Video games these days, seriously how much more realistic can they get? I am almost scared to see how the new generation consoles will be like. Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Revolution, they will all be on high definition from what i've heard, along with more powerful CPU's and other hardware which quals even more realistic looking 3-d, maybe even 4-d graphics. Imagine playing a video game that looks like a movie, the people look 100% real life like. I dont know if i'd like games in 4-d though, I like games the way they are now, 3-d, realistic looking, but not TO realistic. Although a game like Mortal Kombat would look rather interesting looking, like real life people getting their limbs torn off, and real life looking blood spewing out. That would be nuts! The whole reason I started this post is because I have been playing a lot of Medal Of Honor: Frontline. The very first level, the one on the beach, forgot the name of it, Omaha Beach or something. Anyway, that level is so realistic, it feels like your really fighting in World War 2. Soldiers getting shot down and exploding by mines right next to you, Nazi soldiers in bunkers firing at you, it's nuts! It's like when I get shot, and the controller rumbles, it's almost as if I kinda feel like im really getting shot, a short sharp pain in my arm at times lol... And I only get a pain like that when im playing the game, it's really weird. I love my games though, they really are great when your bored, and theres nothing else to do. Im not fortunate enough to afford to buy and own all three systems, so I really love my Gamecube, one of my most prized possessions. I now have a collection of 16 games for my GC, which some game freaks may see as a small collection, seeing as how Ive had my Gamecube for 4 years now, but im all proud of my lil collection. I have a nice collection to, Sports games, RPG's, Action games, fighting games, I basically have almost all genres for the mood that i'm in. I also have a shit load of games on my PC, as well as a few N64 games, and PSone, but I play my GC more than all those combined. Anyway moving on! I bet some of you are pretty bored with all my game talk, blah, blah, blah! Well my brother left for Miluakee(sp) Wisconsin today, wish I could have gone, I love to travel and go to new towns/cities when I can. As a matter of fact, when I have the money in the future, id love to travel the world, Berlin Germany, Ireland, London England, Tokyo Japan (Anime baby!!), Iceland, Africa, etc... That would be awesome. Speaking of Iceland, isnt it funny how Iceland is called Iceland yet is a warm, tropical island, and Greenland is a cold wintery ice land? Seems like whoever was naming those countries was high and got the names mixed up lol. Well, the weekend is over, another work week will begin tomorrow. Guess I should feel lucky I have a job, and will be going back to school soon. So many people, like me, always complain about having to go to work, but without work, id have no money at all, and well, can't do anything, or have any fun without money. Well you CAN have fun without money but a lot of stuff you cannot do without cold hard cash baby! So basically work = fun... weird isnt it? I guess I could have it worse, my jobs not that bad, at least im not doing hard physical labor. Like a man once said, work smarter, not harder. I feel bad for people who were never fortunate to learn new skills or go to college, so they have to work 2-3 hard laboring jobs just to survive, it's not any fun, and hard laboring jobs do shorten your life span, too much stress, and over working of the body, not very good for you. But, no offense to those of you who are like that, but I guess it's their faults for not being motivated enough to learn new skills or go to college to make life easier and more pleasurable. I feel fortunate that my family pushed me into going to college, and help me pay for it. Even if they werent able to help me pay for it, I would have found a way to pay for it all by myself, because college is the way these days, no college means having a very stressful life later on down the road, and it's sad most people dont understand that. I can completely relate to, and understand those who dont wanna go to college because they hated public school, especially high school. But they need to realize college is completely different, I think college is pretty fun. I hated public school all my life for the most part, high school sucked. I mean I was semi popular, i wasnt a loner geek or anything that felt sorry for myself, but I just didnt like school, i'd skip school all the time with my skater/stoner friends, go smoke a bunch of weed and skateboard all day and go home pretending like I was at school all day to fool my parents, and 95% of the time i did fool them. It was really cool sometimes to cause at my school, if you missed so many days in a school year, they would call your house to check up on you if your parents didnt call in sick for you or whatever, sp me and my friends would call in and make our voices deeper to make them sound like or fathers, and wed call in sick, and BAM problem solved. I must admit that was fun. But college is really awesome, I skip classes here and there at college to, but not because I dont like them, just cause I either have something else to attend to, or I know im doing well in the class and I just skip it cause I feel like it and I know it wont do any damage to my grades. I guess college is also better because there are not as many restricting and controlling rules as there are in public schools, mainly because in public schools, they pay for your education, in college your paying for it so they cant really say anything. In high school and below, there were always dress codes, some schools have uniforms now a days (Ouch!) and you couldnt wear hats and so on. In college I can wear whatever the hell I want, I ALWAYS wear hats to my classes, and the fact that we are all adults, we have more freedom of speech and expression without our professor saying "Hey you cant say or do that around here!" Hell most of the professors agree with us, or think we are pretty cool for some of the things we say and do, and thats also very cool. As much as I love college I still can't wait for the day I graduate, and become a certified computer programmer. Move to a nice big city (Yes, im a city boy!) like Houston or Chicago, work for a computer company, make good money doing a job that I enjoy. Move into a nice big house in a nice suberb neighborhood, settle down, get married, and start a family with my girl Aimee. Have enough money to pay the bills and enough left over to go out and have fun, have the finer things in life.... Now THATS the life baby! I know this will probabaly never happen until im in my 40's or 50's, but id also like to own three different houses someday. A city house, a country house, and a nice mountain cabin, for those times when im on vacation from my career, and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. I may be a city boy, but I also enjoy the quiet peaceful serenity of the country/mountains. Not to mention you can party hardcore in the country without any real worries! HELL YEAH! Well, thats all for now, peace out everyone!
