The Game Gamer – Halo, halo, halo: part1

In this week’s episode of Reel Time with A J McMarson, I was inaugurated

into the dazzling, hypnotic streams of byte lights coming at us from every digital device near and

far, where visions within visions get techno-coloured. In other words, I become – a gamer. Ok, I

will admit a really bad one. Ok, ok, a really, really bad one – not even in the ball park kind-of-bad.

Not even by the stretch of my boundless imagination can I describe my gaming ‘skill’ as well, ‘skill’.

And I simply don’t have the patience or time to develop that awesome hand/eye/brain coordination

required when those skilled players do their thing.

I wouldn’t even know how to find the start button (it might be a lever for all I know), if it was not

for the assistance of – my son.

Thank you Charlie, for offering, which is a rehashed up way of saying putting up with my nagging

until, in a crumbled, hungry heap, (because dinner would not be served until he would) Charlie

agreed to be my mentor in all things game-y.

I have left it to Charlie to go through his inventory of games and pick one that he thought would

be most suitable for a first-timer like myself. The result is the topic of episode 7 – a new frontier

(another one), in which I seek a different angle or two in my never ending quest in making stuff up.

My gaming quest will be an ongoing saga, to be continued every five week cycle of

Reel Time with A J McMarson, when Master Chief (stage name), and

myself will investigate the pros and cons of questing – gaming style.

Gaming is seems is not just something you can do, but if the hand/eye/brain coordination is

temporarily out of order – you can sit back in coach-potato comfort and be entertained by the

professionals (Charlie’s short list is below). If you are a ‘really’ young viewer I request that you

check with your family’s ‘code of conduct’ before linking to these programs as the language can

get exotic.

And another oldie OfficalDadCubed

Jasmine Neutron Star is the first book of the Star Ways Chronicles. It is a novel most suitable for

young adult and teenager readers of speculative, fantasy / science fiction, urban fantasy. It is a

humorous account of Jasmine’s first adventure into the world of light – Quanta. She is a spirem –

a new kind of superhero – and perfect for the sphere of Terra.
