I’m back home from celebrating the 60th anniversary of my grandparents-“in-law” and I bring an interesting discovery with me: pretty much everyone under the age of 40 was playing videogames. Granted, there was a level 80+ Clash of Clans player in the mix, but even he was into Skyrim. So, there I was, stuck in the middle of pretty much nowhere, surrounded by nice, but for the most part not particularly hip, not exactly young folks, yet discussions about the Oculus Rift and Ubisoft doing Ubisoft things ran rampant.
At the end of the day, we had two groups of people. One drinking beer, talking about stuff they’ve probably talked about for the last 40 years or so. One playing Space Team together on their phones. I guess both had fun, but I got to shout “Excite the Tachyon Adapter” at my girlfriend, while she was quelling the robot uprising and her cousin set the Idiosyncratic Photocontrol to 2.
Not a great week for gaming centric webcomics though, so I had to cut it down to 5 …WEBCOMICS!
