Ridiculous things that make me happy

I think everyone knows I enjoy playing video games, but I also hate this new crap where everything has to be complicated and involved. Fortunately, ArenaNet has heard my complaints and is building a game that is both epic and still can be picked up and played as if it were Tetris (Maybe I'm exagerrating a little. Okay, say "as if it were Zelda"). At least, that's what they're promising. I REALLY hope it lives up to what they say it will be. I miss games that were just about the fun. It seems like the only people who do that anymore are Nintendo. I really hope this game isn't too complicated or demanding, because it looks really fun. Still, this new video looks great.



I know that when it comes to video games, promises are a dime a dozen (just listen to any word that comes out of Peter Molyneux's mouth), but having played the first Guild Wars, I think these guys are passionate enough about what they do to pull it off. Their entire focus with the first game was to keep it simple and accessible; and I think it worked pretty well, and now they're improving on it. Anyways, I know it's ridiculous to get excited about something like this, but it makes me happy.
