I am sick. Sick enough not to go to work. But I may also be sick enough not to take advantage of a little extra couch time and catch up on some video games. I’m not exactly at Death’s Door here — I was yacking something fierce last night, but it seems that’s passed now. I had a fever and major aches and pains, but those seem to have receded considerably. But when I’m feeling nasty like I do now — stuffed up, lethargic, headache coming in and out of focus — games sound overwhelming. I don’t think I can handle a fast-reflex game like Super Metroid right now. Another game on my “catch up” list, Metal Gear Solid 3, sounds too strategically intense for my poor, sensitive brain right now. I’m sure I’ll power up a system for at least a little while, but today may be a lost cause when it comes to making the most of my gaming time.
Am I the only one who thinks gaming while sick is just not very fun?
