The Gamer's Creed
Mood:  chillin'
Topic: Video games, understood.

Decided to do this for the hell of it. Here goes...

The Gamer's Creed

The Gamer's Creed is to beat the last level.

 To kill the bad guy, save the princess, rescue the nation, it doesn't matter, the end result is the same.

 Gamers are called, obsessive, selfish, overly needy, pr0n/vg addicts who would sell their younger siblings for the latest Diablo patch.

 But non-gamers have it all wrong.

 We aren't addicted, we're committed. We aren't obsessive, we're focused. We're not selfish, we're introverted. We're not overly needy, we just happen to love our mothers.

 Video games provide us with what other people find in real life; a way to fit in, to be ourselves.

 In action/fighting games, it's beating the high scores. In adventure games, it's getting all of the unlockables. In fps's, it's teabagging every c*******ing m*********ing bad guy we kill. In rpg's, it's exploring every nauseating bit of world in the hopes of finding the secret of skipping straight to the end, and not doing it.

 Yet from every angle, however which way you look at it, the end result is the same;

To beat the last level.

I've been in an existential mood lately, and I haven't posted in quite a while, so here's this.

Zakaroo out.
