Balance Between Being A Gamer & A Walkthrougher

by Tass on Jan.27, 2010, under Game, Personal, Random Stuff, Walkthrough

I often feel like I’m in a vicarious position. On one hand, I’m a gamer. I like the challenge of figuring out puzzles and levels and the sense of accomplishment when I succeed. On the other, I’m a walkthrougher. I need other people to not care about the challenge and only want instant gratification.

I wish that there wasn’t such a heavy demand for walkthroughs. That today’s youth had the patience and intelligence and drive to want to figure things out on their own. Sadly, they don’t. Kids just want the easiest path from A to B, regardless of how stimulating it is. So I might as well give it to them… because if it wasn’t me, it would be someone else.

I don’t feel bad about what I do; not at all. I do, however, feel a bit sad for those who are so dependent on my videos. I guess, ideally, people would only turn to my content after being stuck on a specific spot or level for a certain amount of time and exhausted their mental capacity to try new things. But, I’ll survive and be thankful that I don’t have to do actual work to make a living.

What I do with your videos is..

I try my best, and IF I fail, I try your video.

I rarely need more than 1-2 levels though, wich are fucking obvious after I watched it. bleh.
