So you see, the new year comes with much promise for you gamers out there. We should all be excited about the future. I know I am, but I'm in love with video games. What with all the new gadgets and games that make my heart race. Oh, so dreamy. If only I was a millionaire, I would pay off my school loans and then blow the rest on more games than I could ever hope to play. Maybe something's wrong with me, but I like it. The point being that if you were, for some reason, disappointed with 2010, then look forward to 2011. It's a wondrous time for gaming, so ignore all those troubles out there in the real world. No one wants to hear about such downers. Forget about all your strife and grief over lost relationships, going broke, or losing your house, it's time to appreciate what you do have instead of everything you don't. Did you lose some (most) of your money in Las Vegas last month? Play some Resident Evil to make it seem like you're striking back at the soulless husks of casinos. Girlfriend or boyfriend dump you? Play some Pokemon to have that special bond between you and something that can NEVER, EVER LEAVE YOU.
You'll never leave me, will you Bulbasaur? Not like that b**ch Karen.
Gaming has a way to make your life better. Just plug in the latest game you're obsessed with and go at it. Soon enough you'll forget all about giant oil spills and not getting exactly what you wanted for Christmas. Look forward to the new frontier and ignore the fact you're going to have to drop out of school and become a McDonald's drone. Maybe you even have to move back in with your parents, in that small town you hated, get that job you swore you'd never do and reconnect with your old friends who piqued in high school. That's alright; there are princesses to save. Surely there's going to be something amazing in the following year that will make everything wrong seem all better. If that something won't come out until the next holiday season, then you can throw yourself into all the previews and speculations. What else is better than creating an idea of something in your head that cannot possibly happen?
People celebrate the new year in order to forget old acquaintance and never bring them to mind. You must also forget the sins of gaming past and look towards the future of gaming. Sure, there are still games made seemingly just to take your money, but you have to look at the brighter side of gaming. Pay attention to games that are coming from some big franchise, like Mass Effect 3, to predict which games will be worth the time and money. Also, don't forget to read all the reviews you can. People like me, who happily spend time playing games so that people can learn from my mistakes, write for your needs. Here at Super Dope Gaming, we rely on the people who rely on us. We play through some shovelware, but mostly we like to tell you about the games that are Super Dope and can offer a great experience. By the way, look forward to new things coming to this site in the new year. There are always things turning in the minds behind Super Dope Gaming.
Mostly kittens.
Just remember, Dope Gamers, there is a silver lining of Uncharted or Zelda for every dark cloud of Lost in Shadow (which had such potential). Don't give up hope for the next big gaming development that's sure to wow you in ways you've never thought of. Keep watch over Blizzard for Diablo 3 and Eidos for Arkham City. Personally this is what works for me when I want to forget about things too horrible to think about. So right now, I'm mostly excited for those upcoming games, even though I spent most of the break going through the "Humble Indie Bundles," which were good, but only about four out of ten were really great experiences. In other words, don't worry about life, just play some video games.
