Doom 3
In the world of computers there are a couple of milestones that
everyone waits for. One of those milestones came to pass last week
with the release of Doom 3. A video game that took over 4 years in the
making. As a player I keep track of all of the latest happenings in
the video game world. For instance, Star Wars Galaxies is coming out
with a space expansion in November. Star Wars Battlefront is also
coming out around that time period. Half-Life 2 is also supposedly
coming out at the end of the year. It has been delayed about 5 times
so far. You might think - wow, this guy plays alot of video games. I
wish. Apparently I have a short attention span. I play a game for a
couple of days, maybe a week if it is stellar and then I forget about
it. Reasons I quit - they're too hard, I don't have the time, and on
line gaming has people who are too good. I know what it is. They are
college kids with alot of time on their hands. Apparently there is a
whole bunch of college kids who do nothing but play video games all
day. I remember I got on XBox live one time and tried to play
football. XBox Live has a microphone that lets you talk to other
players. Apparently I was right, they are all teenagers and college
students playing these games, and they are very rude too. I mean, Doom
3 came out last week and I jump into a multi player game and keep on
getting killed. They have already evolved in super-gamers in the time
span of one week. I think I'll just play solitaire from now on.
Thought of the Day
Han: "Wookies are know to pull peoples arms out of their sockets"
C3P0: "I suggest a new strategy. Let the wookie win."
--Star Wars (I hope I didn't butcher the quote)

I think we're still pretty good gamers, all things considered. I only get to play the new stuff once a week, and I can hold my own online....most of the time. If these kids had the responsibilities that we had, they'd suck like us, too.
You, however, do have a short attention span when it comes to gaming. I've never seen anybody get so bored with a game after a week. I sometimes play the ancient X-wing and still have a blast...on the rare occasion when I have spare time. Think of it this way, you'll never run out of games to play.

The quote actually goes like this.
Han: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookie.
C3PO: But sir, no one ever worries about upsetting a droid.
Han: That's because a droid don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookies are known to do that.
C3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookie win.
