Since I finally perfected an Xbox 360 game I got the reward of treating myself to a new Xbox One system and games. I was so excited when I opened it up and hooked everything up. There were a lot of downloading and updating to do so I didn't get the chance to play on Friday.
I did get the chance to look at my friend's list and finally see what my friends were playing. It was so annoying on the Xbox 360 so see my friends playing "Xbox One" and not know what game it was. Now and I could see. And what were they playing? YouTube. TV. And "watching a video". Really? That's what you were doing?
After all the grief I had been getting for the last couple of years of not upgrading, yet when I finally do that's what everyone was using their system for? What about games? Do my friends still play those? Maybe this is just the void before the storm as there are lots of great games that are coming out this holiday season. Let's hope so.
But when I was finally able to get online and play, my friends online were still only watching TV or videos and not playing games. I was starting to get sad. Then I put in Titanfall. And then I felt better. It would have been great to play with friends, but it was still nice to play a game that I had waited a long time to play.
You see, there were several games that came out that when they did so they were for both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Of those games, I decided to wait to get them for the Xbox One instead of the Xbox 360. That meant I wasn't playing Titanfall, Destiny and Shadow of Mordor. I could have, but it was my choice to wait until I could get the newer system. I think the only exception to that was Thief. I just couldn't wait to get that game on an Xbox One.
I don't know how many of the great games that will be coming out this year I'll be able to afford. I hope my friends that do have some of the games that I do have will play with me like they use to in the old days. I guess we could always watch TV or YouTube videos together too. It's just not the same.

I'm sure that they were watching your channel on YouTube.
I doubt it. Nobody watches my channel except me. And then I only watch it to see if there's problems with the upload (since I already saw everything while playing and then again while editing). It's sad and pathetic. But I like doing this stuff and would rather do it than my day job.
That's what really matters! Obviously, it's more important to do things because YOU enjoy them; regardless of anyone seeing it or not. At the very least it must be cathartic. I don't think that's "sad and pathetic" at all.
