Lament of the Lonely Gamer
By mawryk 1 Comments
I'm oldish. The first video game I personally owned (besides a text adventure game whose name I don't recall that I "shared" with my brother, was the classic Burger Time. With any luck, I will update that entry here on Giant Bomb eventually.
The downside of being old enough to have played 4-color Burger time and remember the joy of upgrading to a VGA graphics card is that very few of my friends are also gamers. So I sit with zero friends on Steam. Had a buddy who I used to be able to play BF2 every once in a while, but he got sucked into the WOW vortex and may never return.
So now I tend to play more single player games than multiplayer, simply because I can. I normally don't mind being anti-social, but it would be kind of cool to compare scores in Audiosurf with people I quasi-know, and I'm thinking the upcoming, making me drool Left 4 Dead will be best played with real people as your party members.
So now I sit a lonely loner on Steam.
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go away to ponder the joy of the classic Apple IIe Moon Patrol.
