Send us a textRemember when video games were simple pixelated adventures where building digital burgers or catching frogs occupied us for hours? The Noras take us on a delightful journey through gaming history, from the early days of Intellivision (with a surprise call from Nora's dad!) to the psychologically engineered experiences of modern games like Fortnite.Nostalgia flows as they reminisce about controllers with phone-like keypads, the satisfying "boing" of Pong, the excitement of Duck Hunt with its light gun, and how California Games let you skateboard and play hacky sack without leaving your living room. They share personal memories of playing at friends' houses, visits to arcades while waiting for tables at restaurants with questionable names like "Fat Fanny's," and how simple games created genuine social experiences.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when they explore why modern games are so addictive. They break down the psychological hooks built into games like Fortnite—FOMO through limited events, social pressure, the "near miss" effect that keeps players saying "just one more round," and variable reward systems that trigger dopamine releases similar to gambling. This evolution from innocent entertainment to engineered engagement offers a thought-provoking look at how far gaming has come.Between gaming discussions, they touch on alarming reading statistics (only 16% of people read for fun?!), proper sheet-washing schedules (are you doing it right?), and the challenges of teenage milestone celebrations. Their warm, relatable banter creates a conversation that feels like catching up with friends who just happen to be discussing the cultural forces that shaped our entertainment landscape.Have you dusted off your old gaming systems lately? Maybe it's time to introduce a new generation to the simple joys of Burger Time or challenge them to a round of Mario Kart!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!
