I'm really out of touch with video gaming. Which is probably a good thing because it appears to be an obsession with many who play them morning to night.

I prefer to be outdoors in the fresh air as much as possible.

My experience with video games consists of throwing quarters into Space Invaders and PacMan at bars back in the early 1980s. A little Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM in the early 1990s when I first got a home computer, but that's about the extent of my video game experience.

Unless you count FreeCell. A lot of FreeCell over the years. I got pretty good at it. That was my go-to game during long, boring conference calls at work.

Same here

Oh yeah that was me too at the arcade as a kid. Putting quarters in Pac Man, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Galaxy, Defender, Battle Zone, GORF, etc...

The last days for me was Castle Wolfenstein on a Commodore 64 along with some other games like Spy Hunter. Think that was 1986 when I got bored with video games and started chasing women. Haha!

Yeah. Microsoft has managed to ruin Solitaire, too. Now they want you to get a MS account in order to play Solitaire, and it is really difficult to get the game to load unless you are online.
