                <description><![CDATA[ So A couple days ago I was playing Assassin's Creed, When all of a sudden My computer turned off,So as I was touching  computer, It was Blazing hot!, So at first I thought maybe the problem might be with the PSU so I tried it at another Computer and tried another PSU at my computer, I was scared shitless that the problem might be with the VGA or the Processor <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fear.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":fear:" title="Fear" /> I paid an arm and a leg for those two, so after some more experiments and trips around some repair centres turns out the the problem is with a less expensive Hardware the Motherboard, Still very expensive, anyway I was relived that it was still in warranty if it happened 8 days later my Warranty would be Void, any way so I took it to the repair centre and they said it was going to take two weeks, TWO FRIGGIN WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!:mad: I'm going to stay for two weeks without a computer you gotta be kidding me, and now I'm writing this on my backup computers, You may notice a lack of deviations cause my backup computers can't handles intense graphics super slow, Bleh Arghhhh!!!!

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a long time since I updated my journal, Here goes some ranting for ranting's sake!<br />Last week I went on a vacation to the north coast it was two days only better known as weekend You see the north coast is actually coast where people get a tan so I went there to .....you know get a taaaaaaaaaan as we say in Egypt, so I went there put on my Jammers and went to the beach or in Egyptian accent "The bitch" So here I was I saw swimming pool right next to the beach I was like huh? what kind of a person puts a swimming pool next to the sea, Turns that "bitch" is "is super turbulent" and "If you go in You'll surely drown"<br />At first I thought this was a joke so I asked the life guard(Nothing like baywatch) at the swimming pool he told this true and "You'll surely drown!" So as I was getting a tan at the "bitch" I pondered in thinking about that sea thing I thought that the lifeguards "are too much of N00bs to go in the sea and they wearing B0x0rz" <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b0x0rz.gif" width="18" height="15" alt=":b0x0rz:" title="Rox0rz my B0x0rz!" /> even after that I   was actually convincing myself that I had abs of course My walk was saying "Ladies!, Look at Bronze Greek God Bulging muscles and err...... Fats" again after the two days were over I went back to Alex  and I was so FRIGGIN Bored so I decided to install NFS pro street to further again convince myself that it "sucks!" Until enough was enough with all the repetitiveness I decided to install Assassin's creed again so I can get a better grasp at the story And w00t I just assassinated Tamir <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w00t.gif" width="23" height="23" alt=":w00t:" title="w00t!" /> and then Just yesterday I went to San Stefano with some of my "Homeboys" to see some movie we ended up watching Wanted and Then I started playing a text-based MMORPG Mafia game Called Omerta and most of my creativity was going to making an awesome profile for it, That's probably why you haven't seen some of my stuff lately!, That's a survey of my last week <br />I'll just end this with the last sentence said in "Wanted"<br />What the fuck have you done lately?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Reasons why Gamer Joe know more stuff than Average Joe<br />1-Any gamer who played Civilization has at least looked at the Civlopedia If not read it all(Me)therefore Gamer Joe know more about the Celtics, Romans, Zulus, Egyptians, Byzantines, Arabians, Germans, French, Greeks, Incas, Indians, Japanese, Persians , Mongols, Russians etc... Also he/she knows more about, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Taoism<br />2-Anyone played COD2 Has killed his\her share of Nazis therefore more inclined to know more about the holocaust, Nazis, WWII and The Swastika!<br />3-Gamers who played any first action game has better reflexes, perception and hand to eye coordination!<br />4-Anyone who's English was not his mother tongue and played RPG Games(me) has better vocabulary than the Average Joe who's English is not his mother tongue<br />5-A Gamer who has played Assassin's Creed has Experienced the Crusades and learned more about them. It has taught me better and more than Social Studies!<br />6-Anyone who played a stealth game i.e Thief can sneak better than YOU!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now all of us know the rating systems since the days ESRB came out in 1994 to watch out for the things games contained such as Nudity Sexual Themes And Violence In fear of kids would turn out to be bad as they were "influenced" by the games at that time, Right?<br /><br />Well not entirely because not all kids are affected or influenced by video games,personally I think It all depends on the kid him/her self it depends on the kid's predisposition towards violence those kids would eventually go havoc It's as simple that Here' one scenario:-<br /><br />"A Troubled kid plays Hitman He's influenced by The Character's behavior and decides to do the same and turns out to be a Hitman"<br /><br />Now here's another scenario where the kid Doesn't have a pre-disposition to violence:-<br /><br />"A Normal kid Plays Hitman He's having fun assassinating people he realizes that this is just a virtual world and then finishes gaming and goes to sleep in peace"<br /><br />One might argue about the Columbine Shooting but these students clearly had a pre-disposition to violence.<br /><br />But parents blaming games are obviously bad parents using games as a scapegoat and to do so is juvenile<br /><br />But now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that they should remove the whole rating system I mean i wouldn't want my kid to be playing manhunt but at the same time let the parents rate the games themselves who would know what's best for the child other than the parents It's the parent's responsibility to educate them what is reality and what is not and thus what is acceptable behaviour and what is not.It's merely a convenient excuse for poor parental oversight I played many violent games and yet the most violent thing I ever did was trim My nails<br /><br /> ]]></description>
