I Suck at Video Games

I just turned 35, and since I am no longer a male between the ages of 18-34, I am now in the proper demographic where I feel it safe to admit it. I suck at video games.

Here’s the rub: I love playing them. I’ve noticed that there is a big gap in the video game review world. Everyone who writes about games for a living is able to get to the end of these things before 100 people have written online about how to beat them. Where is the voice of the crappy gamer?

I always find myself buying a PS2, playing a few games that look cool, sucking at them, throwing controllers, reading cheats online, and eventually selling it all on craigslist at a small loss.

Then, a few months later, I start again.

The time has come for me to stop the cycle! I am now going to suck at games as a creative endeavor!

Join me in my quest to suck at as many video games as possible. You can be surprised when I’m good at one, and laugh at me when I’m not. I’ll tell stories about video games and other media when applicable. I’ll swear. I’ll throw (even more) controllers.
