Nauseous gamer

This Saturday I went into office for an afternoon to catch up on work in trying to ease my week a little bit. I found myself a little sluggish at work since it was so quiet around. No doubt that office is a good place to be at on weekends if requiring some work done, but never true in the week due to so many friendly and unfriendly interruptions.

So I worked hard for awhile, but was caught playing pool and video gaming in the building by some familiar faces. I wondered the surprise on his face was by my weekend casualness or by my presence in the game room.

"You play?" I asked as I tried to concentrate on not getting killed in 30 seconds. A grin sparked on his face while watching, "No, I don't but fun seeing you." Argh, murder happened again. I felt woozy but managed to ask, "Are games these days supposed to be ... making people nauseous?"

Obviously I am not too fond of playing these three dimensional graphical games. The feeling is almost flying over the hills a few times, and continuously over the hills a few times. The whole thing makes me wonder why gamers could craze about this? Is it just me bad handling the game or simply bad games?

Next time if I require pretend sickness to leave work for home, I know I can attend one of these 10-minute sessions and acquire my needed symptoms.

Viv, If you want to get that good looking buddy that you are always after, I would recommend becoming an expert in video games. Add that to your letter to Santa.

Why do you love the word "pretentious" so much. The first time I read it I had to look it up, and I thought you had this advanced vocabulary. I still don't know what it means!!!

S: Can you convince ppl that I don't pay you for dat .. :) You just sux at pool .. or bad cue!~ Can I be just a black bear instead?

O: I can totally see this is a trick of yours which gonna fail ... Back in loo, all male in general are video gamers .. and who are these ppl? Yes, they are tech .. and how tech ppl tend to be .. hmm .. yeah * nod * Did you find out the person in your dancing video may be tech too? Just like how you feel about gals in waterloo -, except you and I (well okay Simon too) are exceptions .. :) oh sorry, I mean just me .. heh

Hey V, let's go see Body Works sometime in Jan? We can do it as like a bday thing for us! :)

All my geeky guy friends are trying to get me to play Warcraft. They say that it's one of their favorite fantasies, to have a gf who plays vid/comp games with them. And they all tell me that an attractive good female player is soooo hot.

Geeky guys are so adorable. Haha

Viv, you were right about the dancing video guy. He quit his job as a programmer (developed video games) to travel the world.

Anyways, I am in tech and not a hardcore video game guy, so your theory about tech and video gamers does not always apply, although, I am a unique person .. cool, outgoing and in tech ... your lucky to have me as a friend :)
