Personification of a Platform
Gaming is a huge part of my life and it’s a constant struggle to jockey time between gaming, work, love and who knows what else. I know I’m not alone, so goes the life of a gamer.
What’s worth a read today is Allen Cook’s light ramblings about the perils of PC gaming and a brief history of his time with Xbox Live, from a humorous side. It won’t require too much of your time, so if you’re looking for a quick five minute mental break in the office, check it out. Here’s a snippet:

Usually I’d click on Rise of Legends and she’d be ready for some action. There towards the end though, I’d click her buttons and then she’d set fire to my lawn. I’d try to launch Skype and the next morning all my underwear would be hanging from the tree in my front yard. I don’t even know how she got it up there. At that point, I swore her off forever. No more multiplayer PC games for me. Then after that happened about 5 more times, I actually quit.
Then you come back into my life with Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas. And you’ve had some work done yourself. This new wireless freedom is great, you and I can go anywhere together. It’s completely uninhibited. I can still be playing while I grab a beer, or a sandwich, or even go to the toilet. Your interface is slicker than ever, and I can never get enough of your voice chat. Your new games are simply beautiful, I’m stunned. You and I have had more fun with Gears of War than I ever had with that crazy ex of mine. I’m all about you, I can’t get enough.”
