The Power of the “Holy Crap” Moment
Ever since I was just a little Brother, I’ve been a video gamer. I don’t need to tell you about the unique value of this form of media or why we love it so much, but I’ll admit that the thrill of putting in a new game isn’t quite what it used to be. I’ve been thinking about the reasons for this, and I don’t think it’s because I’m too busy with real life or because I’ve become cynical (those are just coincidences). No, I keep coming back to the one thing that made me love games the most when I was young – the “holy crap” moment.
