Here's the thing. I've never been much one for sports. Even growing up I shied away from all kinds of physical sports.. . . even cards and board games were not my thing. Perhaps I am anti-competitive. . . I don't know. Though I do love doing something at work that makes me or my team look good or improve operations. . . Isn't that competitive?
Finally. . . FINALLY I got some pleasure from a video game. . . YES. . . ME!!! The other night I, and my cadre mates had some good hard fun playing League of Legends. Now. . . I have tried for the past two nights and no one will play with me! *whine* It's kind of lonely . .. really. To find something that I enjoy. . . something I never thought I would, and now I can't play. I would never think of getting into the "public" area to play, even labeled as a neophyte I know (or I fear) that others would be better than I and laugh. I prefer to play amongst the safety of my known, friendly, forgiving, and nurturing cadre mates rather than that whole outside and dangerous world.
So, what am I learning? I think that games can be great learning tools. . . BUT. . . is it possible that they might alienate a certain proportion of the population?
