Your logic may not root here says:
Thats a nice point mel. Now if i was an angry Gunbound fan, what would i say?
Ah yes. exactly this,
"You cant compare shakespeare to GB! Shakespeare is different, where all you do is sit in a weird chair and watch people in odd costumes talk weirdly. The plots are also cliche and cheesy. And you do nothing but sit there"
Your logic may not root here says:
However, there is a certain addicting touch to gunbound: rewards and goals
Your logic may not root here says:
You see mel, in gunbound, you are that sole worm (or vehicle). You turn only comes once in a while, unlike worms
Your logic may not root here says:
yes you return when you die
Your logic may not root here says:
But whenever you pull off a marvelous shot, or a win, you gain gold
Your logic may not root here says:
As this gold accumulates, it can be used to buy items that make you even more powerful. You also climb up in rank.
Your logic may not root here says:
prestige, popularity, and wealth. all in that little virtual world
Your logic may not root here says:
that is GB in a nutshell
Your logic may not root here says:
if you were listening, of course
lies. says:
delusion. escapism. STUPIDITY.
lies. says:
sounds like me.
Your logic may not root here says:
What sounds like you.
Your logic may not root here says:
a game?
lies. says:
the whole idea of wanting escape and only getting fake and temporary satisfaction [in this case, the 'gold']
lies. says:
all rather meaningless in the end isnt it.
Your logic may not root here says:
not in the real world no.
Your logic may not root here says:
But some find it entertaining
Your logic may not root here says:
to be superior
Your logic may not root here says:
"to have more gold than you"
Your logic may not root here says:
it is also a form of competition and challenge
lies. says:
urgh
lies. says:
male ego and whatnot
lies. says:
same goes with soccer
Your logic may not root here says:
Now please understand i am not defending gunbound. I am merely telling you what it is.
lies. says:
all abt feeding the damn male ego
Your logic may not root here says:
Not exactly mel. Apparently 40+% of the gunbound population is female.
lies. says:
stupid girls

i don't think i will ever understand what is so gripping about games such as gunbound, FIFA, NBA, runescape or whatever. at least warcraft has its qualities and drawpoints and so does MVC. i suppose my brothers will argue that i waste money on books while they waste money on computer games. in my case i really don't view it as a waste, but neither do they in their situation.. so. oh well. GP ct tmr. have really not studied any. not even the techniques. failing it will be like failing english and that will be an intolerable embarrassment which i'm trying to prepare myself for. in preparation for gp read the sunday times and am amused by the amount of coverage EURO 2004 gets. actually found self reading sports section because i find it highly entertaining how all these journalists slam and criticize beckham and critically compare rooney to pele. it's like an indepth review of a book, except this time it's how well a man uses his feet.

but passion is passion is passion [is it not?]

it's sort of amazing how sport draws the world together and inspires nations. these men are more than players chasing after a simply designed ball full of air. they are the hope of their respective countries. they represent some sort of invincibility every man dreams of but can never understand. just a little something i witnessed while watching the world cup.

watching soccer is seriously like fulfilling some sort of fantasy for guys. it's why that's all they talk about at the dining table. 'who do you think is going to win?' 'what's the name of that liverpool striker?' 'no! -so-and-so- is trash!' 'what is zidane doing?' 'they deserve to get kicked out! they sucked! i'm so angry!'

i think it's like how i'm able to watch You've Got Mail a million times and still enjoy it.

unfortunately i don't understand why guys always turn to mindless distractions such as wrestling and the ps2 to relax. on the contrary, girls seem to use their free time to seek more clarity and development of some sort.

alright, so shopping is not exactly an action of spiritual understanding.

though seriously everytime i look at soccer players i think of how they can barely speak properly and the air between their ears. who wants to marry one? not me. not you. not anyone. no matter how many matches girls subject themselves to just because fredrik ljungberg is playing. then again, maybe there are such superficial people in the world who can live with a feast for eyes but not for the brain.

ok i think this is just a bad case of pms. i don't really know what i'm talking about. i'm scared for gp because if i write like this in my expositary essay i will get an F, hands down.
