Hardcore Gaming

Rarely have I ever investigated into the life and work of and Indie game programmers and creators. I have always appreciated the work of these visionaries. Minecraft, Battle Block Theatre, and World of Keflings are all solid games. However, after watching this video, I realized just how much work and stress goes into the making of these games. These people are really serious about their stuff.

Now granted, sometimes these creators appear unstable (and I think that some of them are). However, people often closest to the creative muse are like this. I don’t ever want to be like that, but I have to be careful that I don’t judge these people. The creators of games like Super Meat Boy, Fez, and Braid have invested their entire beings into these games. I admire them for that, but I also feel that that might be unhealthy. Especially regarding the Tommy, the choice to avoid a social life could be dangerous. God willing, as I go into the film industry, I am going to seek to maintain relationships. Though film is my passion, I will not let it engulf my life. God is my first priority, and I know that the biggest way Jesus wanted us to spread the Gospel is through interacting with people and making disciples. That is what is truly important in life.
