A Poet's "Gaming Addiction": Number 1

Since I stressed all I could with the old school television shows. I thought I should actually do some gaming blogs. They are just awesome, right? They are a lot of fun and we enjoy them all. Some people like to say that games are an "addiction". I don't think that it is a gateway drug or anything like that. Playing Beautiful Katamari doesn't make me want to smoke any illegal substance (although people like to believe that the creator was on something when he designed it). I feel that some satire is in order. From my point of view, to those nay sayers.

This week's confession: Super Mario Galaxy.

Hello. My name is Rob. And I have a problem. Well, it's not really a problem. Even when it is eating up the limited free time that I have. Nothing is as fun as this. It gives me a rush just talking about it. It's called Super Mario Galaxy. When I'm not doing homework or socializing with my girlfriend and friends; I'm playing it. Its gameplay is amazing and high quality stuff. I have about 60 stars or so. That's over the last month. Its platforming challenges are engaging and I really can't seem to stop. What I like most, is when we get to the levels that are almost 2-D. Like the old school NES and SNES games. I feel that nostalgia that I've been missing in my daily life. The urge to go back to the past feels satsified when I pick up the Wiimote. Picking up star bits is like "honey" and it tastes so good. Especially when you get to find different ways to get them. The powerups are very amazing too. Even that silly looking Bee one. Should I stop playing it? No. Am I addicted. Yes. Is that a bad thing? No. Is it better than any drug that one could get? That's a big yes. Mario: this poet's gaming addiction: Number 1.

I'll continue these if you all like them. After all, this is experimental. Another thing, I'll eventually have a blog based on all of the games I found in that old school box. So that everyone can enjoy my treasure too. Spamity comments on my new series if you so wish to do so!! :D
