Video games aremanythings.
They’re engrossing, sure.
They’re also known for transporting us to completely new worlds, far from our own nine-to-five reality.
And those roads, right there, are the kind of detours we love taking.
And nine times out of ten, it works like a charm.
Tombs (Tomb Raider)
Take any recent Tomb Raider game you like.
Chances are, there’ll beat leasta dozen ancient crypts to unearth and explore.
Of course, it only makes sense, you know beingTombRaider and that.
Unless, of course, you’d class locking your butler in the cold room as ahiddenlocation.
And the thing that made it, perhaps more so than the Ghibli infusion, was the kingdom-building itself.
And strangely, that ends up being the reason you return to the enchanting world most of the time.
But do we feel guilty about it?
No,no we don’t.
Pokemon aside, wehavebeen guilty of spending way too much time over-leveling our characters over the years.
And sometimes, grinding towards that all-powerful status can actually prove more rewarding than playing through the story itself.
Not always, of course butsometimes.
And that’s perfectly acceptable, amazingly enough.
Maintaining a job and upholding your social status, on the other hand?
Well, that’s definitely more to our liking.
Had enough of video game activities and whatnot?
