First of all, I had an excellent day of doing absolutely nothing but playing Star Craft 2. The game is epic. **I must also insert here that I am very easily amused and not very critical when it comes to entertainment so don't take my word for it** I feel like SC2 is going to be a major distraction in the future. Currently having no real responsibilities other than keeping house and all that fun cleaning, tidying business to be "the good room mate," it's incredibly easy for me to get sucked into this video gaming void. NO JOKE. I looked at how long (how many gaming hours) I've played so far and, not to my surprise, the time counter was right around a nice 23 hrs and 50 something minutes. I purchased the game on Tuesday or Wednesday last week but did not start playing it until Thursday night maybe? I've lost track of time in here. I feel like I'm writing the sad journal entry of an isolated plague victim. Right now, it's 3:49 am, I am listening to 80s Freestyle/Hi-NRG, and I am not tired at all. I feel like I need to break the cycle tomorrow and go to the gym, go to a few meetings if I wake up in time. I feel too sedentary. When I was in treatment, I learned a very valuable lesson or observation about my writing when I write about what's going on in my life. My counselor, Jim, stopped me in the middle of reading my journal one morning and told me to rewrite it. At first, I felt "butt-hurt" for lack of a better word, then I realized that what he said following his interruption of my journal reading would help me center myself in my writing. What he suggested I do was focus on how I felt throughout the day rather than drifting off into to a little fantasy world known as "Chris's incoherent babbling of life," (that's not what it's called). Hens leigh ways, I feel out of order from doing all this gaming. My diet is all messed up from this as well. Now that I am not awake at the usual hours I eat, I am under or over-compensating. For example, today I ate the usual lunch but skipped the dinner because I ate the rest of licorice I had and um... tortilla and peanut butter. That's all I ate yesterday. Today is a new day! Another day sober is another great day. That's a fundamental.
I wanted to show some screen shots of SC 2 before I call it quits for now. Here is what I found online that I liked (even though anyone curious enough could find them, my findings are better!)
Here is a screen shot of a random battle scene!~
The main character, protagonist, Jim Raynor
Tychus Findlay, Jim's partner-in-crime, escaped convict
Kerrigan, Queen of Blades, Jim and her have "history"
Dr. Hansen (who obviously was made using Scarlet Johannsen's face in mind)
Well, that's all I've got. I'll review the game a little more in-depth later as I play it. The only complaint is that playing it on mac sometimes the game will become zoomed in so much that it thwarts my strategical bird eyes view. I am hoping to find a remedy for this. I am also hoping to find some friends (that I already have but I won't turn down an online buddy) to play the multiplayer mode with. Wow, now it's 4:47 am, that means I've spent a whole hour on this entry. I crave more.... I guess that's why I decided to make a blog. I want to periodically record my life as a reference point as well as share it.
