Entry 32: Game cannot be an ass but reality can be a bitch... What they don't want you to know...

quick double trigger entries...
hahaha...

inspired by my friend...

have u ever have those instances where u play a game...
let's say a poker game...
or Mah Jong...
Monopoly...
Uno...
Risk...
RPG...
whatever it is...
just some game against the computer...

and just as u think u are on a sure win...
the computer managed to trump u in a very unlikely circumstances...
and u go...
WTF...
what are the odds?...
i had sure an upper hand...
the computer must be playing cheat...

here is my theory...
most of the time...
ok...
ya...
computer may have twit the difficulty up a notch...
but most times...
those are improbable but not impossible situations...

and u feel frustrated and pissed because u are playing a game...
but the situation can actually happen in real life...
and u don't feel as pissed because that is real life...
life can suck...
life can be a bitch...

but the game cannot be so fucked up...

so here is the game paradox...
should a game includes all these random chance of misfortunes like real life so it feels more realistic...
or...
should a game simply let u win and be easy...
at least u won't feel frustrated...
u may go on to think that the game is not real at all...
it is so easy...

but u won't go...
WTF...
what are the odds...

by the way if u are into podcasts...
check out What They Don't Want You to Know...
from howstuffworks.com...
very interesting topics...
but be warned...
they raised the doubts in ur head without giving any suggestions or answers...
kind of like a mindtease...

and also...
geeksbrief is a good gadget introduction and review podcast...

and...
Rotten Tomatoes for movie reviews and previews...

and of course...
all the G4 stuff...
X-Play...
Web Soup...
and AOTS...

have fun~!
