Wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride...

I've always liked games. Especially the old school ones. I admired their simplicity. You learn the rules, then you master them. You play them. You play until you lose. There are no complicated button combos or secret cheat codes or hidden trophies to collect. The achievement lies in lasting as long as you can, until you die. Like life, I've come to learn. Last as long as you can. Hold on as long as possible. And there's no shame in losing, because everyone loses. It's just that everyone has a different score. And the scores don't really matter after all. They disappear when you turn the game.
