Art is a mirror of our times. This mirrors the mass shootings that get reported in the news every so often. The game definitely creeps me out. I wonder how the game deals with this character's fate. He clearly wants to be gunned down. Does he get his wish?
Playing: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel all day Sunday and Monday.
Watching: Cinemassacre's Monster Madness 2014 every day in October. It's James Rolfe's (aka Angry Video Game Nerd) series of Horror movie reviews he does every year. They're fun.
Reading: Almost finished Freud's Interpretation of Dreams which is a very dry read, but interesting; and continuing James Joyce's Ulysses on audiobook. What an odd book that is.
Eating: Maybe a bunch of Chipotle and the usual microwave popcorn and hot chocolate with marshmallows.
I always wanted to try an F1 game. I was eyeing the TOCA Race Driver series a while back but never got to try it. It sounds like these games go super deep into the sport.
Interesting. Frued says the one thing you omit when retelling a dream is the key to the dream. I'm not saying that means it's something salacious, although it could be, just important in some way.
I hope I'm not bugging you too much with this Freudian analysis, which has become a bit of joke in modern times (remember the SNL skit with Dan Aykroyd and Laraine Newman?), I just like to apply what I'm reading and see is true or not true.
I went to Dave & Busters once and was really disappointed. It was all Moto GP and Wave Race type games where you ride on a plastic bike or jet boat and borderline gambling machines. I think there were like two classic arcade games there: Pac Man and maybe Galaga, but nothing cool like Mario Kart Arcade or a Mobile Suit Gundam P.O.D.. I never went back there.
Oh yea! His meditation chamber! Totally! Ha! He was probably Sonic or Mario in there so no one would know.
If there were some of these at Dave & Busters, I might even go once in a while.
That's right. Run for you life. I've got a new favorite word and I'm going to use it in every possible situation. Muhahahaa!!!
