I'm into video games, in a big way. I've got the app, and play it when I'm out in public with others. I think it's a great concept.. and Nintendo is fantastic at making simple games, that really get to the core of "fun." However.. it's too plain for me to play a lot. Like... if my husband and I are meeting friends at the zoo, or going to a soccer match, then it's neat to pass the time, walking from point A to point B. I love that local businesses are using it as an opportunity to gain customers, AND that it's getting sedentary people out of the house, exploring their cities. About the only BAD side I've seen is having to scold my husband for trying to play while driving. I'm not having any of that shit.. he's a bad enough driver as it is.
What I'd really like to get across though, is that all in all... there are so many video games out there, that are AMAZING pieces of art, with incredible stories, and truly create an immersive experience for the player. I hope that this side of the gaming world seems some exposure from this, as well. It's underappreciated by the general public.
I wish I could quit my job and play video games full time. But... I'm responsible sooooooo...
