I'm so far behind on video games. The last time I was up to date with the latest games was when the PS2 was the hot new thing, which was a couple of years ago. I don't have any kind of console in the house - haven't for years - and usually end up playing shitty old games on the PC that came out 10 years ago, because that's all my shitty computer will handle.
This is no big deal - it's not like I have a lot of time to lose in the sucking chronological maw of gaming, but I do have time for the occasional burst of lovely ultra-violence in a Serious Sam game.
Serious Sam is a series of games - usually some basic first-person shooter - that never get on 'best of year' lists, and are pretty goddamn basic - you're a guy named Sam who has to blast a hell of a lot of demon scum away, and that's about it.
I've been rocking the Serious Sam 3 for a few years now, and it's incredibly relaxing, when I can grab a spare 20 minutes. I play it on the hardest setting, to make it a real challenge, and the tiniest mistake means instant death. I don't even care if I fail the mission I'm going for, if I can take a thousand demon scum with me.
This has been 100 percent my thing since the days of Doom. I don't want to play multiplayer epics, or build things, or do anything like that. I just want to blast and strafe and blow shit up.
