Can’t Touch This!

I was reading the newspaper (I do that from time to time) the other day and came across an article in the business section about how the current recession hasn’t even touched the video game industry. It seems to be chugging along just fine, if not getting stronger. And something that excited me even more is that it seems as though Canada is now the number 3 producer of video games coming in behind Japan and the US. Go us!!

It’s nice to see that some companies are continueing to thrive while the economy takes a nose dive. Even better that it’s in an industry that I enjoy! I work in the funeral industry and we’re also continuing to do business as usual. People generally don’t hold back their demise due to economic uncertainty so my job is safe for now! At least until we figure out immortality. Then I’m going to have  a big problem …

  • It only makes sense that a pass-time that revolves around spending as little time traveling/spending money (even the pay-to-play games) as possible is thriving with people having less money to spend. :D While the Pay-to-play games might still cost money, they’re usually significantly cheaper than if we were to go to the beach or out to dinner and a movie, and they last much longer.

  • I hear that those in the funeral industry are making a killing right now on wall street :p

    sorry, worst pun of all time, but I just had to say it >.<
