I faintly remember a GTA IV icon on your desktop

Okay full disclosure I’m not completely a video game virgin. I just haven’t gotten into a lot of the stuff that people and my friends talk about all the time, which becomes horribly frustrating when everyone is talking about a game because I start feeling like an idiot or some inanimate wall.

Also I’ve never been heavily exposed to games as a kid. I was also taught that games waste time and are unhealthy and blah blah blah and I shouldn’t care for them and I guess I never really let that go.  So I lack that nostalgia element that’s apparently important.

Bottom line is, I never fully appreciated games and it’s really hard to get into them now that I’m closing in on 19 years. Aside for a few exceptions (Super Mario Galaxy, GTA IV, Portal 2, to be exact), it can be said that I’ve never played a game like one should.
