Living a Virtual Life in a Not So Virtual World.

Well guys. It's been forever since this blog saw the light of day. Well, I broke out my maid uniform, blew off the dust and used one of those duster feather things to remove the cobwebs!

Today I wanted to address the ability of one with a job (mainly military) to actually accomplish gaming while still fulfilling the contract I signed and the oath I swore.

Let's just say... it isn't easy.


For those of you who know me, you also know that well, I don't talk about my job. Not because I don't love it, quite the contrary: I'll be the first person to admit I love it, but there's not much to say and the cool stuff I can't talk about. Ah well. I swear cool stuff is boring. But yeah, I find it incredibly hard to actively pick up a controller or sit down in front of a keyboard unless I'm in port which is not often enough.


On board where I work we have guys who find time to play Madden or MLB or FIFA but still, when you're shoved into a cramped space and your console is one of those protective pelican type cases with a monitor and an HDMI hookup, it's almost more fun to sleep which I frequently do.

When I am in though, let me just say. I have recently continued playing Planetside 2 and the game continues to look stunning. I haven't quit minecraft and I don't plan to, though I find myself playing it way less then I used to, and last but not least Age of Empires.


I even started streaming but it turned into a huge flop. A few dedicated fans are asking me to return but I don't know if I have the drive to. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. It all is yet to be determined.


So there's my gaming rant for the day. It's like 3am here and I need to switch over my laundry.


Peace. -Tassemet
