What is your view on people who play retro video games? Do
you think they are fat nerds with cheese-crisp breath? Or are you a slick
hipster yourself? With a degree you’ve never used, a fit tween girlfriend and a
cabinet full of vintage goodness?
Whatever side of the argument you take, there is a market
for these things, but there also seems to be a slightly worrying trend of
emotional problems, indecision and helplessness connected to the world of old
video games.
Take these recent examples where the Blue Angel has sorted
out problems for two men in their early twenties who both seemed to be on the
verge of psychological problems until our painted prince stepped in.
The conclusion is obvious, have fun playing
games, but if you find yourself sweating, jumping up and down and questioning
your very existence, fucking stop it. Go outside.
