I really love to play video games. Some people consider them a waste of time; I consider them an interactive art form. Plus, I'm really into technology

I used to be pretty good at those types of games, but I haven't played for *so* long! I remember trying to beat this one level on something a million years ago. It'd been created by a college friend of mine, I was playing beta player mode and DAMN! I did something similar with the diagram. In the end he has to re-code the level because it was *too* hard to get passed, lol.

Oh, man, it would suck if the game was still in development and you had no real reason to believe they'd made it doable! Even so, some of these games, I go online to try to figure out what I'm doing wrong that I can't get gold level no matter how many times I try, and though for virtually every game there is an answer, for a few of them, it's basically impossible, which is just bad game design.

As much as I love to play video games, being a beta tester would be exhausting, I think!

It's amazing, isn't it? It's becoming, among other things, a new storytelling medium. (I just watched some videos of Papers Please--amazing, and scary!) For me, the puzzle games are easier and more relaxing than these types of games. But yeah, Defense Grid is HARD and sometimes exceedingly frustrating, and not for everyone.

Yeah, some of them are more like novels now, or even memoirs--it's really interesting--like a movie you get to participate in instead of just watch.
