The last school bell of the day rang, announcing that it was 3:30 pm and that we students earned our freedom back. That alone was cause enough to celebrate but I was even more exited since today was Friday. I had a full weekend of playing games to look forward to. Best part was that I had beat my last game the previous week so I had to go shop for a new one.
I left my classroom and zigzagged my way trough the herd of loud, pimply teens towards the school’s exit as efficiently as I could like I was doing a speedrun. I was a man on a quest. Once out, I snatched my bike from the rack and raced towards Geekvania, a independent store that, as the name mentioned, sold geek products to geek minded people. I was very much one of those.

It was really just a huge slope on crescent street but my friends and I renamed it when we were kids because apparently, back then, we thought that everything that seemed cool would even more awesome with a fantasy name. I still do
I entered the slope from the top as fast as I could and then let gravity and physics take over. I loved this part. the thrill of the speed. The way the wind hit my face and made my shirt billow. I always imagined that this is how it would feel to ride a dragon or a magic broom or other similar magical modes of transportation.
Recently tho, Ive also been thinking what would happen if rolling downhill this fast would loosen the bolt holding the front wheel, sending me face first onto the pavement, promptly riping it off. I guess living 16 years on this planet starts to instill fear in you as you learn that reality can be randomly cruel and no one is safe from it. But heck, what is life without a dash of adventure spicing it …show more content…
To be honest, we were in a dry season for new releases. Only a few seemed worthy to pick up but they all had a fantasy theme which I was getting bored of. Still, I wanted to play something this weekend. I walked up and down the aisle, narrowing down my choices until there were two contenders left.
I had both cases in my hand, looking for reasons why one one be better then the other when a customer walked by. I was partially blocking the path so I took a step back and bump against the metal basket acting as the bargain bin. I glanced down absentmindedly, waiting for the man to pass but then did a double take. I could swear I saw the word vrmmorpg mixed in with the pile of sub-standard console games.
I moved these “gems” aside until I found what I was looking for. It was indeed a vrmmorpg game. I’d never seen one in the bin-o-crap before. It was called Mesozoic wars. The cover showed an action shot of a caveman jumping towards a armor clad humanoid reptile while holding a big rock over his head. Surprisingly, I knew nothing about this one, which was rare as I keep myself well informed on everything game
