An Ode to Video games

 Boredom can give rise to a lot of things, for me lately, an addiction to writing has really gotten to my head. So here, just a little something I ended up typing to my friend Shruti in a matter of 30 mins when I thought she was offline (But somehow wasn't):


Yknow,

I want something, that which i cannot say,

I want something, that which i cannot describe,

I want something, that which i cannot ask for,

I want something, something prehistoric, something atavistic, something uncultured,

Remnants of a past hobby,

Withered, but present,

With influence so grand, so emminent, so irresistible

One that engenders shivers, goosebumps, and naive exploitable excitement

A grating decay of a plane, damp sounds of battering bones and swift stabs that atrophy

Explosions that stupor, stories that inspire, and zombies that devour

Not trite, not grindy, but one with an end

Not limited, not unfathomable, but lovable

Addicting, but not degrading

Reviving not enervating

One that tests skills, not temper and tolerance

Gauges grip, flexibility, and memory

One that teleports, transcends, and sensitizes

Through the ups and downs, canyons and plateaus, spaces and oceans, galaxies and heavens

With the pining of those gone, and embracing the ones who aren't

The silent protective volitions for some and merciless inconsiderate gratifying executions for others

The shifting gears, cocking guns or charging plasmas

That wake a beast that only yearns for more

I want something, which cannot be delivered

I want something, which does not exist

I want something, which i will want, till the end of my days


                                                                        THANK YOU


P.S: 

- The last line can be improved upon so much.

HuMan's thoughts on Marvel Comics: Ultimatum

If you ever asked a comic enthusiast what he/she thought of the Ultimatum comics, chances are they will probably have hated it, and for good reason. If you haven’t read the comic I strongly recommend for you to read it, obviously not because of how good it is but only to get a taste of what bad writing and terrible art looks like. And if you can’t seem to spare enough time for that, lucky you, I’ve got you covered, just beware mild spoilers ahead (Not that it matters though). Written by Jeph Loeb and art by David Finch, this series of events takes place in the ‘Ultimate Universe’ or Earth-1610. Ever wanted your favorite heroes to have minimal involvement in the plot and experience unnecessarily gruesome deaths? If you said yes, then you are probably an emo and are extremely edgy. Just kidding, if you are reading my blog then you are awesome! Regardless, let’s get down to reviewing. Can’t seem to think of anything but if you are interested in looking at your favorite female cha...

HuMan preps for the GRE

 Continuing with the next phase of my life, I am now nearing the end of my graduation after a 4 year engineering degree. I guess, there really isn't any harm in dreaming big because well, I am now going to try to move out, again. Growing up in Kuwait towards my 18th birthday I was really getting sick and bored of the comfort and that happened to be at the perfect time to start my engineering in MANIT Bhopal. Since then I have been fairly inactive on this blog, I've become mentally healthier, I have gained friends and learnt what it's like to be a good friend too. It's been a long ride, one that at some point I was ready to write a book on, since the last 2 years especially have been exhausting, with dengue, jaundice, multiple infections, it has been quite a ride.  Anyway, I am in full flow of preparing for my GRE exam now to pursue further studies in a master's program abroad, most probably the USA, but let us see. I am ready to keep my options open. This blog's...
