Games Can Change Your Life

a lot of people might say that video games are a waste of time, and that little of value comes from them. Well aside from all the hopeful scientific research that claims that it increases awareness or some bollocks, I think occasionally it does have a very real impact on your life. Well one did for me.

for example when I saw the game guitar hero, I vowed that I would never spend time mastering a game like that. The reason being that I have been on and off playing guitar for a number of years, and would feel better playing the real guitar instead!

One hung-over Saturday morning however, my housemate buys the game… and predictably I play it, and get a little hooked. I even got to a respectable standard on a few songs.

Here is me playing raining blood by Slayer:

But one day I casted it aside! no more! I thought, purchased a new guitar* and began to practice.

Here is a picture of me practicing:

I feel much better about it. But recently wondered why a desire to not want to waste time mastering a game, but do it for real was only limited to guitar hero?

I have played a lot of GTA. perhaps I should have stopped wasting my time and take my criminal ways to the streets! After all you start off with less money in that game than I have now… What about counter strike? I think maybe I should join up with some terrorists as a part of my new Grand Theft Auto style lifestyle.

Obviously I don’t get do-overs, saves and things like that, but then I have already had a lot of practice at the games so I wont need them, right?

If there are no more posts on this blog you can rest assured that I have finally realised my dream of forcing fantasy into reality.

* Every time I had been poor up until now my guitar had been turned into food with the cunning use of ebay

Thug Mask Prank

Some things make you chuckle and simultaneously crap your pants

Recently sat in the office minding my own business, looking at some porn work when some wierd looking guy marches in saying they have a delivery for someone.

When that person is identified he marches over and throws the box in their face, shouting and being generally abusive. This person gets out of his chair and is backing away with a small wet patch appearing between their legs… considering writing about it in their blog later… I imagine… err – obviously it wasn’t me… LOL! I’m far too tough to cower…

anyway:

Turns out he was wearing a mask, the dude used to work with the company. A hilarious prank!!
Laughter and blushes ensue.

Here is a similar one, v funny:
