I think I’m getting a little old. As I am reading my daily sites, I find an article about a 15 years old gamer that is charging for lessons. Intrigued, I read the full article on Wired.com. Though the article was very well written and kept me interest throughout, I am baffled at how serious people take gaming these days. I enjoy playing games probably more then most 41 year olds do, but would I actually pay for lessons? No.
Maybe I am too old for today’s generation. I would like to think that I am hip or cool. I can relate to my kids very well, understand their quirky nuances and I feel that I am rather open minded about today’s "different" looks and styles. But to me, gaming is fun. It's a way to blow off steam from the work days frustrations, to get away for a few and leave the real world behind. It's not a serious adventure. I don’t care that I get beat by the computer or a 15 year old kid. It's still fun to lose myself in a game for a few. To actually pay someone to teach me how to play a game better and become an elitist? No, I don’t think so.
