Cool Games and Stuff

    We've all seen super action movies where cars explode, fighting sequences ensue, and bullets fly. As typical human beings, despite the sheer anarchy of it, we desire to be in a similar situation (minus the being hurt part of course). We desire to be in a car chase. We desire to be in a gunfight. We desire to have a kung-fu "wapow" fight. Look around, people who have these desires made sports to substitute for them. Examples: Go-carting/Nascar, Paintball, and Karate. Most of those sports require a bit of investment to get into. Most people just settle for the next best thing, a video game.

     (Warning: Nerd Alert.) When we play a video game, we get the opportunity to actually do all the intense action things listed above. Now that's all fun and stuff, don't get me wrong, (Super Geek Alert) but it's all on a screen. That my friends, is why we Nerds/Geeks of the universe have been given board games, and table-top games. We've all seen table-top games. The ones where guys carefully paint and craft unique figurines that engage in a battle of statistics and numbers. It's like reading a book with no words. You can envision the battle in between a cyber-space ninja warrior, and a gory-squid man. Now games like those do cost a bit of money to get into, just like sports.

Off note: The above paragraph is slightly funky looking because I clicked the "quote" button, and it decided to make it look funky, like a quote. So deal with it.

     Anyway, where was I? Yes, table-top games, they're cool, but I never got into them. Too pricey. That's when I discovered this game known as Brikwars. Btw, that's not a typo. Brikwars is a game where you have rules and statistics, just like a table-top game, but it uses the inexpensive LEGO figures. Inexpensive is a broad term, most people have at least five-bajillion LEGO guys lyin' around. The whole aspect of that game is cool to me, it's like a real-time strategy game come to life, on a table, with a LEGO dude. Yeah, so that's a swig of random for you today, enjoy the rest of your day!
