From the Gamer’s Chair
“Life, like all other games, becomes fun when one realizes that it’s just a game.” — Nerijus Stasiulis
“It’s all fun and games, until someone looses an eye…than it’s fun and games you can’t see anymore.” — James Hetfield
I’m not sure who that first guy is (since he’s almost impossible to track down via Google™), but, as the lead singer of Metallica, our man James is well-known enough to, well… know what he’s talking about.
There’s nothing worse then loving to do something with a passion, but having to do it blindly, with no instruction, direction or explanation – basically “fun and games you can’t see!” Well, this is my first entry into what I plan will be a regular bi-weekly forum of reviews, opinions, and “hokum” relating to gaming, as interests the Gray Gamer in all of us. The tile of my column is a play on words, as I, myself, am in a wheelchair (I live with multiple sclerosis). And just so we’re clear, I won’t go on quoting statistics about how many of us Gamers live with illness or disability. No, what I will do is provide information that is relevant to Gamers of ALL styles and breeds, who have in common only the true love of gaming!
Whether you are a newbie or a hardcore gamer, I hope to “open your eyes” to all that gaming has to offer you. So – sit back, relax, grab a snack, and tape up your “Nintendo Thumbs” ’cause…
Here we go!
And as we say in game lingo:
PLAY AGAIN <Y/N?>
