Once a gamer, always a gamer.

We're all gamers at heart. Think about all the games you would play as a kid that would make your summers the best they could be. You would spend hours and hours playing Mario Kart with your buddies on a rainy day in July. The person who you were in those moments may be hard to get back, but you can get back to those games. Games will always be there to pick us up when we're down, and we wouldn't want it any other way. We're gamers through and through, and we know just what we want from it. We want to feel lulled into a beautiful flow state of decision-making and fun-having. This is what gaming can provide for us. Real gamers know this. Gaming helps us feel like kids again, in a beautifully sweet way. It can take us back to that place of innocence and unadulterated experience. Do you remember the first time you held a controller in your hand and realized that it unlocked the universe? It was a special feeling, and you knew that you were going to stick with this hobby forever. And you have. Every free moment you get, you're running to your PC to fire up a game you're excited about. You also use it to connect with other people. Think of all the friendships that have been strengthened due to your mutual love of gaming. Think of all the memories you will share forever. It's why we keep coming back.

  • Memes are a huge part of gaming fandom. Memes are the way we show that we care about our chosen hobby. If we can't lightly make fun of the things that we love and the people that we are, then what are we doing? There is always fun to be had if you're a gamer. Memes help us get there and help us understand it on a deeper level. So if that sounds like something you would be interested in, then you're in luck. The memes are here for you to scroll through.

    Why would you drive a car if you can run faster than the speed of sound? "To prove that I can beat anyone at their own game. After all, isn't it the ultimate diss to win while everyone knows you're holding back?"

Because you've shown interest in a similar post Join In The Evil Within 2(2017), Seb tied the flashlight to his thigh, yet the illuminated area is determined by where you are looking at, rather than where Seb's legs are facing.
