Feature: How games fit into relationships

So here are some of the games which worked and some of the games which didn't. I'm going to explain…

I am that odd middle point in life. I'm old and grumpy, but I don't have kids. So when I play a game where insides are spilled, the walls are sticky with gore, and horrific violence is rendered in 1920x1080, I don't think of the children. I think of the janitors. Someone is going to have to clean all that up. There's innards on the…
