Simple fun

- Some of you commented on the last strip saying that you remember playing games as a kid and loving them, then as an adult discovering they were awful. I think that's super common (with everything. Books, shows, movies, comics). As kids we're experiencing things for the first time and we're easily entertained. Controlling a flying machine is so much fun, even if the graphics are awful and the story is poor! Its easy to get lost in a new experience and spend hours on a small joy. We also don't have a lot of context yet. We don't know that better games are out there! We don't know how much worse this game is than it should be! This is teh first time we've experienced this kind of thing, and we have nothing to compare it to.
