don't know what to play? I pick games that I heard of and are popular but I've seen them, and likely played them. I wanna play games I only heard of, barely seen, or even never heard of.
That's where you guys can come in, put in the comments some games (that are on DOS,NES,SNES,GENESIS,N64,ATARI2600 and other retro consoles) that I should play. Note, RPG's probably won't be played, because those require me to get in the mood. But a platformer, puzzle or arcade type can work.
Exhibit B. I'll just do it tomorrow...
Yeah, i'm being lazy... If i'm passionate about playing other games why am I being lazy? Well it's because I want to do other stuff, like program, surf the web and such. But I've been looking for stuff do program, or look at on the web. So I think once I get some people suggesting games, it might motivate me.
Those are really my two reasons I'm not forcing myself to play games. However I am thinking of perhaps making a blog post for games I'll play. I could maybe call this the "PMGP" (Play More Games Program)? I don't know. Anyways, i'll see you later, and hopefully i'll see you with some new video game experiences.
