Gaming Brought Me Back to Life

When you've got time to kill between movie schedules, and the videos to prove it, you later find yourself back to blogging about it.

Yeah I know it's been months since my last blog, but I'll probably focus on blogging about occasional travels mostly now; with an 8-5 job, I feel like a little bit of wanderlust can heal my already depleted energy.

Truer words have never been said...

I still get to read books though not as often as I should, since I get sleepy in the midst of it, but gaming is another way for me to escape reality,  especially if it's in VR.

I couldn't help myself like, who doesn't love dinosaurs? 'Cuz here I am excited for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom that's coming out this June!

I can relate to Owen's "oh $h1t" face though...

I also got curios about playing The Lab, which had these multiple games, since I first saw it in a video advertising the first of VR gaming. (You can see the video in my previous game reviews..)

I tried the Archery one first since I'm a sucker for stuff like that, but damn couldn't I feel my right arm afterwards.

The last of the games were just filler for the gaming time I had left, but it was fun nonetheless. Wish I could have fun times like this more often though.

Gaming on Different Dimensions

With my last experience of virtual reality gaming, I couldn't help but find it a little... boring. Since I just sat there getting myself shaken and stirred like some cocktail drink, with no real interaction with the game. So when I saw that Lucky Chinatown had this latest gaming craze, I just had to try it out!

It just screams, "Try me!"

The first time I tried it, I played a one-player shooting game called Brookhaven. You first had to pick a location, your weapon of choice, and that's where the thrill begins!

No worries about zombies eating my brains here... ;D

Honestly, it wasn't really that terrifying, sure there were zombie-like creatures crawling towards you in a dark sewage system, but nothing really "jumpscare" worthy if you ask me. Which makes me laugh every time I remember this lady who actually screamed out loud in the middle of the mall while playing the same game.

Since my first try seemed a little lackluster, I decided to play again. This time with my cousin for a change, since if it wasn't fun playing alone, then I guess it would be more fun with a 2nd player.

Getting ready for some action! XD

There were only 2 multi-player games at that time, and the game coordinator suggested the one for beginners. I went with that since it's my cousin's first time ever playing any sort of VR game.



Lo and behold, it turned out my cousin beat me for the high score. Though in my defense, she got a 2nd gun while I had only 1, so we weren't exactly on even ground. I also found out that VR gaming is actually fun to play with a 2nd player, maybe next time when I get to drag my cousin into playing again.
