As a middle aged, father of 3, adult who likes to play videos games (namely Minecraft for the purposes of this podcast episode), I find it a little bit messed up how we as a society tend to frown upon and judge adults who enjoy this amazing pastime. If you're not hurting anybody, why should it matter what makes you happy? I think the truth is that most people, speaking of adults in general, wish they had the time to play video games in some capacity. And rather than actually making the time to play them, they come up with excuses about how being an adult means they have too many responsibilities to do fun things like playing games.

I happen to think it's complete hogwash. While there are some things you HAVE to do, there are a lot of things you CHOOSE to do that are not mandatory. You need a job to pay your bills, but outside of a small number of things required to make a living, everything else is optional.

Let me know in the comments if you agree/disagree and why. And if you play video games as an adult, what kinds of games do you most enjoy?

Welcome to The Long Way Home, the podcast where we dive into the changes the world has gone through over the past 4 decades! Join host Josh "Bearheart" Hawk as he meanders along this windy road, recounting stories from his childhood in Ohio and reliving the late 80s', 90s' and even the turning of the clock into the new millennium.

We all know the saying, "you can't go home again", and that's more about the passage of time than anything else. Home, at least the way we all knew it as kids, doesn't exist. The world changes, people move on and life morphs into something we barely recognize as we work to raise our kids, pay our bills and try to find some semblance of normalcy.
