rockin’ it out..contd… March 25, 2008

So I was introduced to Rock Band on Saturday night, chipped in with my boyfriend, his cousin and his girlfriend to buy the game the next day, and just finished my 3rd straight night playing it. I haven’t touched my homework since I first played the game. This does not bode well for me and my school work. I was pretty productive before the weekend though. Finished by cover letter and research paper for Career Prep class and now I just need to get my storyboard done for Project Portfolio.

I never really played a lot of video games. The last system I owned was a Super Nintendo and it’s still sitting somewhere in my room. Super Mario World and Zombie Ate My Neighbors were my favourite games at the time. However, when I do get into a game, I can get completely engulfed and obsessed with the game. I have been told I have a obsessive personality. If I like something I can’t get enough of it. For instance, if I like a song I’ll play it everyday, every hour until I get sick of it. If I like a certain food, I’ll eat it everyday till I’m sick of it. Except for french fries, I can have french fries everday for the rest of my life and not get sick of it. I will most likely GET sick though. Anyways, I did play the odd computer game here and there. I was obsessed with Counterstrike and would play it any free moment I had. When the newer version came out, I prohibited myself from downloading the game because I new I would not be getting any kind of work done. That was 6 years ago and from then on, I have been pretty good. But now that I’ve played Rock Band, the obssessive part of my personality has kicked in. My voice is sore from singing. I was at work all day singing to myself as well and the only thing I was thinking about was “I can’t wait untill I’m off work to go play Rock Band”. So sad. Hopefully I can play enough of it this week so I can get Rock Band out of my system. There was a time when I was obsessed with bingo. I was at Planet Bingo everyday for one week, then I got sick of it. I did manage to buy a Nintendo DS and downloaded a few games. That took up a lot of time one summer and I haven’t put any new games on there yet because I know it’ll be trouble. Well, I finished blogging for this week so I’ve been a little productive. But now I am all rocked out and headed to bed.
