What kind of gamer are you?

I have a confession to make. I am not much of a gamer. My gaming domain has barely left the realm of 2D because that's what I was raised with. My dad showed me how to play Brick on his original iPod, and that was good enough for me. We would get extremely cheap Pac-Man consoles from the mall that would break after about three hours of gameplay. But oh, what a mighty three hours those were, gobbling pellets and evading capture from Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. The only games that I played on a real gaming console were Wii Sports, and those were pretty self-explanatory to anyone who'd ever played sports, which, surprisingly, I had. I admire anyone who's an actual gamer and can really strategize and figure out new games. Y'all are way smarter than us TV and movie watchers give you credit for, and you deserve a nice hot helping of gaming memes.

After doing that, they played the game for another 9,165.9 hours. slugmunist This is, without a doubt, about ARK: Survival evolved ifunny.co

    Honestly, there are so many things in life that work like that. There are age limits and restrictions everywhere you go.
