What Should Gaming Really Be About?
Johnny from BagoGames writes: "I have been playing video games since I was 5 years old, so I have been fortunate enough to experience everything that has happened in gaming since the 8-bit era. It was when my mom and dad started running a candy store, which dabbled with video game rentals, that we got a Nintendo console in our living room. This magical machine let me explore other worlds and experience things that were impossible to experience in real life. Everything from stomping Goombas as Mario, to saving the world from Ganon in The Legend Of Zelda; it kept me occupied for hours upon hours. One thing that these specific games had in common was exploration. This is what gaming has always been about for me. It is my chance to explore, uncover, and experience new worlds or occupations that I cannot in real life. Everything from the game mechanics to the story — these are things that I want to uncover as I progress in the games I play, forming a unique experience that cannot be found in any other medium. It is nothing short of magical."
