Huh.. you know it has been a while since I last put my thoughts down on something.. I guess doing reviews and stuff like that will make it so that I do not really think about this stuff. Meh oh well, lets see now I need to think of a topic to write about... hmm.. that is the challenge.. my mind has been rather a blank today. Hmm... I did think I could write about things that I do not understand. Then I figured it would be some what hypocritical. For instance I do not understand the obsession that people have with minecraft.

I mean I understand the concept of the game well enough. You are supposed to build stuff... yeah I get that much about the game. However, it is all of these elaborate creations that confuse me. I mean some of these things have to take weeks and months to build without much rest. Yet some how people find the time to create things in this game that are just... well pretty cool I guess. I thought about playing minecraft once, then I thought about how I could use the time better.

Well not better, but I figured if I could use the time to figure out the game and play the game so that I could have something cool, despite my lack of creativity. Well I could do something useful like learn a new language. or play an instrument or learn a new skill or something. I am not really trying to bash people who play minecraft. I mean yeah I waste plenty of my time on anime, video games, this website. Still of all the things that I could waste my time on... well I just think I could do something better with my time.

I guess that is why I am interested in the software RockSmith. Unlike other peripheral based rhythm games, that game actually tries to teach you a skill... or so it claims.. I mean I saw it on steam and a new version was just released so it must be doing something right. I mean I have not heard of any rock band or guitar hero or dj hero or whatever games being released. I mean it just sort of seems kind of pointless to get really good at some things in life that really do not give me anything back. Then again I guess all obsessive behavior can be looked down upon.

For instance the fact that I am really into fitness might be looked down upon. I mean you have those people who are obsessed with going to the gym and that seem to be a thing I guess.. well I am not sure. I guess you have to look at the benefits of going to the gym or becoming a Rock Band champion. Going to the gym you improve your health. While with Rock Band.. you kind of fuck yourself over. I mean you spend the entire time sitting, well most of the time. You then sit around and stretch your fingers around and train your mind to react in coordination with something on the screen. All the while damaging your eyes. Hmm.. I guess I am just not really sure how to really gauge obsessive behavior for everyone.

I mean I do own a couple of these games I talk about, not Minecraft of course. It was when I found myself playing these games everyday as a form of practice that I realized the fact that... well I am practicing something that is not real. Maybe I need to step back and evaluate things. I mean, really if you throw away an hour on stuff that is not real... then what are you doing that is real or something?

I do not know personally, like I said I find myself doing things that are not real all the time and wasting more time than I want too on it. However, that i just how things are I guess. Sometimes it is easier to just pick on things that could show you have an applicable skill. I mean plenty of people could make something of themselves if they applied themselves to learn something that is real. Then again, sometimes simple things that allow you to build a lot with only a small amount of training is another good thing. I mean I understand that, which is why I dial back certain things in my life... and keep obsessing about other things in my life. Anyway, just some random thoughts I had banging around in my head.
