Gaming Nerd

Crap, over the last four days, I've almost literally seperated myself from the world and parked myself in front of my TV in my basement playing Chrono Cross. Years ago, when Pokemon was where it's at, I could get so caught up in the game, that I'm pretty much isolated from the real world and lose track of time, space, food, sleep, everything; oddly enough, I am kind of getting that feeling again this time around.

I guess that my plan, when I was able to do it, was to take on this game and beat it as fast as I can just so I can fill the starving empty void that I've had for the last however many years. One thing I didn't look out for, was that of being swallowed by the game completely. I'm very passionate about my gaming; I don't play games very often, but when I find one that I enjoy, I can be completely engaged in it as if I was in the game. Chrono Cross just so happened to be the first victim that I fell into and, well, it has been a lot of fun, to say the least.

If I stick to my plan, I should be able to divide up my hours and finish the game in two days or less; it all depends on how much studying I actually do. I know it's exam season, so having access to the game now is not the greatest timing. What the heck, my first exam isn't until Monday. What makes Chrono Cross so captivating, though, is that the story is so complex on its own that you could literally use this story and make it a literature study thing for an English class. Actually, comparing to the stuff I studied this year, Chrono Cross would be of more interest to me to study instead of The Englishman's Boy. Maybe it can be a film study, haha.

Well, good thing I'm old now, and being old means I am more aware of priorities and stuff like that, so I can actually guilt myself into studying instead of playing games and wasting time all day.

After exams, I'm going to go all out:
a) buy my Playstation 2 (it's cheap now)
b) maybe look for a memory card too - just in case
c) Final Fantasy IX
d) Chrono Cross, again
e) find a job, haha
