I make this post as one of two posts that I will be doing for tonight. There's so much in my mind right now and most of them aren't borne from the current depressions of life or the stress of work. No, I want to discuss happiness and euphoria today and no force can stop me!
What I'd first like to do for this blog post is to marvel at how much my life has changed ever since I made one big decision in my life: enter the world of Online Gaming. As the flag banner of this blog (and it's title) states, it's a Gamer at Heart. Ever since I became a full-blast online gamer at college, I had delved deeply into its communities and secrets and gained such a thorough re-understanding of myself - never again was I the completely introvert (just partially now LOL) geekish brat who buries himself in books and literature and makes a complete genius out of himself in class. No, well it did teach me things I never was supposed to but still, it made my teenage life burst open and join in my habitual intellectual lifestyle. Suffice to say it added spice to my life.
Then came another door bursting open in my life when I decided to take my gaming experiences to another level and take up the interest of indulging in Table-Top RPGs. As opposed to online games, which are MMORPGs, TTRPGs delve deep into the lore of stories wound by people with rich imaginations and put you as the person into the shoes of the character itself, your decisions and actions powered by your own imagination and intellect, while you enter the stories of your gamemaster and altogether create a harmonious and colorful atmosphere of gameplay amongst your peers.
It requires a lot of imagination, yes, and I believe that these games are good havens for training one's imagination and thinking. People might think that these games are somewhat psychologically disturbing, as most of their content can be quite inappropriate if taken seriously, but everything is just in the mind or stays within the story. Sure, people might go overboard once in a while but in general, these things strive to better enhance one's mind rather than debilitate it.
Right now, with the support and encouragement of my ever-loving students, which I am slowly growing a deeper outside relations with, I'm taking my gaming experiences and knowledge to an even deeper level of "enlightenment": I'm henceforth forming Sir Dave's gaming circle! It will be composed of my students who are interested in learning about these games and want to have fun out of it, and as it turns out, they already have had fun with my wargames before, they hsva started to like the intriguing Inkognito game, and they're now curious as to what Arkham Horror is going to turn out to be!
Worry not, for it follows in this next exciting post! Keep yourselves reading!
