The 12th of September can only mean one thing, it’s Video Game Day!
If you could have an awesome canvas print of your favourite video game what would it be?
For us, it would have to be a retro classic like Mario Bros or Sonic The Hedgehog.
We all know the Playstation, the PC, the Xbox, the Gameboy, and all the other myriad examples of gaming devices out there in the world today. Gaming is a pervasive part of our culture, colouring everything from our choices in clothing to our taste in cuisine, there are even themed restaurants that are entirely dedicated to gamers and the games they love. Video Games Day is dedicated to recalling this defining part of our culture and sharing it with our fellow gamers, new and old alike. Get your game on!
So what is Video Game Day?
It does not matter whether you are a video game fanatic or you are someone who barely plays video games, Video Games Day provides you with the opportunity to embrace this form of fun. You can binge on old school games, try out new games, or complete a level that has been bugging you for quite some time! It is completely up to you, and no one is going to tell you that you’re having too much screen time. After all, there are no rules when it comes to Video Games Day, right?
Despite the fact that video games often get a bad rap because children play them so much, there are actually a number of benefits that are associated with video games. Did you know that they can actually be good for you? Of course, not all of the games on the market today provide educational value, yet there are some that involve teamwork and problem-solving, and they have been shown to enhance the grey matter in your brain, ultimately growing it. By playing video games, you can actually increase the number of different skills, ranging from communication skills to problem-solving.
The benefits do not end there when it comes to video games either. Video games can also increase happiness. After all, they provide a lot of fun. However, it is more than that. Recent studies have shown that adults who play video games are more relaxed and less stressed when compared with those who do not. Plus, the rush that you get when you complete a level that was difficult to overcome is a great feeling.
It is also worth touching on the fact that video games push and inspire tech boundaries. The first video games that were created were deemed modern phenomenons, and since then, video games have been wowing and amazing us. If you have ever slid on a VR headset, you will know exactly what we are talking about. The video games that are on the market today are incredibly exciting and boast the most impressive graphics. If this is something that really interests you, you may want to consider doing a career in this part of gaming and technology in the future.
How to celebrate Video Games Day
Celebrating Video Games Day is both easy and fun, get together with your friends and play a bunch of video games! Dig out some of your old consoles and play favourites you haven’t touched in ages, and share them with the newest generation of gamers, or friends who just haven’t seen them. If you want to go all out you can even play an event at a local college or hall and have a bunch of people get together with game-themed food and costumes, and of course decorations. Video Games Day is an excuse to go down a path of digital reminiscence, do it with a friend.
The great thing about video games today is that technology has advanced significantly, meaning that you can easily enjoy games with friends and loved ones. You can even connect with other gamers from across the world. So, why not enjoy a video game with a friend? There are lots of multi-player games, and you are bound to have fun taking on a mission together, whether that means taking down the enemy or simply winning a game of football.
If there is a video game that you have been wanting to try for quite some time, Video Games Day gives you the perfect opportunity to treat yourself. You can splurge on the newest craze.
