This edition of Bloggers Wanted is going to be focused on video game “families.” We’re steamrolling ever-closer to Thanksgiving and then onto the hell month that is December, culminating in yet another reason (aka Christmas) to spend time with your awesome/demon spawn relatives.
Much like the waking world, video games tend to force a group of people onto you who you’re going to be spending a whole lot of time with, whether you like it or not. There’s no choice involved. By some dice roll, or divine intervention, these are the people who will largely come to define how you experience life and the world around you.
With virtual stories, we’re often thrust into the company of people we might not want to even share an elevator with given a choice. Whether through Stockholm Syndrome or revealing themselves to be genuinely compelling companions, it’s easy to get attached to these folks.
