Did you take a picture of me?

Nowadays, you can’t walk two minutes without someone or something taking your picture.

Daddy’s Girl

Instead of snappy away, I prefer to savor the moments in my mind.

Games are a different matter though and I simply had to share the Eye Candy of Horizon.

With only 10 minutes gameplay, Horizon Zero Dawn™ is clearly a top grade experience worthy of all the hype. I’m not really prepared for this game but the Father daughter intro walks you through the control system seamlessly.

Next 14 days will be rough so this is just the distraction I need to cope with “real” life.

Yes, I think I’m better than you

Sometimes it’s great just to say it out load.

Elite gaming gives you “all access” permission to shout out that I’m better than you and prove it.

Elite gaming can be taught

The problem is that you can’t be great at everything.

Experts are often critically vulnerable in areas outside their specialism. Ask a Sniper to run the Medic role and he’ll die multiple times before getting the hang of it.

On Monday I’ll start my Horizon Zero Dawn™ experience after seeing Logan on Saturday with old mates. With a reported story mode of 30 hours, I expect to rinse out Horizon for at least 6 months.

I’m running through major decision points in my story, risks are high and outcomes are uncertain.

New Batch, New Title

It’s been at least 4 days since my last dosage and all it well.  I pick up a new batch today.

Avoiding the hype and play the game

No symptoms, which is excellent considering my recent landlord stresses.

Over the next few days, I’ll grab a physical copy of Horizon Zero Dawn, probably from Argos or some major retail store.

I’m having to consciously avoid the hype and spoilers but so far the FarCry Primal comparisons point to it being my kinda game.

Dream within a Dream with a Dream

Woke up relaxed using a gentle music alarm as opposed to my normal sharp shock alarm.

A night with no games

Still got to work on my sleep pattern. It’s clear that my mind is not settled.

60mg today.

It’s gonna be a good day

 

Love is not Free

Today Ghost Recon® Wildlands Open Beta goes Live to the general public for 120 hours.

It’s a standard strategic move to grow the community before the game goes on sale and for the most part an excellent experience for all types of players.

You can tame her but careful, she bites

Open Beta’s is a boost of Oxytocin or a School Boy Crush 10 times the normal levels.

The downer comes pretty fast as you realise you haven’t got the resources to play the game for any extended period of time.

No dedicated time

No enough money to buy the game in the first place

….and no one to play with.

It sucks and you wonder,  why play the Beta in the first place?

Well, like Love, better to have a neurotransmitter dopamine rush for a short time than nothing at all.

Dopamine is commonly associated with the ‘pleasure system’ of the brain
