Rant 481 / Drag

You know what is the best part of playing a good game? It's when you've just clicked on New Game for the first time.

It's the same with everything else you expect to enjoy. Like a visit to a foreign country. The trip to the airport, that first sniff of the air of the plane's cabin, those are together the best part of the trip.

The reason, to me, is this: that is when all your expectations and fantasies about it is about to be fulfilled. Success is imminent. It is when reality hasn't set in yet, before it slaps you in the face. All you can think about is all those wonderful things that are about to happen, and your recognition that life isn't perfect is just a tiny shadow of a whisper at the very back end of your mind.

All that waiting, all the preparation, all your plans, they're about to come to fruition. That is the perfect moment.

Hence I'm typing this, trying to drag this moment just a little longer.
