So my wonderful girlfriend decided that in celebration of the release of Fallout 4 she would make me a little survival kit hamper filled with food and drinks from the game! Isn’t that sweet? It also got me thinking of an interesting topic for today, gaming merch.
Us as gamers love to buy things from our favourite games from companion cubes to Mario hats but my question is why? Some of us just want to remind ourselves of our favourite games or even to show support to the developers for creating something wonderful but is that all there is to it? Maybe sometimes we want to make ourselves more immersed. I know for a fact that is what I am feeling when I consume stuff from my survival kit while playing Fallout 4. Or maybe I’m just looking too much into this, who knows.
Anyway what do you all think about this? Why do you buy gaming merch and what cool bits and pieces do you own? Let me know in the comments! That’s all for now, and as always. It’s not just a game, It’s a Life.
