"Don't
bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try
to be better than yourself." As
often as we possibly can, my boyfriend
Chris and I make it our business to find
the
time to enter into the wonderful world of COMPUTER
GAMING. Upon doing this, we find
ourselves
totally and completely immersed in a whole other place, where fantasy
replaces
reality and whatever stresses we had accumulated throughout our day are
quickly played away! Between all of the EXCELLENT software there is out there (our favorite places to buy software are FRY'S ELECTRONICS and BEST BUY) plus of course the myriad of games and game-like applications that you can access from the INTERNET, there is literally NO LIMIT to the ways in which you can enjoy yourselves!!! Naturally, Chris has HIS favorite
computer games just as I have MINE,
and occasionally, even the twain shall meet, such as when Chris
and I find ourselves engaged in a good old-fashioned game which we play
over our Network connection. One of my very favorite online games
is known as Mad Gab and
yes it's the same one as the game that you may know so well. It
was created by a pretty brilliant programmer by the name of Andy and I
recently sent him an e-mail asking him to create a multiplayer version.
I have to admit that I'm pretty
good at this and it's a wonderful stress reducer. Chris and I have several games that we are both absolutely crazy about...I get the high score and he beats my score...he gets the high score and I beat HIS score. LOL we may NEVER stop competing with one another, and at times the game gets quite intense. Another
game that we love to play competitively (I can't seem to get even a
score
of 20 on this damn thing lol) is called City
Jumper. It's really addicting and can be quite frustrating,
but
one day I vow to get on that score board!!!! Yes, there is still ANOTHER great game that we love to play competitively and this one is called Cube Buster. It can be found on the website called PC Gadget Free Online Games and there's a lot of other neat games that can be found over there. And
now I must share my absolutely favorite online gaming websites with
you.
All of them have become near and dear to my competitive heart. The
first gaming website is called Joygames.com
and there are so many great, addicting games there that, well, you'll
just
have to go over there and see what I mean to know! The
second gaming website that I cannot get enough of is called Shockwave.com
and there I have discovered a game that is called InkLink.
Come try it!!!!! It's wonderful fun!!!! Speaking of Shockwave,
here
is another Shockwave game that is SO addicting that you better be
careful,
or your eyeballs will become blurry. The third gaming website is called Astrodragon.com and the person that runs it certainly didn't leave ANY game out! The graphics are wonderful, they will keep you engrossed and if you wish, there is even gaming news to read here. The
fourth gaming website is called Playsite
and I'm quickly becoming addicted to a fast-paced (and not too easy)
game
there called Cascade. The fifth gaming website is called Neave
Games and there is a game there called Snake
that is sooo difficult and sooo addicting that I dare you to give it a
try! It definitely looks easier than it is and you have to have
excellent
eye-hand coordination. Please e-mail me and let me know whether you are
a slug like I am LOL and what your high score is. I promise I'll let
you
know what MINE is if you let me know what YOURS is! The sixth gaming website is called Electrotank and my first experience here was with a very sweet person who invited me to play my first game of Minigolf. I had myself a wonderful time despite the fact that what I know about golf can be placed upon the head of a pin LOL. The seventh gaming website is called Uproar and it is there that I found my latest multiplayer addiction which is the old classic tv show game, Family Feud. What a fantastic brain game this is! I just love it. Perhaps
we'll meet in one of these games sometime so if you ever see a player
with
the screen name Badthing, Badthing_me, Badthingg or Badthing_1, you'll
know that it's me and I hope we'll enjoy a game together!
