BSD & Gaming

I don’t really have much to say for now,  I just have a few observations and scattered comments on various topics.

Online games don’t seem to be very social today, it’s almost like playing a solo game  most of the time. When MMO’s first took off things were really cool, I met all sorts of people from all over the world and some I am still in touch with over a decade later. Everyone I’ve met lately either doesn’t want to connect, just want to harass people for fun, or want to sell you in game items for real world money. Blah. The only thing I can come up with is that since the gaming industry is heavily focused on button mashing console games, the days of real social gaming are over…. or are at least in a slump till the pendulum swings back the other way at some future time.

Still playing STO and having fun. Trying to talk a few friends into trying it, they are not big gamers but are Trek fans. Again the hard thing is to find good people to regularly go on missions with.

Looks like the lack of interest in Myspace is pretty much permanent. I logged into my page there for the first time in ages and out of all my friends there no one has updated anything in ages. It seems that Facebook is still king of the hill. I don’t really use my Twitter page I just don’t have that much to say all the time.  I’ve never been interested in text messaging so maybe that’s why twitter doesn’t excite me, hell I even hate cell phones lol. Mine is never on unless I’m calling out and even then that is rare.

Ah well I’m just rambling. Have a good night interwebs people.
