Let's Play a Story

In my getting to know me blog post, I called myself a gamer, but really I just like watching other people play games, but many times I find a person who does a Let's Play on a game that really helps me understand something that I never dealt with, two games that I hope to Blog on, A Beginner’s Guide and Anxiety Attacks, both of which are played by the Youtuber jacksepticeye. If you have about three hours, I think you should look them up. I'm posting the kickstarter trailer for the game we did the reading on, because I think everyone should see it.

Back to That Dragon, Cancer, it is a hauntingly beautiful game in the way that it deals with something so real that we know it’s out there and yet none of us know what it may it us or a loved one. While I don’t have a child who has cancer and never had it myself. I did have a family member who had it and while it wasn’t as bad as Joel’s, it was still a scary thing to go through in the way that, you don’t what could happen next, will today be the last day? Will tomorrow be the last day? Or will you make it to the next tomorrow? Or the next? Not all games are like the ones you see in store (Fallout games, Halo, Call of Duty etc.), but games that what deal with real world problems, problems that none of us want, and yet none of us know how to deal with it or just talk about it. Will I ever play That Dragon, Cancer? Yes, if I can ever get my hands on it, I would want to play it, because it tells a story and it let’s you have a hand in that story.
