- Games galore -
/I tried to resist, but couldn't. so here we go./
How seriously do you take a game? Any game. The keyword today, is 'serious'.
How ironic that the question is a paradox within itself. When we used to play games, the saying was 'it's just a game'. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. As long as you have fun. But you don't HAVE fun when you godamn lose. So yes sometimes it matters. No one likes to be a loser.
But as you move into different genres of games, there becomes the element of pure playing the game, that really, winning or losing is merely a small factor of it. So back to the question, how seriously should you take the game?
I definitely don't want to play a non-existent game. If the outcomes and consequences were for real, then I'm screwed. If the game wasn't a game at all, I've screwed myself over also.
If I took anything seriously at all, then I'll end up being the LOSER 'cos I didn't play it properly. That's why it varies with different people. Some like to act cool pretending to go about it with a 'whatever' attitude. And that just pisses me off. Because if I decide to play, then I might be making myself look like the shithead. But if I don't play they'll point and laugh in my face and say ' HAHA! You lost, bitch!'. As I mentioned before, I'm screwed either way.
(Back from 20 minute break)
Darn I don't know what I was on about. I was making some soup. It smells nice. Ok, the question still stands for anyone willing to answer. At the moment, I choose to play the game however I want. With and without the attitude. With the talk-backs and with the innocence. Without the need of having someone by my side and without the late night phone calls. I can do without.
~And the reason is you~ Hoobastank.
