tick tock
The hours I have spent on my x-box. Uncountable. Total fun fun fun and sad as it may sound I’ve met (virtually of course) quite a few people who are totally cool and wicked. My favorite game (I am a little out of date for reasons not relevant to this writing piece) is Gears of War. The first one. playing live online has consume many a happy hour, ok, so I lie. I have spent many a happy night, the whole night through, yes, the whole night right through to the sun dawning, playing, engaging, fighting and scrapping on the dear beloved x-box. How is it that something so unreal can bring out so many emotions? I have laughed, cried, screamed, stressed, been bewildered and frustrated by the pixels on the screen, the voice of other players, the banter and humility as my chainsaw missed it’s target, as my rifle jammed and left me in the middle of an ambush with no back up from my comrads. It is truly a full body experience which I wholly recommend. I didn’t buy the subsequent version, Gears of War II, whatever it was called. My life had moved on. I no longer needed the escapism that Gears of War I gave me. That life is left behind. though I do look back and smile. I wonder what my virtual friends are doing, whether they miss my chainsaw action and wonder about where I have disappeared to. I doubt it. Life in the virtual world of online gaming is fast-paced, people come and go. But it served it’s purpose at the time and for that I am thankful.
Just before I go, lets talk work a little bit, I have just added the design on the email marketing software page, what do you all think about it? And before you say anything Nadine, yes we all know that you could have done it better…
