roadblocks

one of the problems I have with with writing primarily about videogames is that I occasionally enter into dry spells, in which I play plenty of triple-A releases but find nothing noteworthy to say about any of them. unlike books, or music, or (sigh) movies, it seems possible to consume an inordinate amount of media but come up with stuff that’s either too saccharine or shit to inspire any neural activity. I think there’s also a bit of bias on my part to focus on newer games so I can stay on top of “community” discussions, since that seems to be the easiest way to participate in actual conversations instead of me sitting here stroking out my latest discursion on Nietzschean philosophy as embodied by Mega Man X (SNES).
