Where the Hell Have You Been
  
    So I'm back at school here, with the New Roomate. He had mentioned previously he had 
given up video games. For whatever reason. On the other hand, he came off as pretty big 
on computers. So I took that to mean Video Games, meaning Console games.
  
    Hold on now I'm getting past the gay blog like portion. Anyway, here I am playing a 
rousing game of Mechwarrior 4 since a) The Ethernet isn't working (FUCK YOU WHAT PASSWORD 
AND USENAME I DON'T HAVE A PASSWORD OR USER NAME!) and b) I have no TV to play the PS2 
(FUCK YOU GAY TV TUNER CARD! YOU WILL TAKE S-VIDEO AND COMPOSITE BUT NOT THE CABLE JACK). 
Anyway, the roomate is on his way out and he notices me blowing the shit out of a couple 
dozen Osris. He seemed quite amazed by the game. Commenting that is looked like Dune, 
with better graphics. It took a moment for this to sink in a bit, I havn't play too many 
Dune games but I'm pretty sure there are no FPS or Mech based Dune Games. Then I realized 
he meant Doom. You know, fucking 1850s (WHAT EVEEEEER) DOOM. So it's like yeah, it's uh.. 
kind of like Doom. Only massive fucking better looking and with huge walking battle tanks.
  
    Don't get me wrong here people, I am not trying to be mean. It's just kind of a 
strange thing to consider. What seems so regular and normal is suddenly a WTF! to someone 
else.
  
    Meanwhile he is busy playing some Asteroids game, and some puzzle block moving game 
on the other side of the room. This leads into a completely different Tangent. Because 
you get one guess which Non-Windows based OS is capable of such amazing feats of gaming. 
I'm not saying the games may not be fun, but well hey, it's no Doom on Horse Steroids 
with muscle implants.
