Gaming memories…

So, just for a bit of fun I thought it was time to give a nod to geekdom. It’s a list of great geek hits from the past. I’ve included them in my list for various reasons but they are all famous in the gaming community in particular, some have transcended to the general public and they all have experienced fame and longevity many years beyond expectation I’m sure. To you gaming geeks out there… enjoy, I’m sure you’re familiar with them all.

Yes, we’ve been online for several decades… lrn2ply k thx

The online frontier

Ten years ago I wondered what online gaming was all about so I had a dabble and learnt that, for some, it was an addiction. I met a few people there though and ten years later we are still friends. For me an addiction? No. But I HAD to log on and see what my friends were up to on a daily basis.

Then came My Space. A network for the next generation. Well, it certainly wasn’t for my generation that’s for sure so I never logged on. But I was active in forums all over the place. I love them. I needed to give my opinion about everyday subjects for the world at large to look at and oggle over. Because they are, aren’t they?

Then Facebook emerged as the new ‘big thing’ and I jumped in, tentatively at the time. Now I’m splashing about willingly and wondered how I lived without the ability to know what, not only my friends, but complete strangers are doing right at this moment.

An now Twitter is here. Okay so it’s been around for while and I’ve studiously ignored it because I admit I don’t know what it does. But everybody’s using it so it must be great! Mustn’t it?

So I’m blogging now about my own ignorance and, yes, even somewhat lack of desire to get involved in another individualist pasttime that joins you to the anonymous masses.

But Dot is on Twitter now so that’s good enough for me!
