Every day, man. Hell, I was playing God of War when it released....and I found myself stopping (in game) like every 100 feet just to stare at stuff. I was blown away.

I breathe in my games. Appreciate every little morsel of detail and wonder.

This is probably getting into it a bit tooooo much....but yeah. I have this weird synesthesia type association thing I do with games. Not even sure if that's the word I'm looking for. But I connect gaming experiences to moments in time, including the weather, foods I ate, and relationships I had with people around that time.

I remember playing Demon's Souls in the fall, because that's when it released. That game had such a profound effect on me....that when fall comes around...I can feel that game the way it felt when i first played it. The whole air just feels Demon's Soulsy. Going on a hike in the woods in the fall...and it's just....Demon's Souls. But not in a weird of horrifying way.

Final Fantasy 7 reminds me of this particular brand of carpet fresh stuff I used to sprinkle on the carpet after the puppy we had in 1997 would shit in the living room. We'd get home from school and have to clean up after the puppy, and then we'd play FF7. So every time I think of FF7....I can fucking smell that specific brand of carpet fresh.

I was once walking down the aisle at this Home Depot....and they musta had that same exact air freshener/cleaning supply on the shelf as I walked by....because my nose picked it up....and I was shoved mentally and spiritually back into 1997 and Cloud was doing his Braver limit break to a giant mechanical boss in my mind....and it was so trippy and vivid. And I could practically feel myself on the couch with my brother sitting next to me and the temperature of the living room and dreading going back to school...and the puppy running around shitting everywhere and how much i just generally loved life.

I patiently await the day we have brain-augmented VR. True simulations. Experiences. It will be terrifying and incredible. Heaven and hell kinda stuff.
