The other day I stopped by Gamestop because I wanted to buy Guitar Hero 3 (I know, I'm late to the party). I had already checked the prices and knew it would cost me over 60 dollars to get what I wanted. I ened up spending just 55 dollars to get the following for xbox 360:
Guitar Hero Aerosmith with controller ($10)
Guitar Hero 3 ($17)
Guitar Hero 2 ($10)
Tomb Raider: Anniversary ($15)
If you haven't taken advantage of the gamedays sale at gamestop, I suggest you do soon.
I don't usually have dreams, but when I do, they're really fcked up. Last night I had a dream. I dreamed that I got a job working for a mob boss. The mob boss was two years old. My first assignment was to deliver a bowl of cereal to the boss. On my way to the boss, I got ambushed by a bunch of mabsters. However, when they touched me, they caught on fire. After they all burned to death, I continued on my way, but I ate the cereal. When the boss saw that I had eaten his cereal, he started beating me brutally(it was like in Family Guy when Stewie beat up Brian). After that, he brought me into a room and told me to wait. I was scared he was gonna do the thing from Casino Royale, but then Abraham Lincoln walked into the room. Abe gave me a copy of Halo:ODST, opened a door that wasn't there before and told me to go. I walked through the door and found that I was on a rolleroaster. Then I woke up.
This blog is about a phenomenon I have dubbed after-game emptiness. Most people on this site have felt it before. It's the feeling you get after you beat a game that requires a huge time investment. It can come in many different forms. A feeling that you just wasted a lot of time, a feeling of disappointment that the game is over, or just a feeling of emptiness. Everybody may not experience after-game emptiness, but all my friends I've mentioned it to knows what I'm talking about. The reason I can deal with it is because it's accompanied by a sense of accomplishment equal to the emptiness. It all evens out in the end.
