As odd as it might sound, L'Alto doesn't much have the attention span for video games, and when he gets down to it he ends up preoccupied that he could be spending his time in more worthwhile pursuits....like play Draft Day Sports Pro Football 2016--- now THAT is a game. He could go on and on all day really about it, but the fact of the matter is, he just was never good at video games. The only time that he really actually enjoyed them was as a kid when it was much more common (or the only option) to play locally with your friends. L'Alto doesn't get the appeal of playing remotely when the real reason that he would play would be to spend quality time with his friends. Because of this, L'Alto would much prefer board games since those are still spent over a beer and pizza with your buds. His first introduction to the strategy/board games was chess, and he even competed in his school's chess club and local/regional chess tournaments. Soon after graduation, however, there weren't many people interested in playing. So he moved to other types of strategy games by way of Settlers of Catan, the gateway drug of the gaming world. And it was all downhill from there.
