but not before i got the shit beat out of me:

i found it incredibly disturbing the way that the screen on the game shakes and turns red, and sometimes shows bright flashes of light as if you're blacking out- which, having never been beaten, i assume is somewhat like being beaten up is like. weird stuff- at least I think it's kind of weird. Anyway, I did finally manage to get a crowbar and I believe that I got hit by a train. I did feel myself getting drawn into the gameplay as I was able to progres within the game, however, between watching bad television and knitting somewhat compulsively, I'm not sure that there is time for me to become a gamer.

That said, I have begun playing Katamari Demacy and Final Fantasy(I can't remember what number off the top of my head, will get back to you on that one) both for Playstation2, my boyfriend's little sister has allowed us to borrow her console while she is away at college. I wasn't really into the idea of playing a RPG, but the turn based battle system wherein i can input my commands appeals to me because frankly, the fighting bits in HalfLife2 kind of freaked me out. The game itself is slightly movie like and this also appeals to me.
