that he cannot move forward or his past disappears.

he has come to a place full of sorrow and doubt,

seeds of which, planted liberally simultaneously sprout

and they grow oh they grow and they wrap round his feet

and they grow prickly thorns to sink into the meat

of his legs and his arms and it hurts every part

as they grow yet they grow and sink into his heart

until every beat hurts and he waits for the end

of the pain and the sorrow lord deliverence send

he asks why has this happened when all that he’s done

was to live his life solely for the love of the one.

for one , not  THE one, who hath brought him to this,

seeking solace in writing is he taking the piss?

as a word once its written just belongs on a page,

confined to the past like his heart in a way

awwwwwh bless

Wouldnt relationships be so much easier if they were a little more like computer games. I dont mean all the killin and that but the way we progress through them. Little by little but constantly moving forward

Picture this, you’ve been playing this game for a long ass time, it’s second nature to you now, you can jump run shoot everything  you are the master of all you survey. you are picking off enemies at will you are dodging bullets, you are better faster more agile than all the rest you are……… HEADSHOT!!!!! You’re toast!!!! You’ve just been sniped from a hilltop.
Not to worry tho its grand right????? You know where the sniper is now so you can just nip up the stairs and take him out next time. Just have to wait for this to load up…….. any second now……… ah here we go….. hold on there just a tickadeeboo , this is the first level!!!!! It is  isn’t it. You recognise those inconsequential training op’s all those boring cut screens that explain who you are and what it is about you thats so interesting. oh the triviality where’s the start button.?
Your skill points are back at zero !!!! Where’s your freakin plasma cannon??? How the hell are you supposed to go back to killing people with this pistol when you’re so used to the best artillery?? This is certainly crappy i must say. There has to be a cheat or something . Do you really have to go through all those training levels again your head’ll melt. Hold on there’s probably a password for this some sequence of words or letters must be able to get me back where i was….(*writes to games master)
……..DAMN IT!!!!! he says no.
Access denied!!!!
Games companies know  this and that why they dont let you invest all your time and patience getting to the harder later levels only to have you start from the very beginning again once you meet an impasse.

We need solutions people. What are our options here should you perhaps get another game??? Somethin less frustrating?? With different graphics?? Different story line?? Something to take your mind off that last game that frustrated you so? But then again who’s to say that better graphics make for a better game. I mean its always cool to have a sweet lookin game but at the same time a game needs to be so much more than just pretty pixels (unless thats the name of the game in which case its probably doin a good job all on its own). Gimme Pitfall over Assassins creed any day. Assassins creed looks lovely and all but Pitfall had heart damn it(and alligator filled pits)
NEXT!!!
You could get yourself a hand held? Small and fun!! but where’s the interaction?. If you sit in a dark room on your own playing with this wee thing you’ll only end up damaging your eyesight(……….ahemm!)

So what do you do?? Will you ever really have any closure on the last game? Has it bested you?? Will playing a different game for a while, hone your skills and increase your chances of completing the other?? Who knows?
Maybe give up on games altogether and do something creative like write a blog????
