The Street

As he was walking through the cool night mist, he noticed something.
“You know” The man said to a person walking alongside him “There’s something here. It’s like us.”
The other person, a tall figure made more made more gargantuan by the darkness, turned around.
“What are you on about now?” The tall man replied with more than a tint of frustration in his voice.
“I’m just saying,” The man said quickly “this street- this city. Just look around- in what an hour or two ago was a bustling center of activity is now calm and quiet. It just fits.”
The tall man sighed and looked down at the mossy mosaic of sewer grates and bricks beneath him.

Yes, the blog has changed yet again. Now, we got a spiffy new background, and the comment system is significantly re-hauled. This has caused the comment system to be inaccurate, doubling the number shown on the page as to how many comments there are. The background will stay, but if people object to the new comment system I will change it back.

Card Fighter's Clash- The game I don't want to play- but still play.

I think in life we all have something we don't necessarily like, but do anyway, even if there is no point to doing so. Maybe it is re-watching a TV show you didn't even like much  in the first place, but it's stayed in your mind the whole time. Or maybe it is something that fulfills an occasional need, but you still would do something else. Something productive. For me, Card Fighter's Clash is that. Now, this not a bad game- far from it. However, it is a game that can entrance into constantly grinding for cards. Trust me, If you want every little card, it is going to take you a LONG time. Luckily, I am not a completionist, so I don't need to worry about that sort of insanity, but I always have recurring stages of playing it. Card game grinding isn't fun. It isn't even really rewarding, And yet somewhere, deep in my brain something makes me keep doing it. No, I don't want to fight this person for the 50th time- ahh but I want MOAR CARDSSSS. Extremely fortunately for me, this game in particular came out BEFORE the days of paid dlc(downloadable content), so there is no temptation for paying money for what is essentially a sprite. I guess I should be thankful that the game just wants me to waste my time, not my money. I just wish it didn't waste so much. I know, I know, complaining about wanting to play a game is an incredibly lame thing... But... I'm going to anyway.
