That Semi-Sad Feeling When You Finally Beat a Game You Love

So I was sitting on my couch the other night, playing through my 100th hour of the hugely underrated Mad Max game (about a 30 hour game so that should give you a feel of how much I’ve enjoyed it and tried stretching it out) and I realized, I had pretty much 100%’ed the game, with me just floundering, doing anything I can to avoid the final mission and end the game. That is when it finally hit me:

Finishing a great game is kind of like someone you adore dumping you.

It is the end of a relationship that you felt was perfect, and you have little-to-no say in it. It’s funny, I felt like pointing it out to fellow gamer geeks because growing up, beating a game always gave me  serious sense of satisfaction. I used to rush to feel that. And though that feeling still comes, it is outlived now by a sadness that I can no longer escape into that virtual world I adored so much. Granted, a lot of games give you a new game PLUS features for those who still want to dabble, but it just isn’t the same once you actually finished it, even if certain open-world titles never run out of fetch quests.

But (and there is always a but) there is a real joy to beating them, too, because suddenly you get faced with the greatest dilemma a gamer can face:

What to play next?

And in the end, that makes it all worth it (and you just repeat the cycle again and again).

This Handmade BioShock Little Sister Doll is Adorable [Pics]

If you’ve played the first or second Bioshock, you know who the Little Sisters are, and even though these little girls might seem adorable, they can harvest you of your ADAM in no time after you’ve been pomelled to death by the Big Daddy following them. For the Bioshock fans among you guys, here’s an adorable Little Sister doll, which was handmade by artist Kari Parham. More pics below!

The backdrop was made with foam board, poster board, hot glue, paint, and sheets of foam. It was made to come apart three walls and the floor. I just set the display in front of the TV to take a picture.
