Video games are all about having fun and a good time, there’s nothing quite like it. It’s a magical medium to experience, where you can be anyone or anything and do anything you want. You get to partake in the fight for good against evil, or vice versa. You can explore vast worlds and galaxies, basically go to places no man has gone before. It’s all exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. That is until you’ve managed to do something in the game that gives you some sort of notification.
Why, it’s a console achievement. You’ve never seen anything like it before. Yes, video games have had in-game achievements before, however, you never really cared for them. They never really gave you true satisfaction, it was just a simple add-on to the game, which gave it extra value. This, however, is a different beast entirely. It’s simply magnificent.
It’s beautiful and breathtaking. You wonder for a while how you stumbled upon such a magnificent creation, but quickly lose yourself to it and just want to know more.
