I'm Just a Minature Plumber On A Quest to Save the World
That title is a lie. Ahem. But it refers to me playing Mario, which, unsuprisingly, got me thinking. (Can't write a blog without thinking).
It's a one of a time deathmatch, Real Life vs Computer Games! (Yeah, I was gonna have clever images but didn't have anywhere to host them). So, I finally figured out the one thing I would have in life if I could have anything, an adventure. Preferbally to save the world. That's why I love games so much, and probably why most people do. It's not (no matter what the media says) because we like killing things or being evil, its because it's escapism from the mundane everyday world. I'll pull up an example from the last game I played, Morrowind. In that I've saved the world more times than I have fingures, am a hero and live for adventure. Here I sit at home, write blogs and surf the web. When you compare the two, which life would you choose? And so we play computer games. Somebody should tell the media, we're not all sadastic murders, we're people who like to get away from real life! Not that I would protest to saving the world, killing the bad guy and getting the girl in real life of course....still waiting for that adventure to happen.
Wow, that had very little to do with anything, and I have no idea why I ranted about it. Suppose I'm bored, and wish something exciting would happen. And I got through this blog without mentiong that I get my exam results tomorrow!...Oops.
