Meanwhile, whenever I’d go over to my friend’s house and watch his younger brothers obsess about Diablo II after the dawn of the millennium, my interest was never really piqued. When I borrowed a PlayStation and rented the first Diablo, I was very bored and confused, and likely too young for it. Console games were more interesting, more accessible, less frustrating to install and deal with, and suited me best.Īll of the above is a long way around saying that I didn’t play many PC games, and wasn’t that into certain genres that performed best on PC, like RTS or point-and-click RPGs like Diablo. I always preferred playing on console, anyway, so I wasn’t too disappointed about not being able to run most PC games, or the fact that DOOM 3 was barely playable on low settings. Our computers were pretty basic builds, and could never run much in the way of modern gaming, although I did get to play Duke Nukem 3D and some choppy NHL games. This is part of the reason why my family never invested in top end computers, and didn’t have the Internet until after my friends had discovered it at their homes.
That doesn’t mean I don’t like going outside - I just don’t enjoy spending most of my time out there. I value time spent on computers, or with a controller in my hand, over days spent outdoors. While everyone else seems to enjoy being outdoors, doing yard work, or going fishing or hunting, I’m a video game geek who prefers to stay indoors. Truthfully speaking, I’ve always been a bit of a black sheep in my family.
