warning: boring content(to some people) read at your own risk.


you know, i've come to realize(or so i think i have) why i have always been playing games in such a hardcore manner. like when i played final fantasy 7, and just recently, ' The World Ends With You ' its a game i played on my bro's Nintendo DS. completed the whole thing in 3 days. right, so going back to the realization parts. i noticed the reason why i play it non-stop. people would think that the game is addicting. fun, game-play wise which causes addiction. well, i cant deny the fact that i was hooked on it, but its not because its fun.. its because of the story.

now whats up with that? well.. i, like many others love a good story. its just that i like my stories in a form of videos and games. well videos are obvious. but games, its just a different sort of experience. i don't really know how to explain it. why i get hooked to games like the one i just finished is simply because of the story. i liked the story the game was telling. and just like anime, i like to finish the story in one shot. kinda like the way i watch my anime non stop, i play the game semi non stop. cos i cant go nonstop with games. i'll get screwed.

games like these give me a little motivation sometimes. i said on my blog last time that whenever i sleep, i would make stories in my mind. and i sometimes get clear visions.. really strange. i literally see what i think, when my eyes are closed. its like my brain is the projector and my eyelids are the screen. most of the time, i would envision what i have just watched or played. sometimes i would edit them a little here and there to make it the way i like it. sometimes, i would get this idea, and start thinking it out. the idea is kinda like a script. and i'd draw it out with my mind, and if i'm lucky it will play on my eyelids. all these will sound like kiddy mentality to people. if thats what people think, then call me kiddy brain. why motivating you may ask. well, like i said, a little only. motivates me to want to write a story, to draw my story. thats all, sadly.

so, about that new game i just finished(about 30mins ago) i really loved the story. perhaps i'd make a version of it in my head. maybe edit a little of it here and there. or possibly, even script up a little sequel or spinoff with my mind. you know, you always get that thirst to know what will happen after the end. i just like to make mine. perhaps i can write it down for real what i've scripted in my mind.

maybe to some, all this is just an excuse. all this, is just to cover the fact that i am totally addicted to gaming. so be it then.
