I’ll See You in Hell!

This is going to be a short post, because I am really unsure what I want to say and yet I feel compelled to say something. Given that base, let me be brief. On a whim I bought a newish Nintendo Switch game called Hades.

It’s rare for me to make impulse buys and rarer yet to do so in the video game market. This is a once a decade sort of happening. I played video games quite a bit in middle school. And then less and less and almost not at all as the years have gone by. The exceptions have always been for games like this though: action-oriented adventures grounded in mythology (or Mario Kart). So it was something of a shock to me when I actually clicked the Purchase button. I think at heart I view gaming as a social exercise to be enjoyed in group settings. But sometimes there’s an itch to just run about an indulge the inner imagination through the screen. I understand this is a rather popular title, both from the media and from the fact that I have to wait another month for it to become available again. But that’s okay. I think I’m at a point where I can appreciate the wait as seasoning for the main event.
