I know I wasn't the most frequent posting user on this website, but for a while I got really hooked to the website and everything it had to offer. I was always watching the Quick Look videos and going to Casual Fridays while drinking Monster Assault and gaming it out with my friend. All those things came to an abrupt halt one day while making myself mac n cheese. I turned my Ps3 on and it prompted me to do an update, as always I said yes and unchecked the box that said "Restart system after update" because I didn't believe in voodoo. So I left thinking it would take a while to do and it didn't surprisingly. I came downstairs to my bedroom with my golden food in hand as steam spooled from it. As I turned the corner I saw the update say complete and then within milliseconds of entering my room, the Ps3 turned off. I sat there eating my food wondering why it had done that and nothing came to mind. After eating I tried turning on the system, it turned on but no screen nor a sound came from the tv. Then my controller wouldn't turn on even though it was connected to the system. So I tried pressing the power button to try again, it still wouldn't turn off. So I unplugged it to try it again. Same exact thing over and over again. I've come to the conclusion that my Playstation 3 is gone...for good. For I had no money to ship it out and get it fixed nor any money to buy a new or used one. This tragic incident happened in March 2013. I've been Playstationless for the longest time I could remember. This didn't really bother me because I had outdoor activities and a full time job...until about 5 days ago when I went to my fellow gaming friends house and I watched him play Sleeping Dogs. Then he gave me the controller and I got to beat the shit out of some Asian people with half karate and half street fighting. Now all I can think about are video games like the ones I pre-ordered; The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls. I know I sound like a loser because "its just video games" "you're 21 Travis, you don't need video games" But video games have done a lot for me in the past. They made me laugh, get angry, sad, and every other emotion out there. They were there when I had no friends to hang out with or when the winter came. However, when the new next generation Playstation comes out, you best believe I'll be in line to be re-united with the world I know and love which doesn't exist in the physical world but it does in my eyes.

After reading this to myself, I sound like a crazy mofo about video games. Trust me, I do love the outdoors and I do have a full-time job arresting shoplifters. Even crazier, I have an amazing girlfriend which helps distract me from me knowing I have no video games to play. Sorry if this was too long for you to read. Just felt like sharing my feelings about not being able to play video games.
