Waiting for Godot

It came about the time I saw the tenth head exploded in a pile of digitized gore. It tapped me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear, "video games rule." I could go on and on for hours, maybe later I will, but just so you all know, video games rule. Why just watch tv and get assaulted by commercials every 5 - 7 minutes, when I could just slam caffeine and go hours with no interruptions (well maybe pee and smoke breaks..... and substitute caffeine for booze). I like the interaction, I like the plotlines, be they deep and moving, or something more akin to Tom Clancy with ADHD and a case of whipits. My wife does not understand, she does not see a game as ever being deep, logically my reply is Final Fantasy 4 (yeah I cried). She does not approve of all the killing.... I disagree, I see nothing wrong with premature termination of binary code. She goes with the violence argument, I say she can go and talk with Jack Thomson. She says they are geeky..... for this I have no reply, then I realize she watches reality tv (a lot of reality tv).... I win. This is all my inner geek has to say right now, my outer geek needs a smoke and to shoot some terrorist binary.
