Today, September 5th, I
reached another very big milestone in my gaming career. I now own 500 games on
Steam! :D
It wasn't very long ago when I
blogged about reaching 250. But before you think I'm
spending too much on games, most of the games I have bought were on discount. Big
huge discounts. Like for example, the recent Steam Summer Sale. Yeah, I too have my
bills to pay just like you.
The thing is, I don't have a
social life. And being an introvert, I like to be on my own most of the time. So,
I usually spend my weekends watching TV show marathons via hotstar premium
subscription. But as I have blogged recently, I didn't have internet at home for the past 3 months. During those dark
times, playing games was the only thing that kept me from losing my sanity.
I'm not going to make this post
boring by writing a review on some of the new games I have bought. You can
check out my profile on Steam - [link] anytime and see my games collection.
I'll leave the reviews for another post.
Another big milestone I
reached today was reaching Steam Level 50!
And not only that, I have
managed to craft exactly 50 badges as of today. Very nice
coincidence. :)
I feel kinda nostalgic, and
quite accomplished to know that I have bought all these 500 games out of my own
hard-earned money. It made me recollect all those years when I used to beg my
dad or mom over and over again to buy me the latest Nintendo or Sega game
cartridge out in the market, and I would throw a tantrum or sulk in a corner if
they didn't buy it for me :D
I wish I could go back in time
and bitch-slap the young me and say, "Listen son, you wanna play Contra or
Mario bros, you better work your ass out. Work hard and years later, you can
buy any game you want." and then I disappear in a puff of smoke while
Britney's song "Work bitch" plays in the background :P
To keep this post short, yeah
to me, collecting and playing different games is important, especially in my
line of work. I like playing all sorts of games ranging from Casual to Action to
Strategy to Tower Defense to RPG to MMOs to FPS to Simulation and so on (I
think the only genre I don't play are car racing games :D ).
What is important is, at the
end of the day, it makes me love my work. I don't hate waking up early to go to
office every morning or staying back late in office after work. And that is a
luxury most working professionals don't have.
So until my next post then,
see you all, cheers.
