I am a cheap Gamer

I really don't play video games anymore.  Not in the tradional sense.  I watch other people play games on Youtube.  Yep, I don’t play anymore.  I watch.  

Why?

Games are Expensive.
I do not have as much money as I used to have to spend on games.  Having kids will do that.  I have only 2 games that I like to play anymore.  I still love Skyrim, 200+ hours in.  And Diablo 3.  That is it.
Side note - The last game that I bought was not worth the money.  Destiny.  I wanted to like this game

Oh, Tried so hard to like this game.  And that is a problem.  You should not have to try to like a game.  It just happens, that is why you play a game, because the fun is built in.  Sometimes the game will trick you, Like World of Warcraft, at first it was fun, but a year or two you realize you just spent the last 2 hours harvesting spider-somethings for part one of a 5 part mission to get a somewhat cool helmet.  The fun is gone.  But WoW was fun, once.  Destiny, is not.  It is like WoW, but with out the ininital fun.  It has it’s moments, but it always pointing to a bigger and better game that never gets there, Broken Promises.  - End Rant

So, yeah, I got burned.  The new games and machines are too much as well.

Also Little one is old enough to know what game controllers do, and wants to touch them.  I even try to give her a one that is unplugged, but she is smart enough to know that it is not doing anything.  So I cannot play with her around.  But I can watch someone else do it on youtube.

And did I mention that games are too expensive?  I cannot afford all the new hotness to make the games look super shiny.  But these you tubers do.  They have super rigs.  

The hard part is finding youtube guys that are not annoying.  A lot of them do that thing that we all do when a camera is pointed at us, and we get all loud and awkward.  “Hia Giys, today we are playing penguins of doom, ha ha, I’m so random, like me….”  But I have found some regular people that I watch, guys that play like how I would play

Julie makes fun of me for this sometimes, but I do not care, but she likes Pinterest and Glee, so...
