As a kid, I really only played video games while at my cousins&#8217; house. They had consoles and even a PC with a few games. In my own home, the computers were primarily for my parents\u2014writing and work. My siblings and I finally got our hands on a Game Boy, followed by a few more, and then two laptops. I managed to snag one of those laptops and was soon loading up <em>Nancy Drew<\/em> games, <em>Roller Coaster Tycoon<\/em>, and <em>Star Wars: Dark Forces<\/em>. Yeah, those were the days.<\/p>\n<p>My dad bringing home those laptops essentially sealed my fate as a PC gamer for years. I still prefer a gaming PC to any console. Years ago I bought a basic gaming PC, tore it apart, and tinkered. When I had visions of streaming, I upgraded to a nicer machine from iBUYPOWER, which has served my needs nicely for four years. During that time, I also picked up a GameCube, Wii, and PlayStation 3 for cheap and owned a Nintendo DS. So I&#8217;ve always had some exposure to consoles and handhelds, but the PC was my bread and butter.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, I was in grad school for my masters and decided to buy a console for my new, slightly dilapidated apartment. I\u00a0envisioned it going nicely with my $200 TV I got on sale. Hey, it&#8217;s a decent TV.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to buy a console came from a lot of thought. I liked the idea of kicking back on the futon after a three hour class, and this time of my life was moving more and more to the fruition of my gaming and education interests. But I was also hesitant. What if I didn&#8217;t like the PS4? Would it be worth it?<\/p>\n<p>I was still in my prime as an avid PC gamer\u00a0but was becoming more aware of titles releasing that were exclusive to consoles. Boo. I opted to go with the PS4 for several reasons. I figured that many of the games for the Xbox One would be available on PC anyway, I have always hated Xbox controllers, and from prior\u00a0experiences, I was somewhat familiar with several PlayStation consoles.<\/p>\n<p>I went with it and bought a shiny new PS4. And promptly purchased <em>The Last of Us<\/em>. Since then, I have spent a lot of time with my PS4. In fact, most of the games I&#8217;ve written about here were played on the PS4.<\/p>\n<p>Consoles are too convenient not to have at least one. \ud83d\ude09 You don&#8217;t have to worry about compatibility, some pretty good sales come along, certain exclusives are worth the purchase, and they can be easier to transport to a friend&#8217;s house. All in all, the PlayStation 4 has served me well for a few years now. I&#8217;ve enjoyed the selection of games, and it&#8217;s been nice to lean back on the couch instead of sitting at a desk. So yeah&#8230;I need to go back and hold my PC for awhile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For half of February and most of March, I spent a lot of my time, when at home, monitoring one of my pets who developed a serious condition.
