Not liking games

So I once "talked" to some guy on a forum who said he didn't like video games. I inquired further and he said that he hated all video games. Now I'm all about everyone having freedom of speech and though but in this case I think he has misinterpreted his own opinion. I can see why he may not like some video games but saying you hate all video games is like saying you hate all films or you hate all music. Everyone likes some kind of music even if its that terror core stuff that you could replicated by hitting a dustbin with a dead cat four-hundred times a minute. There are all kinds of games just like there are all types of film and music. For example from the seat in which I am seated now I have done all of the following things with games: I have discussed politics online in mmos, I have stalked the streets of Los Angeles as a vampire, I have explored the wastes of solthsiem as a werewolf, I have taken over entire galaxies, I have created a galactic trade empire, I have enslaved a race of elfs, I have destabilized various nations, I have been nano-augmented and been cast into a world of conspiracies to name a few.
The thing is thats just me. Those are the kinds of games that I play. For others there are train/plane/boat/submarine simulators, horse riding games, puzzle games, sport games and even various mini games for casual gamers. The point I'm trying to make is that games are as versatile as films and music and books. Saying you hate all games is just being closed minded. Even my own mother spends time playing scrabble or jewel quest. I understand if you don't like certain games but all of them is just stupid.

Feeling Lucky Punk

So as Dirty Harry once put it "you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" Now Ive been thinking what is luck? It doesn't really exist does it? It's just a feeling like happiness or depression and should therefore be disregarded as a means of making decisions. I know from personal experience that gut reactions without logically thinking through the problem end in failure 9 time out of 10 so should we really try and get away from Dirty Harry just because of a gut reaction?

Mac=Windows=Linux

Ok so I just got back from Lichfield after spending most of the weekend at the Jazz and Blues festival there and I think that the best thing to do now is to completely neglect to write anything about it here and talk about the equality of the three major operating systems at the moment.
So let me explain. The way I see it the best way to describe it is through cars. My pc for example is a Ferrari Enzo. A little old and not as powerful as some of the more modern cars but still good. Of course being a car it has an engine and a steering wheel. Now the engine of course represents the computer itself. The steering wheel however is the OS. If I take that steering wheel out and replace it with a different one the car is still just as good as it used to be.
This is like a computer. If you change the OS on the computer then its still just as good. Its whats in the computer that counts not what OS it runs. For this reason I think all the OSs are equal. Sure one may do something better but another will be better at other things. If I run windows 7 on a pc with 4gig of ram and a 2.6 mhz quad core processor it is going to run just as well as the same pc with Snow Leopard installed. The OS is just a program to be run before running other programs. Sure windows has more compatible games, Linux is more complicated and mac is easier to use but in the end it all comes down to what you prefer and what you need it for.
They are all the same. Get over it.

(also wii, ps3 and xbox360 are down to personal preference as well so are also equal. Take note however that android is superior to the I-Phone in every way.)

Football

So the world cup has started and I'm as interested in it as I am that tree across the road. I don't quite understand why people enjoy watching twenty-two people kick a ball from one end of a pitch to the other for forty-five minutes at which point they switch sides and do it again. All in aid of winning an overly elaborate cup (I would also like to take this time to point out its not even a cup theres nowhere to put your drink in it). There isn't even anything to be proud of. So what if eleven people in your country are the best group of football players in the last four years, thats like the Chinese being proud that they are the worlds top potato producers in 2006 (yes I looked that up). I don't even see why its so exciting. Now heres an idea. Give all the footballers saucepan helmets and claymores and we can start talk about exciting.

Now isn't that better?

Wow. This marks a huge milestone in the blog. I have a follower :)

Ironing

So ironing. I understand the idea behind it I just don't get it if you see what I mean. The way I see it is that you iron your shirts/trousers/socks/cat (actually please don't iron your cat I like cats) after washing them to make them look neat. That I understand but why do you have to look neat every day? Ironing your shirts every day means that there is no distinction between when you are trying to look neat, for say a job interview or a wedding, and when you are not trying to be neat, for example school or normal life. For this reason I reckon its best to iron your clothing items when doing something important like a job interview or a date (although maybe they're the same thing I don't have much experience) but don't iron them every time you wash them. You end up wasting your time and electricity. Time and electricity that could be used watching Star Trek or writing meaningless blog posts that maybe one person is going to read.

Comments

Now I understand we are all comedians but any comments relating to the game will be deleted. I mean seriously don't you have anything better to do? I guess posting this blog on facebook was a bad idea knowing my friends but we all make mistakes. Yes we do. all of us. Don't sit there thinking "well he might but I don't" Because you do.

And so it begins...

Well I guess this is the start of something beautiful. Or not. Only time will tell but I will warn you now these posts will probably have no structure. In fact it will be unlikely that there will be any correlation between posts. I may make a post about a game I played followed by one about monkeys. I may make comments on various pieces of news and some stuff may actually be important.... Sorry about that I think the sensible part of me took over for a moment. I understand few people will be reading this first post and probably the next few but hopefully I may get a regular viewer someday. Or even someone who finds this blog and reads half a post would be nice but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Alternatively if you are reading this then welcome. Welcome to my blog. I hope it brings you momentary amusement.
