Video Gamez :)


The top video is a guy rage quitting because he can't beat Shao Kahn, the majority of his videos are hilarious.
The bottom video is some bloke pissing off World of Warcraft players and messing up their plans, classic Leeroy!


BOOM!

Honestly who hasn't kicked back and "accidentally" ran over numerous prostitutes and stolen their money or sniped someone's head off on Grand Theft Auto before?! If you haven't done either of those things then you've probably been living underneath a rock for your entire lifetime thus far and I highly recommend that you have a crack at them! Who out there honestly hasn't thought to themselves how awesome it would be if you could do those things in real life and only get fined a bit of cash and each time you die you get resurrected like Jebus?! Video games are fucking awesome and I have decided to do my third post on them, and try to write it in more of a light-hearted fashion because let’s face it, being serious in all of my blog posts all the time would just be lame!

I remember back in the good ol' days when I was like six years old or something and I had a Sega Megadrive, yes a SEGA MEGADRIVE (probably the greatest console ever made). To this day I still cannot beat the second level on Batman (there's like six levels for fuck sake!), cannot for the life of me beat Shao Kahn on Mortal Kombat 3, and I flog the piss out of every team on World Championship Soccer by at least 15-0. Nowadays it's all about the newest "call of duty" title or this motion sensor bullshit like the Wii, fuck that, anything before the PS2 should be considered 'the good old days' in my opinion because those consoles were the shit! I think the best part about playing video games for most people is the fact that it is an external reality, one that anyone can enjoy. My understanding is that it's kind of how movies and music work as well, everyone has at one stage wished they could be a movie star or in a band, why not be a game character? That might kind of sound lame to some people, but I know there is a lot of people out there that genuinely enjoy gaming because it an escape from reality.
 

It is actually quite funny having a conversation with older generations about video games, the majority of conversations I've had involve them complaining about younger generations spending too much time playing video games. It's funny because I reckon they are just jealous that we get to play awesome games like Grand Theft Auto and back in their day all they had to play with was marbles the poor bastards! Then the argument comes that "we were playing outside in our days", pfft screw exercise that's bloody boring (no wonder we as a country are so fat, shit). Maybe older generations just have a fear of technology, because seriously the same conversation comes up every time I check my phone or am on the computer browsing the net! TECHNOLOGY666TECHNOLOGY

It is genuinely good to see that gaming is accepted by the wider community. This is probably due to the fact that it doesn't matter what stereotype in society you are categorised under you would have killed someone on Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty before; even some of your local arrogant pill poppin' v-neck shirt wearin' footyheads probably play Call of Duty! Some people still consider video games 'nerdy' but who gives a fuck what they think, so long as you're having fun and living your life the way YOU want to, isn't that all that matters?

People that assume that all gamers are white pasty 'nerds' who live in their parents' basements and never see the daylight are pretty clueless. I mean YES, there is absolutely no denying that those people exist, but I've found personally that majority of gamers still go out and socialise and make friends; they're just as normal as any other stereotype in society. And in the end, who really cares if there are people that play games all day, they're not harming anybody (except perhaps their own bodies due to lack of vitamin D in their skin hahaha).

My favourite games of all time include the following (not in any particular order)
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (they've been shit ever since, admit it!)
- God of War 1 & 2
- Mortal Kombat Deception, MK 3 & MK 9 (Shao Kahn can jump off a cliff though, asshole)
- Hitman Blood Money (Hitman: Absolution come at me!)
- Borderlands (ridiculously keen for B'lands 2!)
- Battlefield Bad Company 2
- Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City & San Andreas (pumped for GTA V)
- Red Dead Redemption
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution (haven't played the original Deus Ex)
- Madden 12' (TIM TEBOWWWWWWWWW)
- NBA2K12 (Derek Rose hittin' 60+ points every game, whatever)
- Fifa 12 (Yes, the third sporting game with 12 in it, I don't keep up to date with Fifa, NBA2K and Madden each year so you know, I just chose the newest ones because I have them and they're all awesome!)
- UFC Undisputed 3
- Diablo 3 (addictive as fuck)
- Mario Kart 64 (fair sure I'm world champion or some shit)
- Goldeneye 007 (not a freak at this, only good at the train level)
I've probably missed a few but stuff it this list is good enough!

Apologies if I got side-tracked here and there in this blog piece it’s pretty random, I typically just write whatever comes to mind first and I’m actually a Korean exchange student so ME NO VERY GOOD AT ENGWRISH.

Have a wonderful day you sexy people,
Stephanie Danielle Johansson xo
