As I, Jack Schafer, sat in my recliner reading the instruction manual for my new fully immersive gaming pod I realized I haven’t been as excited about anything in quite a long time. I mean let’s face it; I was looking forward to retiring 3 years ago (after 44 years of working), but that was more “satisfying” than exciting. I hadn’t read an instruction manual for anything for as long as I could remember. Clearly, I was more than a little pumped to finally get into a fully immersive game after years of playing MMORPG games. Yes, I definitely liked the hack and slash type games and I played them alone as opposed to teaming up with others. I think that may have had something to do with my being clearly older than most of the other players which was easy to tell from their childish online banter and posturing in the chat function of the games….I just never connected with anyone thru the years of playing so my guilds were always made of just me and my alts. The game developed and marketed by Imagine Industries, MAGIC RULES, ‘where pigs actually could fly; cows could come home if they wanted to and Hell really could freeze over if you knew the right spell, had enough mana and the spell didn’t fizzle upon casting.’ I was bubbling with excitement.
