Extreme tower defense, or as everyone calls it - League of Legends. This is the second biggest e-sport, right next to Starcraft II. A lot of my friends play it and even I'm completely hooked on this game. (Thanks guys!) If you've never played it before, it's pretty much a tower defense game. You're just running around as a different person every time attempting to defend your "nexus" (aka your base). It's actually a lot of fun, and highly addictive. I was streaming it a little while ago, so if you want you can just click right here to watch it. Since I was using my friends computer and their internet is really bad i had to play against only AI.... which isn't much fun. The only fun aspect of that was laughing at my friend that was watching. I actually really enjoy this game and I know of countless people around Sheridan that play it too. If you have too much time on your hands and want no social life then I highly suggest you get this game :D
Also, since the game cut off before it ended, and some of you actually know how to play league and want to know how it ended.... Then here is the end game results haha! Those two deaths never should have happened, but what can you do when you play aggressive? Noooooothing
So we all know a typical "guys night out" is going to a bar and drinking until the sun rises. Now from my point of view, nothing is really different.... Although guys are more of a heavy-weight than I am. I find that going out to a bar is actually fun, asides from laughing at your friend who just puked on some girl he was hitting on, but that going out and just meeting up with everyone is more fun than meeting up for drinks. Maybe it's just that my friends are idiots, or that I'm usually the 'DD'? Either way, I find it fun.
Another thing I just want to touch on quite briefly is billiards (or pool). I've been pretty much raised playing this game since my Grandfather has a pool table and used to play competitively. Maybe this is where I get my competitive side from? Pool is awesome, especially when you're at a bar at the same time.
Just when you think computer game graphics couldn’t get any
better, Minecraft comes into the picture with it’s never ending pixel world. The
whole pixelied world is pretty much like the game ‘Sims’, but if it was moved
15 years into graphics past. The whole game is actually a lot of fun. All you
really do is go around, collect a variety of minerals and then craft those into
blocks. Once you have your blocks, you build yourself a little village.
I used to play on a server with my friends, until the server unfortunately went
down and was never brought back up. It was all on survival mode (meaning you don’t
have endless supplies and cannot fly, like in creative mode). So today I went
on and fixed up my house, as well as just flew around. It’s as much fun now as
it was when the server broke down.
(EDIT: There used to be a link here that lead to my stream, but for some reason Twitch.TV took it down. If you want to go my stream page anyway for unknown reasons, the link is right here for you!)
At the very end, I went off to a custom game and spawned hundreds of villagers.
After that, I just caused chaos with spawning zombies. Now for those of you
that don’t know, zombies attack the villagers and turn them into zombies.
All in all, everyone should play Minecraft. It gets your
mind off the real world and into your own little society where I can almost guarantee
will end up in chaos, or your structures being strange to a whole new degree.
Today you don’t see many girls playing poker on a regular basis. I actually went out and asked a few people if they knew how to play poker, and if they would play it on a regular basis. Less than 10% of the girls said they knew how to play, and would only play if they knew they would win money. What would they use the money for? Textbooks for school and new clothes.
Ladies… You’re giving us a bad name. Stop falling into that stereotypical category and go live, I promise it’s not hard at all.
Back to poker! After the mini survey of people, almost every single guy knew how to play. They said they would play it competitively or just casually at a party.
I think it’s actually really interesting that a non-physical competitive game is so popular.
Know what I love about poker? The rush of winning, seeing people get so mad when they lose and just proving that I’m better at something than guys (Bwe he he he). Every time I play, I don’t just play to win. I play to in enough times to rub it in their face forever.Now what happens when I lose? Then oh well, must be beginners luck for you!
After screaming at the TV for hours on end, I think it's safe to say I don't think my love for sports has faded away. If you didn't watch the Superbowl, it was mostly just men in tight pants running around, Alicia Keys and her never ending national anthem, coaches (who that I might add are brothers...that's going to be an awkward Christmas...), Beyonce proving motherhood - ain't nobody got time for that, a huge power outage, and the most stressful four seconds of your life.
Spoiler alert: The Ravens won! :D
So let me break this down for you, from my angle... Food. Food everywhere. It was beautiful. Now I was cheering for the Ravens because even though the 49er's are a second half team, it just doesn't work like that in the Superbowl. I guess they folded under the pressure, but they did try. I felt kind of bad afterwards when they were just sitting on the sidelines and the paper confetti was raining down from the sky.
The Superbowl was as fun to watch as the commercials, like always! (Although they could have been done a lot better.) I had a lot of fun yelling at the television, as if it knew why the ball was fumbled. If you didn't watch the epic sports event, you need to mark your calender for next year, because I'm sure it will be just as amazing as this year.
Yes, girls go to the gym too, I know, I know. But do you reallllllllllly look at what they do? StairMaster... for three hours. I'm not an expert on the gym, but don't you go there to actually work out everything besides your legs? The worst part is when girls wear make-up to the gym. Why do you want to look like a gross sweaty raccoon by the end of your 'epic stairmaster climb'?
Gyms are awesome, if you go there for actual reasons. My favorite will forever be the leg press. Mostly because I hate StairMaster's and think there are way better ways to work out your legs, but because guys look at you and think "why is that toothpick going on that machine?" It's fun. I'll forever be against working out my back, due to when I hurt myself. I had no idea what I was doing, and neither did my personal trainer.
Protein shakes are also a necessary thing if you go to the gym more than once every two weeks. If I recommend anything, it's to NEVER go to GNC for anything, except if it's a last resort. They have no idea what their doing. They tried to put me on Mutant Mass. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a weight gainer. One serving is 1000 calories (but that's four scoops of powder). I don't need to gain weight, unless I decide one day "Hey, you know what I should do? Grow male genitals and try out for Mr. Universe because I have weight gainer protein powder." No. I won't do that, why would I need a weight gainer? I don't.
GNC, get it together. You're making Wal-Mart employees look like they know what their doing.
If you're one of the lucky people who know what Amnesia is, then you should know why I want to forget this experience. I was one of the many who have attempted to play Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Before I go any further for those of you who do not know what this game is, you're a character who drank an amnesia potion, and left yourself a note to kill Alexander the Great. You have to travel around a castle, and you have no weapons... only a lantern. There are plenty of monsters around the castle that try (and a lot of the time succeed) with killing you.
If this makes no sense at all, here is a short video on the lore of Amnesia:
Now even though I have only played through roughly 1/3 of the game, I have watched many of my friends attempt the game. Most of them have finished it, and only wet themselves twice. The game tells you at the very beginning to play in a dark room, with no lights, and headphones on. It's a very scary game, and messes with your emotions quite terribly.
The game is definitely not meant for the weak, such as myself. I scream far too often when I play this game that I was actually put on a stream to show how much of a pansy I am. You can click here to watch me screaming like a pansy, although you might want to skip a bit into it.
Although the game is very well put together and is extremely scary, I actually highly recommend playing it. It's a lot of fun when you look back on it, but when you're playing it you just want it to be over. It is more fun watching your friends play, because then you can laugh at them. You should try it out, but just know that I warned you when I said it was scary!
