5 Games I Am Playing Right Now

I freely admit that I am a grown-up 12-year-old. The side effect is that I still enjoy playing video games. My wife doesn't mind because she plays games, too. Yes, our family has maturity issues. But, considering the fact that I could be a serial killer making human suits out of all the skin, I think there are worse hobbies.

We have a family Xbox One. I told my wife we were just getting it to watch movies on. She saw through my shallow fib when I walked in the door with a couple green box cases their games come in. Dang. But, mainly, we play PC games. Here are a few of our favorites at the moment.

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I've just started this one. All I know at this point is I have two badass swords and my hair makes me look like Johnny Winter. Oh, and there are women and unicorns.

2. Forza Motorsport 6

I am a car guy who can't afford real life sports cars. That's why this game was made for dudes like me. Hundreds of cars my insurance agent only wish I would buy in real life so he could jack my rates into the stratosphere.

3. Dragon Age Inquisition

I've been playing this one for awhile now. Very pretty graphics and I also have a big sword in this game, too. I'm detecting a trend here. Compensating much are we?

4. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

This game has you playing a guy with an eye patch who has a big metal plate sticking out of his head. This is one video game character you don't want to take into the convenience store when someone is heating up a burrito in the microwave oven.

5. Euro Truck Simulator 2

I will admit that this is a weird one for most people. Fortunately, I'm weird by nature so it's perfectly natural for me. This game gives you the chance to deliver freight all over Europe - yes, in a truck. For whatever reason, this is the most relaxing game I've ever played. I've logged over 200 hours in this monster.
