Well my plan was to write shorter posts
and more often...that worked out well then! What you won't realise
is that I've already just written that and more. I'm writing that
again because the Blogger site had decided to crash and take the 300
or so words I wrote down with it. But I have adapted as any hero
must, by writing again. I think I was going to write about the rise
of “time-killing” games on phones. That's a strange thought
“killing time” doing an activity to become less aware of the
passage of time. It seems to suggest that for the time you are
playing the game, you are not participating in your own life. You
are waiting for a certain amount of time to pass until you re-join
your own life. I must admit that I enjoy playing games, and perhaps
could be using my time more wisely. Wouldn't it be good if time
playing the games actually went towards improving our lives,
perhaps earning us money or helping us learn a new skill. I'm sure
there are apps out there that do that, and maybe some in the form of
games. If anyone has thoughts about this let me know. In the
meantime I'm playing a great game on the phone called Castle Doombad,
it's a variation of the tower defence games, and it's really good. A
very satisfying game with great gameplay, animation and humour, time just simply flies while one's playing it...
I'm playing Gemini Rue on my phone and time speeds up so much that sometimes I darn't play it. I use to call my ds3 a time machine when I had a job that required me to do nothing, it was handy then. I wonder if I could get that job back...hmm..the good old days, or were they?
ReplyDeleteGood old days indeed! I remember times in my youth where I seem to have an infinite amount of time to play games. I certainly enjoyed it, but now I'm just as interested in playing the game of life. Gemini Rue looks fabulous, I think I'll get it.
