My Issue With Video Games

Yes, I have a slight problem. Namely, that practically every video game out there requires extensive left-thumb action. I've never taken particular note of this fact before, but having lost the use of the single aforementioned left thumb that has been alotted to me, I find myself unable to play my favorite games. Or my least favorite games. Or even the ones I'm just so-so about. And I refuse to buy Dance Dance Revolution just so I can say I'm gaming, because I don't believe that counts.
You may think that tv, movies, or books could waste my time just as effectively. But the sad truth is, they just can't. They do have their high points, especially books, which I am a HUGE fan of. But if I want to do something fairly mindless, but still requiring some small effort on my part, since I'm not married, I have few options other than video games.
I've heard rumors that Nintendo's new system will be a lot more innovative than the rest of the next-gen consoles. Wireless controllers are great, but come on, my vcr's ahead in that tech department by about 40 years. I'm talking pressure sensitive EVERYTHING, not just buttons and joysticks; different possible controller setups so you're not so reliant on, say, a left thumb; just give me something that moves the industry forward instead of keeping it where it is so it can stagnate.
So in closing, if you're a video game enthusiast, like I know just about everyone who bothers to read this is, don't break your thumb. At least not till Nintendo starts its Revolution. It's pretty sad to see Link swinging his sword and throwing his boomerang, but never being able to move from the spot he's standing in.
