| NotStan said: Chess carries the image of a "geek" with it. I personally love it, but haven't really played it in years except for a game every now and then. Tbfh, it's a really simple game but with complex mechanics, the only time that you can trully be challenged is when you meet an opponent that is advanced in the art of chessfare. I only met a few. I am talking about people that would literally see behind your every move and cockblock you at the last possible instance or early in advance. Nowadays people would much rather preffer battle their way out on COD instead of a chess board, I like both but chess just seems outdated, to me personally now x), maybe i'll indulge when I am older. |
I wish people would stop seeing certain game forms as "outdated". Besides the non-profit IAGO (in the boardgame area), I am also doing work on the CADERS project (see below) which tries to defend older game forms that have seem to have fallen out of favor. This goes for retro arcade games, pinball, and other things like boardgames to. I do hope the older forms get look to again, because I do have concerns that the industry is going to music game its current cashcows, like FPS.
