I have stopped playing Doom III at Delta Labs 2. I MUST write my critique for Intro to Theatre. OMG I am SO immersed in the game. I haven’t really been playing by the rules, when it says “you need this key” I just turn off clipping and walk through the door. And of course I have god mode on all the time. And unlimited ammo. But it’s still been fun and challenging. I’m more than halfway through the game, I wonder how it will end. Omg, I’m totally going to get to experience the end in surround sound. Sweet. It is such a drag to go back to reality and write my paper. And to complete the total abandonment of reality, I’ve been reading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I love Through the Looking Glass! It’s so cool. “You won’t make yourself any realler by crying.” “Why, I used to believe six impossible things before breakfast!” Cute. I don’t know what to do to help me get back to reality…I guess I could watch some TV…I’d have to do something that doesn’t require my computer. Like hanging out with friends, but like…that won’t happen until tomorrow. If I walk into the dark living room I’ll just grip my imaginary plasma rifle (my favorite weapon) and wait for the imps to be summoned. The dark used to be scary, but since I’ve been playing with god mode on, my subconsious has realized that there is no actual danger as long as I’ve got my plasma rifle and my BFG when I’m in a pinch. But the darkness primes my subconsious to ready my plasma rifle and watch for zombies, which is the opposite of what I’m trying to accomplish.
I’ll try to watch some TV to get back into a real mood (?) and then try to go in here and write my paper. I guess the first step would be to find my playbill…I can’t remember who the actors or the director were. I sigh as I look around my room. This will take forever.
