Thoughts from a Gamer.
14 years ago
I write this solely for my own pleasure as I am listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o691QJprdM
I reccomend listening to that song whilst you read this....
It's interesting that as children we are exposed to so much, us of the gaming generation. When I think of my childhood memories I think of a land of fantasy that was so vivid and real to me. Going to the neighbors to pretend we were our favorite game characters on adventures. The ideas we came up with were incredible. Such ordinary objects became truly extraordinary. A multicoloured ball became a world map, a stick became a sword and our minds gave us all we needed.
My world wasn't anything like the world I live in today. In my world any evil or corruption was struck down swiftly. People were willing to spend their lives to take a stand for the good of everyone and carve their name in history and everyone's hearts. There was no accepting your fate, it was a world of ideals where a single person could make a difference. A place where miracles happened to all the right people.
In my childhood I lived that and throuhg a screen. Traveling fields striking down monsters. It's fascinating when I picture myself at the age of 10 sitting there playin The Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy. Traveling an imaginary world, making decisions and fighting for my ideals. It was like it was real. Even now at the age of 20 I have all those games engraved in my memory, I can play through every single aspect of them in my mind and feel that same rush.
Of course this sounds like nonsense to anyone who hasn't been gaming since they were 3 but that was my childhood. I was raised by that screen more than I was my parents. Which would explain why I have so much trouble comprehending the world we live in and the things that happen in it.Not to say I'm a fool I have certainly adapted to the world I live in. but my ideals, my views are very much the same as when I was a child.
I just wanted to write this as I am feeling a great deal of nostalgia right now and as I listen to that song all my hairs stand on end as I remember those days.
Thanks for reading. and sorry for sounding weird.
Also sorry for my delay in replies I've been really busy this is really my only free moment. I hope to have everything replied to by tonight =^_^=

Oooh that's so funny cause it reminds me of when I first got Final Fantasy. my mom actually played it before me. got though the entire game. but couldn't finish the last areas cause she was having trouble. Well me not having played it yet, but watched play the whole thing. I finished the game for her lol XD
