I am finding that I have precious little to say this morning save for a rant on the state of video games. I’m talking Fortnite. I’m troubled that the present state of the video game industry is totally controlled by the ‘cool’ of Fortnite. I don’t believe the company is very good or has wonderful ideas. They fell into this by copying a mode from others and making it fast and meme-driven. Still, the coding is weak and the gameplay is ordinary. They try new game modes long enough to get us interested and then pull them to make us want it back. Then they bring it back as a classic.
My boys wake up every day and play all day the way I used to do with Madden. There are similarities there, but this is no Madden. I want to believe this is a lightening strike. I want to believe that this too shall pass.
Some Thoughts:
- Almost a year later and where am I really?
- I’ve been devoting a lot of thought to the next iteration of the blog. I am not there yet. I am not the man I expected to be or even on the path towards creation/revival/growth. I think this year of healing has led to a year of growth for real.
