VIDEO GAMES!

7:00 am

Good morning reader! Thing is my roommate had to leave at 5 for some affairs. Being a light sleeper, annoyingly here I am wide awake. 
I haven't seen the morning sun in so long, went to the roof, touched the dew drops when I suddenly got an Andrew Tate level motivation to write, so here I am. Let's talk about them video games!

To begin with I've only witnessed a little part of the great history of video games myself. I haven't been part of the ps2 era although I currently own one with no games to play with (insert sad face). Most of my earlier experience comes with pc games.



The oldest games I remember playing was them flash player games. They had these Bin Laden games no kidding. One of them is called Bomb Laden, the dude pops up in the desert and you bomb him. There was another where you get to beat him up till he died. Some propaganda shit and I had no clue who the man was.


Oof got to a bad start huh. Don't worry reader, it does not get worse hopefully. We had this operating system called linux which comes with tons of pre installed software. Lots of games over there. I remember playing tuxcart with my cousin (something like mariokart) all night when I stayed over there. Ah those late night gaming. I even remember sleeping at 4 and throwing up the next morning. (tmi)

Ah yes then it came. My dad finally got a pc. I watched as the IT guy set it up and when I politely asked if he had any games. With a smile he took out a CD bag. Its something like a paper file with plastic cases for CD and DVDs. I watched the screen as the CD whined inside the box. There it was. Vice City! Every cool kid had one. It was the most exquisite item one could get their hands on. The guy asked me if I knew the cheat codes. Me pretending to smart said I knew a few. I did know a few. You used to byheart them cos you always needed them. And then I went playing it over and over for god knows how many times that I remember every mission. The intro music still gives me the chills. Jus look it up on YouTube.


Later played lots of games from all categories till studies got tough. And tried them phone games too. It'd be a terrible monotonous lecture if I kept on narrating all the games I played.

So yeah what's the point in me going on and on about video games? Everyone's got a different childhood. I've been terrible with outdoor activities to be honest so yes it's created it's own world with its own experiences for me which I can never regret. The sense of achievement was super high especially with the effort put in with video games. Speaking of which... 




I have no hatred for the people who play these, but we deserve better right?

If you made it this far, thank you for the effort. Hope you have an amazing day.
Love yourself and keep pushing!


Until next time

"A Whisper In Your Head"

  Dear reader, We’ve made it! Thirty days. Whew!              This will be my final entry for the 30 th consecutive day dear reader. Exactly thirty days ago, our professor Dr. S. Samuel Rufus suggested in class that we take up a thirty-day blog writing challenge. The rules are simple. Be consistent and have at least 300 words in each blog. Since we did not have any exams on the horizon, I signed up, along with a couple of guys from our department.       Now starting the blog, I was in high spirits. If you scroll down the blog, you can see my first entry, “The Mean Little Flower”. I had previously asked my professor some writing tips. He suggested that I find something that catches my attention, even if it be a silly thing. So yes, that was my first blog, the mean flower. I am very proud of that!      I have tried to keep my blog as much related to literature as possible. It was inte...

Did The Salesman Deserve To Die?

                     I’ve heard about this play ever since I’ve read the play The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. Now that I have watched the Arthur Miller's play Death of a Salesman (1966) starring Lee J. Cobb, I cannot wait to share my thoughts. Firstly, I would like to comment on the stunning performance by Lee J. Cobb as Willy Loman, the protagonist, the delusional salesman. I had previously watched him in the film 12 Angry Men (please watch it, you’ll thank me later) and here too he does a great job in depicting emotions that I feel I would have never realized had I read the play.  The link to the play on YouTube:   https://youtu.be/Y7lGIUzUKOE?si=wmecuYXAsknxNt8X        I shall try not to spoil it too much for you as I give you a brief summary of the play. The play introduces us to an ageing salesman, Willy Loman who has just returned from New York to h...

The Little Prince and his Little Rose

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly: what is essential is invisible to the eye.” -       -  The Fox, The Little Prince         A beautiful absolute charm of a novel, The Little Prince by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry goes way up top of my most favourite reads. The nature of the supposedly ‘children’s fable’ would leave you thinking for weeks at least, with its little yet deeply thoughtful musings about childhood and the hard parts of growing up.         Now although there are many lovely stories told by our Little Prince from the alien asteroid planet B612, I would like to bring you to the attention of the lonely rose that sprouted up out all of a sudden in the garden of the Prince. Although there were other flowers in the small garden, the rose stood unique with its special arrangement of flowers The Prince had never seen in other plants.      ...
