Gunboud

[Narvi]

There has never been a video game that has fascinated me more than Gunbound. There has never been a game that has made me focus so hard on it. I have NEVER been so amazingly good at any other game.

I play it so much. I love everything about it. It's like poetry the way that I can make shots hit on my first try. It's beautiful the way that I can predict how the wind will affect my shot. It's much more than just beating people now. My technique is almost perfect. There is nowhere to go and that frustrates me. I love the game when I am playing well, but I hate myself when I make a stupid mistake.

I am addicted to this cutesy Korean game. I have tried to quit. I always come back. I have to actually force myself to do other things than sit around and play Gunbound. I'd almost rather stay in and play Gunbound on a Friday night than go out and talk to girls/hang out with friends. I've poured so much time into this stupid video game that I don't do anything productive anymore. I don't draw. I don't make songs. I don't write lyrics. I just make beautiful shots in a pointless video game. It's a good thing I'm leaving for the Navy in a month or otherwise, I'd probably end up in professional Gunbound tournaments rather than getting a job or socializing. I love Gunboud so much and yet I hate what it does to me. I doubt I can ever really quit.

If you've never played Gunbound, don't start now. If you play now, never ever learn boomer.

Gunbound was one of those games that was really simple, but still crazy addictive. However, I was able to quit real easy once I got out of the beginners room because 99% of the people were complete assholes (not much unlike other online games).

Pshaw... Boomer's like the best one. Boomer, Nak, and Cake, foo. Although I was never really good with Nak.

Oh I know all about the assholes on there. But if you get in a good guild, you can make friends and play with other people who are actually respectful and fun to play with. I can't stand playing by myself with mid level players because all of them think they're gods and everybody else is a noob. It's lots of fun at a LAN. And it's CRAZY fun when you make it into a drinking game.

I love nak and JD, but boomer is like poetry with the shots. The backshots, the hookshots, the way they snap at full power, the way the SS opens for huge damage. Everything about it is poetic. I love making a high shot into the wind that lofts gently and slowly onto an opponent.

It's a video game that is like Worms or Scorched Earth. It's not heroin or any metaphor for a drug. ^_^

It doesn't take a great computer to play it. My old 500 mhz p3 could run it no problem. I could even use hi graphic settings on it and everything.

But just don't get addicted. If you want to play sometime after you have learned the basics, I'd be happy to give you some tips. PM me.
