The things that make us reconsider who we are and what we believe in are often bizarre, random, coincidental; sometimes completely unremarkable save for the sudden realisation that concusses you. Lately, things I’ve been reading and playing have coalesced into a divine cognisance for me. I’ve been reconsidering my faith.
I had a friend tell me that Steam sales were directly responsible for him not having played almost 80 percent of the games he had actually purchased. It’s crazy, but there’s something about Steam sales — the ease of purchase, the awesome prices — something that just let’s loose the strings of our digital wallets, and sends our credit card bills skyward.
