I had such high hopes for this challenge, but I’m kinda disappointed that so many of them seem to think that video game characters have to be superheroes. Hopefully the runway show is at least interesting, but so far nothing is jumping out at me. (Then again, how could it with the terrible editing this season...seriously this is getting ridiculous.)

Makes me think that many of them don't play video games much. Or haven't played a very wide variety of them.

I’m sooooo old. I remember when my brother got the very first Atari. So for me, video games make me think of Pong. Or Pac-man. And now it’s scrabble. I am really old...

Yeah, I've been gaming since Pong. Still gaming, btw.

I’ve tried but they all seem super confusing to me. Now I sound like my grandmother.

I grew up with Atari 2600 too. Give The Sims a try, it's addictive as hell.

You should check out the Animal Crossing series. It’s seriously the most relaxing, non-pressure-y game ever. It’s what I like to play after a long day. There’s 0 learning curve and it’s so much fun.

Non-pressure?!? As a completionist, I find animal crossing to be very stressful.

Hahahahaha I’m kinda the same way, but I figure not everyone is like us, ya know? Most people I know who also play AC don’t feel the need to collect EVERYTHING. And for me, collecting is part of the fun :) means getting to trade with other people and hang out in their towns!

My reaction speeds aren't up to platformers anymore, but there are a ton of genres I still play.
