Monthly Musings: Playing With Yourself photo

Don't tell me you didn't see that coming.

Yes, it's time for another Monthly Musings, the series that allows commenters and cbloggers to get their thoughts posted on the front page. Last month, we talked about the benefits and pains of playing with other people; this month, we're talking about the emotions and ideas that come from singleplayer experiences.

What does singleplayer gaming offer that multiplayer doesn't? Is singleplayer a more, or less "pure" form of videogaming? What accounts for the general trend toward singleplayer experiences in today's market?

If it has to do with singleplayer games, you can talk about it. Just be sure to put "Playing With Yourself: blah blah" in your cblog post and use the "monthly theme" tag

maybe I'll finally make a Cblog post after being here for a year and a half and not really contributing outside of the front page feeds.

@IroN1c: That was my first response as well. Nothing says I live in a dark room playing video games by myself like a good ol' RPG.

Hmm, I think I can write about Legend Of Mana again. I'm kind of tempted to do Persona 4 though. Meh, I'll probably just be lazy this month again and do nothing.

Hmm. The first thing that comes to my mind is racing against ghost data in Mario Kart. I'll probably write something about that if nobody beats me to it first...>.>
