College Gamer Can’t Enjoy Games Unless Procrastinating
McMaster University Sophomore Hector Rawson is unable to enjoy videogames unless he is under a tight deadline.
Rawson, a pre-med major, realized his disinterest in leisurely gaming when he noticed his Playstation 2 collecting dust during his Christmas break.
“It’s so weird, I just couldn’t stop playing Bully during midterms, but now, I can barely get interested enough to play for 5 minutes. I thought it was because I was getting tired of the traditional video game style, so I picked up Wii. I still haven’t taken it out of the box.”
Gerrard Young, Rawson's roommate, is concerned about his video game playing friend.
“Me and Hector were planning a huge Halo 2 tournament when we were done with the semester. We had about 15 guys ready to go and Hector totally bailed on us. He said something about not feeling Halo that night. It’s so weird, two weeks ago, dude would not get off Xbox Live when his biology exam was the next morning.”
In spite of this, Rawson intends to complete the seven games he purchased and received during Christmas.
“I’ve got three essays due in a few weeks. I figure I’ll finish Zelda the night before they’re due.”
