crav-ing |ˈkrāvi ng | |ˈkreɪvɪŋ| |ˈkreɪvɪŋ|
noun
a powerful desire for something : a craving for chocolate.
Cravings are weird. An internal impulse to do something, sometimes something you typically don’t do, or dislike. This morning I had a craving for drinking a glass of plain milk. I hate milk and I am also semi lactose intolerant. I didn’t end up drinking the glass of milk.
Earlier in this week I craved playing Douglas Adams Starship Titanic, which I started playing while I was at my Nan’s several years. I got most of the way through the game, but never finished it(I think I was up to the musical instruments part [possibly]). I found it really enjoyable, and I believe it has a quality many new games are missing, that is, letting the user think for them selves.
New games I’ve seen focus on “Kill 50 bores and get their blood” (The grind-tastic ones, World of Warcraft and the like), “Shoot and kill everything on the map” (Unreal Tourny, Counter-Strike ect..) and the “Go save this person, along the way level up, loot some mad weapons and gain guest points” (Similar to the grind-tastic ones, but a little less grind and more game play, Diablo ect..). Don’t get me wrong these are great games and I like to play them, but I really like to think now and then.
Starship Titanic is an excellent game, even if it is a little bit out dated (Made is 1998) but the graphics, sound and game play is still awesome. It lacks in features , but who cares, when the puzzles are so awesome and fun. I feel that I should buy the Mac version and play that, however their shop seems to be down at the moment.
My last note, I thought my blog theme was getting a bit outdated so I decided to change it. (Another craving). It’s fairly basic, which is what I like. Now to make the changes to my MySpace profile, to make it look the same.
