of blogging and fragging
Friday, December 14, 2007
my blog posts now outnumber the posts from November. I guess i just have lots of time for relaxation. I have always contemplated the immense value of penning your thoughts into a diary of some sort, when you're old and grey, you'd look back and remember all those times in your youth, rather than rely on your failing memory.
Well, i'm very sure that come January, I surely won't be as free to blog so much. In amy case, i tried attaching a pop-up cbox or conventional cbox to this blog, from
www.cbox.ws/ but everytime i tried i seem to be doing something wrong with code. I have no idea how to do code, so i'll just leave it as that until tech support comes back online. Aka mark or ben helps me. Heheh.
I just got my veteran anti tank combat badge today on bf2. twenty-three kills, three deaths.
When i was reviewing my bf2 stats at
www.bf2s.com (my username is Inmate_47 if you are curious), i decided to check up other players i knew. apparently this guy i know has clocked up 840 hours playing bf2. For comparison, i only approach 180 hours. The question begs to be answered, will i grow up and at 30, still be playing computer games? I always found the notion very strange. My parents have never touched this-generation computer games, and the only time they did was those type of Reader Rabbit educational games so that we could play them. When i was in secondary three and playing bf2, i felt good when i beat so many players to get the highscore, being just 15. The sometimes i hear kids playing who haven't even broken their voice, and i wonder, should i be playing by the time i'm nineteen?
I think i ought to stop it at 19. Army buddies can be playing computer games, but the older you get, the more you are expected to do, the larger the workload. I tell myself that now, but who are we, a generation of kids who grew up with computer games, to say how easily we can control our wishes to frag? If i do have a family in the future, i definitely would want to set an example to my kids, as my parents have done, to at the very least, have some sense of responsible gaming.
