How to get your ass kicked by an International Master

Jumped into Twitch.tv to find an unusual treat.  Sabrina Chevannes playing 500+ viewers at Chess.

Sabrina is a Women’s International Chess Master and smashes all the chess player stereotypes.  I ended up being distracted and stayed on the stream for a couple of hours.  She’s been playing chess since the age of 8 and would kick my ass in 5 minutes at the game.

Why are Super Stars like this not highlighted more?  To my shame, this was the first time I ever came across this Champion.  Anyhow, seems she’s busy managing her Digital Design company in the London.  Nuff respect.

Naturally, she won against the stream.  A real education.

10 years of FarCry

I can barely muster up an hour of daily quality gameplay lately.  Game time suffers directly when the joys of the “Real world” kick-in and it’s hard to justify to non-gamers that you actually need time to play.  I’m usually disgusted by gamers with poor commitment and find myself exactly in that position.

As this point, I cannot claim to be a gamer but a mere sporadic spectator.

My library is littered with unfinished stories like half-eaten apples.  Of course, this is a common trend during Summer months as opposed to locking myself up in a Man Cave during the winter.

E3 gave us some nice treats to look forward to and, for me, FarCry 5, Assassin’s Creed Origins and God of War are simply must haves for 2018.  Still waiting on news on Last of Us 2 though.  In the meantime, I’m aiming to Platinum Horizon Zero Dawn but the end of August.

Last seen 10 Days ago

It’s been 10 days since my last PS4 session….daaaaaaaaam boy.

My digital life is packed away in a box inside a box inside a secured facility for reasons beyond my control.

Abandoning my second Life does has side-effects though.  The real impact of no daily gameplay means there’s no outlet for all the f%*ked up thoughts in my head and I don’t have the sort of money where I can say or do exactly what I want in real life.

Major downside include

Inability to explore new environments

Inability to trigger fear

Inability to escape from Ordinary life

Lack of ability to communicate with like-minded people

Lack of escape route for angry or rage

Lack of tangible achievement or progress

Current daily game time Zero.

Snow in April

This just sums up my year so far, Tales of the Unexpected.

Woke up to snow this morning.

I’d already ditched all my gloves and winter wear thinking it was all over and had to scrabble around for layers of clothing to keep warm.

Day 2 of no PS4

Man down

Plenty of uncertainty in my life over the next 4 weeks so I’ve opted for the unthinkable, PS4 decommissioning.

Parting from my PS4 is such sweet sorry

Yes, no games for the foreseeable future, well at least until I know where I will be sleeping.

I’ll probably be watching lots of Twitch.TV and thankfully Netflix now has a download offline option.

An old source fronted me some money via a proxy to get me out of this jam that I didn’t even cause.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or luxury to contemplate the major repercussions from taking the money.

This is just one of those things I’ll be pondering on my death bed staring up at the ceiling waiting for Jesus to take me. And believe me when I say, I’ve looked straight into the eyes of two dying husbands on separate occasions and the same look of regret haunts me till today.

So while I can still care for myself………

Total carnage…..I Love it

I just spotted a gore title released last month that can serve as a nice Rage outlet.

How to Survive 2 is low cost top down button mashing Zombie killer survival game.

Not many people streaming it right now but it’s a multiplayer so you may meet some real life psychopaths along the way.

It’s a Mature rated game (17+ Blood, Gore and Intense prolonged violence) so it was a little disturbing seeing a YouTube Video by SuperiorZane08, who is sounds like a 10-year old child,  giving a tour of the game.

I bet the parents have no idea what the kid is doing.
