I enjoy pulling people into the “fold.” There’s something really satisfying about spreading my favorite pastime with friends, family, and coworkers. I take pride in seeing a friend’s face light up as they go from looking at their controller quizzically and actually start having fun. Gaming can be a bit daunting when people are first faced with it, it’s eons ahead of the beeps and boops of yesteryear systems.
Sure a shortcut to that moment is pulling out the Wii or Rockband but I take even more pride in being able to do it in other ways. For instance informing one of the women that work with me that the Xbox 360 has just as many family orientated games as the Wii. Another was suggesting a couple ways another coworker could get a Nintendo DS for her daughter on the cheap. Just last night I had a friend over that was kind of bored while his wife and my roommates talked their girl talk so I fired up Geometry Wars Evolved because of him being an old school gamer and he instantly fell in love with it. Those moments are what get me geeked to be a gamer.
I guess in a way I prefer to empower people to make choices when it comes to games. Let me help you find out what type of game is suited to your tastes. I kind of get a thrill out of being able to spread my enthusiasm for gaming like pink eye in an elementary school.
