Hi! I'm Steven. Nice to meet you.

So as the weeks go by, and more and more games come out, I realized something. Everything I heard about last year (like Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, ect.) I didn't buy. Why is that? Maybe I have come to terms with myself that a video-game isn't worth $60 to me anymore. I love video-games. I really do. I think it is really the most interesting form of entertainment, but at $60 a pop, I don't think its worth it unless I can get some serious replay value. I realized there is so much more in life that isn't $60 and still entertains to say the least. Is it the quality of games? I think maybe I just want something new that hasn't been done. I will buy Halo 3, but do I expect to thoroughly enjoy it? Doubt it.

My life has been an emotional rollercoaster in the past week and things got to a point where playing video-games wasn't going to do a damn thing to help. Kinda gives me a new perspective on what really is important in my life. I guess we are all just simply in the pursuit of happiness, however we may get there. This is your only chance on the earth so "seize the day" so to speak. If you ask me how things are going now, I'd tell you I'm on top of the world. For many reasons I consider myself ridiculously lucky, but I have realized that just as quick as you gain fortune, it can be taken away. I guess the right thing is to be appreciative for whatever luxuries you have in life. School is easy this year for me, my job is going great, my girlfriend is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, I'm on good terms with my family and friends, and for once in my life I have some sort of tranquility.

Thanks for reading,

Steven
