Gaming Rules

A place for gamers in the Tumblr community to share their love of video games. We also post "Gaming Rules", rules that some of our members follow when they play games.

Confession:  I am completely terrified now that Trespasser is done. In all my playthroughs, I tried to find as many of Solas’ “Elven Veil Strengthening Artifacts” as I could… and now I really don’t think that those are /strengthening/ the Veil at all.

So I came across this little blast from the past. I wonder if I should do a Let’s Play of it? I’d have to get my hands on a copy of Windows 95 to play it though… #StarTrek #Borg #SciFi #VideoGames #Gaming

Having missed out on them, I played all three BioShock games. The first was great, the second was almost oppressively unnecessary, and Infinite was fun. However, due to the fact that underwater utopias are filled with security cameras and the flying bullet robots that love them, I died a healthy amount of times while playing BioShock 1. Around the middle of the game, I was dying to the extent that you’d think I was teaching someone else how to. “See there? You get yourself trapped in a corner with no ammo and just let them rip you apart. Now you try. Screaming at yourself, your controller, and the TV is optional, but it’s rewarding in a way.”

I figured that I’d be naturally adept at video games since I was remarkably talented at sitting through a director’s commentary. But a director’s commentary doesn’t kill you whenever YOU CAN’T FIND A PLACE TO DUCK, YOU GODDAMN ROBOT. Playing video games gave me a crash course in what it was like to focus on using my “inside” voice again, so that I didn’t go the route of a second-grader and end up crying in futility because mean ol’ Mr. Xbox hates my happiness.
