Chris' Semester Without Video Games: Week 3

Sorry for the late post!

I suddenly find myself thinking about games more and more often. In my head. My circumstances, however, seem to changing more and more. For instance, I got hooked on a site called prize rebel (it really works!). After I got enough points, I received a code for a 1 month Runescape membership. So I have that to keep me occupied. But I also ordered Rainbow Six Vegas 2 from the same site, and my inability to play it when it is delivered is frustrating me. Also, over the past week (probably from playing the iPhone game) I have seemingly developed a craving to play Assasin's Creed. This doesn't help the equation much at all. Also, there are numerous upcoming games that I want, but I must save up for my Dragon Boat World Championships in Praque. Stay tuned for week 4, and see all the continuing drama and build up!

NOTE: Due to my unsuccessful attempts, I won't be doing anything concerning binaural beats. I will leave the post up, but don't expect any updates.

Also, if you would like to use Prize Rebel, please use my referral link!

Chris' Semester Without Video Games: Week 2

Hello again. I'm at week two of my semester without video games. Temporary effects? Yes. Any developing mental symptoms/disorders? No. I have noticed however that I've been thinking about games more often. When I realize I can't play them, I revert to a "bout 3 minute emotional slump". I don't think this experience will be emotionally scarring or anything. I just watched Borat (best movie ever), which lifted my spirits somewhat. Can't always get what you want, but I certainly get what I need. Anyway, see you at week 3!

A New Feature! - Your Brain on Binareal Beats

Hello loyal readers. I have recently read about a device called "Binareal Beats". This type of music can cause deep meditation and is often used to invoke a lucid dream (you know your dreaming, and hence can control your dreams). This effect is created by creating brain wave frequencies different than those naturally created in sleep. This tells your brain that it is in fact, dreaming.

Armed with this new found info and a couple Binareal lucid dream MP3s, I will sleep each night. Obviously, I'll sleep. But I will also keep on the look out for any and all "lucid dreams" and each time something strange occurs, I will blog it here immediately. So in addition to the previous feature that I am running every weekend until June 20, I will also be doing this one. Hooray, more added stress.

Would you like to try Binareal Beats? How about Lucid Dreaming?

Duke Nukem Forever Dies Along With 3D Realms - But We Have Gameplay!

Yes, after 12 years of waiting, Duke Nukem forever has finally become vaporware, along with its developer 3D Realms. It was inevitable, really. A dev however, took it upon himself to release a gameplay video of some of the now dead product. And I must say, THE GAME LOOKS AMAZING! I've never seen anything as cool looking as this game. Below (or above) this text you will find the gameplay video. Please note that THIS VIDEO IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES! There is light nudity, and much language to be had. Not to mention violence. But If you care to take a look, then look. And etch it into your mind. We need Valve or someone to pick this game up!

Chris' Semester Without Video Games: The Shocking Feature

I have not been the best student, for most of my school career. But recently, my parents have decided to step up to the plate and take away things (about time!). I recently had a choice: Keep my iPod Touch, or be able to play all my consoles. I think I'm supposed to be diagnosed with dementia, because I chose the iPod over my games! Now I'm stuck with it. So in order to make it a learning experience, I've decided to craft this feature. I have until June 20th. I will blog every Saturday (if not, then Sunday) about my continually decreasing mental state. If that does indeed happen. Anyhow, I'll see you at week 2!


I got locked out of my blog!

Sorry for the extreme lack of posts! Blogger f'ed up and my blog dissapeared from my account! I resolved the problem, but that's no consolation for you, the reader. In addition, I haven't thought about this blog very much, because I've been so overwhelmed with schoolwork. So to make up for my/ Blogger's stupidity, I will try to post twice as much. Maybe even reaching 2 posts a day. But that would make me seem like I have no life wouldn't it? Oh well, thats not really much of a change...
