What do I want to learn?

I've been thinking long and hard about this, and I guess it's time to make a decision. Also, I tend to overanalyse things and thinking too much leads to internal existential debate... And it gets messy.

So my fiancé, Deo, is really into computers. He knows a lot of things about a lot of things, and when it comes to computers, he's a walking search engine. I thought that since he knows so much, he should be a part of this pedagogical journey.

And it boiled down to him either teaching me computer language (eek) or how to play computer games, since my hand-eye coordination can use some practice. Needless to say, I chose the latter.

In summary, during this learning experiment I will be teaching myself how to play a computer game, with the guidance of Deo. I haven't decided which one (they are many), or how I will record and share the experience (it will probably involve a video camera and some screen recording software) but since this is now out there in the big world of the Internet, I now have a metaphorical diving board to jump off of.

Now to introduce myself to the gaming candy shop of Steam...
