Top 10 games Circa '78 to '20
I've quit gaming all together. I recently moved and having my TV, xbox, AC, and laptop running simultaneously blows the circuit breaker. My roommate has to call the landlord to send out a tech to reset the breaker each time. This is more than annoying and has happened 4 times and i am over it. Plus the giant bomb forums are not receptive to my posts, which i first thought i would stop doing since i quit gaming but the posts are rarely about actual particulars of games.. so i'm sticking around. I will be writing alot more lists and reviews because i've been writing reviews and now i have somewhere to dump them to hash out my thoughts. I am no longer listening to podcasts or researching videogames and it feels good. No more twitch, youtube, or bombcast. i donated all of my games and some of my mini consoles and a couple of PS3s to goodwill. I did keep my 2 xbox ones so my roommate can watch Blu rays and my dad can hook up my projector in his garage for social distancing purposes. Anyway i feel clean and i've got about a 55,000 gamers score on xbox which is more than enough games and experiences to reflect on. I don't have to check in at the epic store to see what's free. I don't need to check in to see which season PUBG is on now and should i jump in again. The smart 4K tv i bought for gaming really gives me all of the media consumption i need. It's got Pluto TV for streaming COPS 24/7. COPS is infinitely more rewatchable than anything else on TV. Also there is an app for the NHL network and RedBull Tv which is ad free (unless you consider it's all just a redbull commercial) and that has surfing, snowboarding, and skateboarding.. so no more youtubing that stuff and dealing with liberty-biberty ads. Laptop is exclusively for work, writing my game reviews, and wikipedia.
