I notice that when my brother plays RPGs (Role Playing Games), he always have pieces of paper beside him like a guide book of some sort. I didn't mind this at all not unless they are scattered around our living room. Sometimes I even use them as scratch in writing important call messages or doodling. *Sorry Kuya.*
Never knew what these notes contain until my sister who loves to play as well, asks me to look for "walkthroughs" in games she plays. Looked it up in google, and there I learned that walkthroughs are another form of "cheating". And we all know that cheating is bad. Walkthroughs contains everything about the game. You can find there the characters, the levels/chapters, the secret levels or objects (that sometimes are no use at all,I've observed), how to use a weapon or an object, how to kill an opponent, or just go through the game without missing any detail. If you're into perfecting details, I'll bet you will love walkthroughs.
But is it bad when you do it in video games? Like life would really matter on it? Cheating in games, cheating in life?
Having to grow up with two brothers, I am used to seeing different game consoles and games, which I haven't imagined that there are such. My favorite video games would be racing, sports, or SIMS.. nothing serious and violent. I don't even get why people love to play games that has to kill aliens, or stealing or bullying. Although I find "Bully" pretty cool sometimes. *hehe*
Video games are for passing time as well as entertainment. The usual games I need don't need cheating or walkthroughs. Like what I have mentioned I only enjoy playing car games and sports. Other games just completely bore me. I play because I got nothing else much important or sensible to do at home, or it's because the PS2 is ignored by the kuyas and a usual change in my routine at home. You can bet that I 'try' to play PS2 only once a month. More than that, you can be sure, something's wrong with me. It's not a normal thing to do for me to stay infront of the tv and play whole day. I am that lazy to move control buttons the entire day. Hahahaha. Yes, I'm serious.
What I'm trying to say is that I think games are made to be enjoyed and not a thing to be serious about that you actually have to use cheating in order to finish it. What's the fun in it if use a guide sheet to run through (or walk through, whatever) in playing? You play because you get entertained and excited on the next level or next villain/opponent/alien or whatever!!
Bottom line: To really enjoy something, do it right. No cheating at all. Just like LIFE. You just go through with it without using guide books or walkthroughs. There are no pieces of paper you can peek at to know what's the next move. If there is, what's there to live for in the future? Right?
For walkthroughs(hehe) and more video/online games information, you can visit: Pinoy Gaming World. Hahahahahaha. Sorry, I just got to.

It has been a habit since we've been partners in school to go out and shop after we get our shy pays. We can actually used it all up in one mall visit. There's food, clothes, "unnecessary" things and more food tripping.
Then we decided to use some of our money to buy books. More deserving of our pays, I think. Thank God there's Book Sale. You can find books as low as Ph30.00, like I did. I bought two hard bound books, one is for Php70.00 - Little Doors by Paul Di Filippo and After Dachau by Daniel Quinn for only Php30.00. A hundred bucks for two hard bound-used books (they're clearly looked unused to me) is such a good deal to pass up.
I'm a one sitting reader. If and only if, I find the book really really interesting. There are stories that I can't stop reading, and would only leave the book open to go to the bathroom or eat. And After Dachau is one of those worthy books for my time. My hundred buck purchase didn't disappoint me at all. After Dachau is sucha good read if you're into Reincarnation and English History. It is fictional and at the same time very informative on historical matters that dated back during 1920's.
Reincarnation is just another belief that anybody have the freedom to choose to believe or not. It's not wrong to have an open mind and ears on that matter, as long as your principles aren't bothered at all. Topics like this catches my attention time and time again. Strangers can share anecdotes and short stories about ghosts, past lives, fairies and supersticious things anytime with me, wide-eyed and attentive.
One thing is for sure, Reincarnation may look like it is the main theme of the book, but that's just not the case. Political and historical points were given more emphasis on the storyline than that of reincarnation. According to Daniel Quinn, this book's theme is...
"...the social constructedness of history and of what we take to be the foundations of social reality."
He hopes that he will inspire people to realize the connections of the actions of our yesterday's generations and the consequences of today's rapid progress as humans. He wrote this book not to encourage the possibility of Reincarnation but to tell people the need to change course with human's relationship to its environment.
With regards to reincarnation, here's a fact: a person's body does not constitute who they are. It's what you do, what you make of yourself, your past, present and future.
