To All Idiots with an Opinion

So i wake up today after a hard nights gaming and what do i find? Front Page Sunday Times of India has a write-up screaming how Games cause people to murder each other... And even worse... how games have semi-naked animated women running around... Boobs jumping et al... My dear god what corruption of the Teenage mind.... God forbid he ever gets a peek onto MTV or any movie channel...

The one thing that drives me mad about all of this is the people who write such crap have never touched any of the games they mention... or any game in their lives over all... Its a wonder they know the meaning of Massively Multi-player Online RPG... an MMORPG in gamer terms... Its worse that they label Max Payne, NFS and Half Life among the list of MMO's.... where did researching before writing go?? Is all the research and all the hunting for a story lost in printing something to fill up the pages?? I'd hoped better from a respected paper like TOI... which I for one read daily without a miss... The point they try to make on Page 5 is that gamers play Porn (read Hentai) games to get their kicks... Why would anyone in their sane mind take the effort to download a 1GB + porn game when 30% of internet traffic is directed towards porn sites(yes we can use statistics to our advantage as well)... If u think Teenagers are getting corrupted by games then think again... there are so many factors causing this that if u wanna set out a cry against Games and MMORPG's in general youd have to wage war against any Media that shows a Bit of skin, real or pixelised...

In another reading session before another instance of lack of research came to view... Pune Times quotes that Resistance : Fall of Man is banned in the UK coz of extreme voilence... Although the level of voilence i found was lesser when compared to Die Hard 4.0... It makes me itch to point out to the author of this beautiful piece of shit that Resistance is not banned for voilence... its banned for showing a Church where the main character fights aliens... the graphics are realistic and the cathedral based on the real life replica... The reason for banning is over-zealous religious fanatics... a whole another topic for me and everyone else... lets just not venture there for the time being...

As a parting word let me put this down for u Priyanko Sarkar... I am Viraj Chouhan... im a 20 Year old Gamer... ive been gaming all my life... ive played Every type of game in existence... I have as yet not killed even one person... or greviously injured anyone for that matter... there are a million other gamers like me... so before u go and start blaming the worlds ills on us gamers... keep in mind we Outnumber you and people who think like you... Dont Fuck With Us...

Im just one of those Idiots with an Opinion like you Priyanko... I have never met you... and hope not to... I dont know how much experience you have in your field of Journalism... But... I know i have loads of experience in my field of Gaming... Enough to criticise what you have written without a shred of evidence... So... if you happen to be a young newcomer with a thirst for a story to feed you your daily bread... judging by your writing... i dont hold much hope for journalism's future in your hands... and if your happen to be a middle aged person with eons of experience to your credit... frankly, you should know better...

Let The Blogging Begin

So the craze claims another victim... the blog-craze taking over the world wins another soul onto its side... So how shall one begin?

Mebbe in British English:

I Humbly Welcome you to my humblest online Diary...

Pray dont be bored for various adventures await u in the pages that follow !

Or the more modern Englsh:

wlcm 2 my blog...

hope u njoi my writng s mch s i njoi writng it...


Not much as far as a first blog goes... but bear with me... im new to this sort of... "Stuff"... as afore mentioned... my first time was too soon for me to get used to this... so early in the game anyway...


But... where to begin i ask myself as i stare into the faint glow of my monitor, straining my eyes as they will me to sleep...

Maybe i could start with myself... a self-confessed Gaming Addict... a little-appreciated Writer... and a brand-new blogger...

So whilst u analyse me... through my blog... let ur brain roam free... and Let the Blogging Begin !

Yay ! First Blog

So... this is what the first time feels like...

Its exactly how i pictured it would be...

Me... my comp... late night... just after a good movie... yea it feels just about right...

Tonight is the night i lose my blog-virginity... Now i am a MAN !! Respect me mortals for now i am among u...

Lets get the creative juices flowing(completely figuratively).

So life throws another event in my way and i pick up where i had taken a pause and procceed as she directs...

This time my event wont be so well encompassed in words... as i had hoped it would be...

The brain doesnt work as smoothly as one would suppose in these situations... but i guess this will have to do for now...

Everythings not lost and theres time to spare... maybe ill be more excited to write later on...
