The Title Game Exercise

Toxic

Teammates calling you names, creating chaos with stupid plays and idiotic decisions that blow your mind. Why was I called the idiot when I did everything I could possibly do the right way? Did I do something wrong to make them angry, was it really my fault? Then I remember what they were doing when the game began, pinging enemies when they were none to be found, pinging loot and immediately picking up and just shooting when no one on the rest of the team is ready. I slowly begin my descend to madness, leaving games if their stats aren't good, hogging the loot, and not reviving teammates who simply piss me off. Have I become toxic?

Battle

I knew I shouldn't have gotten it. It was on sale for 10 dollars and I know I cannot resist buying something that was on sale but I knew I would end up regretting it later. The first fights between people online were hard but I was enjoying myself but all that came crashing down once my friend downloaded the game as well. Fighting games I struggled with but I had gotten this game before my friend and I thought this was my chance to finally beat him. I ended winning the first couple of games and within a couple of days, it was me who was losing constantly. I got so angry I deleted the game never to download it again.

Hotaruno Hikari

Work, work, work. Bombarded with requests to take recycled televisions to the warehouse, carryout televisions for customers, all while having to do 3 other jobs that are all important and time-sensitive. How can one guy working the weekends possibly get all this done without getting stressed? Hotaruno Hikari, when I hear this song all my stress and negative thoughts simply fade away. Ended up staying an extra hour to finish all your work? Doesn't matter, Hotaruno Hikari saves the day and all my other songs in my Japanese playlist. But how long will it be until my favorite song no longer calms me down?

Louder

During long stretches of gaming sessions, I tend to get louder. Unlike most people, I don't partake in a lot of social events like going to parties or many gatherings proposed by a lot of my friends. At work, people assume that I am a quiet, calm, and collected person but as soon as I get home and online, that's where the loud version of me takes over. Jokingly screaming into the mic (with a high pitched voice) and my friends and I reciting our favorite movie or tv quotes, my family can hear my voice all over the house. It was only a matter of time before everyone would start screaming at me to shut up, only to notice that they were also loud as well. 

Why do movie snacks cost so much?

It is already expensive enough to watch a movie in theaters unless they have some promotions going on but why do I have to pay almost 30 dollars to try to enjoy myself while watching a movie? Wings? Would love to have them. Popcorn? A classic but even that costs an arm and a leg to get. I had enough of enjoying a movie and seeing everyone around me enjoying snacks. I already conditioned myself to when I watch any content I am eating as well and seeing others enjoying it destroyed me. I decided I needed to sneak snacks in the next time I went to see a movie, no matter the cost.

Pokemon

Emerald, Leafgreen, and Diamond all introduced me to the Pokemon franchise. Building a team of monsters to defeat other trainers and eventually, the champion along the way was the greatest feeling of all time. I rarely finish video games because I simply don't have the time anymore but Pokemon was always the game I finished in one go. Not only did I finish these games but I played multiple different playthroughs trying to build the perfect team around every different starter. How could one game have so many different possible team combinations? For as long as I can, I will continue to be excited for the release of every Pokemon main storyline games and hope that the company doesn't waste Pokemon's potential.
