When you are feeling low what would you generally do? Various people have myriad ways of dealing with depression. Some eat till they burst, comfort food it's called, some get manic about chores around the house, some just walk until they realise they've walked miles without noticing, some cook, some consume alcohol...for me....its leading a virtual life. When i feel everything has begun to fail i become an avid gamer! People play for entertainment, i play to win at least at something!! My life savior, my ipod touch, my world of new possibilities!
From brandishing my sword in 'Heroes of Sparta' i jump on a boat and am off fishing looking for the biggest catch, then conviniently i jump in behind the wheels and race across street in timed challenges. Sometimes at a battle of words, sometimes laying pipes as a plumber in 'toobz', there are so many roles you can play, swap lives, don new identities, create new levels of expertise. But what takes the cake, i guess is Sorority Life on facebook. It's about shopping, bitching, new glam, getting house members, taking up jobs for sustenance and being the most influential person ever! You can clad yourself in a cute short valentine's dress or a classy summer yukata, (without worrying about weight, as your prototype is perfectly in shape to flaunt all sorts of styles) and have the hottest rides, the newest prada accessories and all things your feminine heart craves for without spending a penny!! Change hair colours, cuts and get makeovers within seconds, it's pure indulgence for a woman.
Points and levels, being your claim to fame and brownie points your rewards, you can feel appreciated and wanted. Things that are non-existent in your work place. So here's to gaming which has been taken to new heights in the recent past. And here's to my second love my apple ipod - my portal to a world of excitement and glory. What would i ever do without you?
