Epic fail, chapter four- rant on video games.

Hi.
Jest here.

Reading about mango soup from a certain classified alien, I got bored and wrote this post.

Ever played some games that don't make any sense?

Halo is a good example that makes no sense. First of all, ERSB seem to have the brain approximately a bit bigger than a grain of rice. Halo is a is clean enough to be a 10 yrs old game. And what rating did it get? M18. Anyway, the game is reather weird, killing the covenant, activate halo, and ? kill more covenant, activate halo again and? Hopefully you get my point.

Another great example is DOTA.
It isn't even a real game! Its just a game variant that was developed with the Warcraft program and somehow got popular amongst many, even adults! To the warcraft gamers, it is a professional idea, developed out of great creativity, and is worth their time.

To me , however, I just don't see the point in defending the ancients for 6 hours straight.

Tower defence ( in my opinion) the worst type of game.This is a rough overview on how it is played:

1st hour : Build your towers
2nd hour : clear the first wave
3rd hour : build more towers
4th hour : clear the second wave
5th hour : clear the third wave
6th hour : upgrade your towers
7th hour : attempt to clear the fourth wave but failed.
8th hour : cry
9th hour : restart the game.

See what I mean? I don't find joy in building towers to kill your enemies and get killed anyway.

Another thing I really hate is to play facebook games.
Facebook is a social platform for the user to make friends, NOT FOR PLAYING GAMES!!!
All the games barely register as games. To me, they are just bits of code lying there waiting for you to interact with it.
Mousehunt it is a good example of bits of code lying there. Basically , you use your mouse to click on the bit of code the developers call "a horn", which then plays the only animation in the game. You then 'catch' a mouse ( if you are lucky, you unlock a new JPEG file!). You then stare at the screen for another 15 minutes till the piece of code unearth itself from the other bits of code. And guess what? people actually use real money to buy codes!!( or superbire+) and the developers just lay back, sniggering at getting rich from people spending money from buying codes.

So thats it for today. Good night people.

Jest, signing out.
