the big cumfy chair...and why it was created

Now im sure that everybody has seen this cumfy chair at some point in time. maybe at a freinds home. maybe at your own house. but everybody knows it. its not the couch o no. its the other one, the one thats meant for a single person, it leans back and raises a nice fluffy pillow like part to hold up your legs. some come with cup holders and others can even rub your back.
the reason i bring this chair up is because a day or so ago me and some freinds where in my buddys room, " as college students we dont have much else to do once we finish all of our class work" this buddy of mine had just purchased himself one of the before mentioned chairs. now usually we all tell jokes and have a good time. but this time my good freind..who we shall call Jimmy.. decided to ask, What can you possibly do with this thing. the question came after we all had decided to call dibs on the seat, at the exact same time. the question caused all of us to take a seat around the big cumfy seat and ponder as we waited for the pizza to arrive.. again we are college students and its summer..we get bored easily and so we find any excuse to take our mind off of it.
my freind Jimmy being the person that he is decided to focus mainly on the sexual implications of the chair. being as how this isnt that kind of blog i will just cut it down and say that this guy has far to much free time on his hands, it scares me that he sleeps only two doors down the hall from me. my other freind who we shall call Alfred focused on the gaming implications, if you read my previous post about the casual and extreme gamer this man would be the shining image of an extreme gamer. he is the guy in starbucks screaming into his headset. to further prove his passion for gaming he wrote down a total of thirteen positions in which you could set up your gaming consul to reach maximum "cumfyness" (this word was invented by another of my freinds..lets call her Lina who happened to walk in at that time). now the four us sat there. around the great cumfy chair of cumfyness. and slowly i began to realize exactly how bored we were. so i decided that the best way to break this curse of extreme boredum was to throw an idea so out of this world, so far out of the box that everybody would be blown away by it. and so i bravely stood walked forward and said "ive got it" my freinds looked at me with a glint of hope in their eyes "its for ....SITTING" the smack of extreme common sens shocked them out of it. we laughed it off and continued to wait for the pizza which i should add didnt arrive for about an hour. so that everybody is the point of the big cumfy chair..to sit, and in great times of need provide several hours of entertainment

The casual and the "extreme"

Well ladys and gentlemen let me introduce myself...my name is Hernan...but for the rest of my bloging life I shall be known to all as "chico" mainly because that's the nickname all my buddys call me by. This blog is intended to inform the casual gamer as well as the more....how can I put it..."extreme" gamer...and also to give me something to do when I get bored.....sorta like a hobby. So how about we get to the chunky part of the gaming info life..

Now I myself am what I like to call...a casual gamer...for those of you who don't know the difference..allow me to explain. The casual gamer is the guy or girl that has a system and plays it mostly on the weekends. Although the system may be up to date they will let it be known that they didn't wait on line outside of a "gamestop" just to get the darn thing. No the casual gamer prides him or herself in knowing that they have enough self control to wait the week or two that it takes the stores to heal from the hellish assault of the "extreme" gamers who wanted that new shiny consol bad enough to wake up at 6am and wait outside of the nearest electronics store in the hope that they become the first person in the city to get the damn thing.
This brings us to the "extreme" gamer. These are the people who in a sense drive the gaming industry. They are the souls who at 4 o'clock in the morning are screaming at the monitor because they just got owned by some guy named "srgnt Spankalot" completly oblivious to the fact that the people in the room next to him are trying to rest up for that midterm exam that starts in 4 hours and 30 minutes! ...but I digres. The "extreme" gamer has no problem with annoying the peaceful denizens of lets say your local starbucks by screaming "BRAVO ATTACK...BRAVO DO YOU COPY" in the middle of a morning rush...o no. Not even if the cute girl from philosophy class was sitting not two seats over from your table would he care. But as I mentioned before these brave few are the driving force behind gaming industry. They alone will find the glitch in a game world at 12:30 that caused them to lose that epic purple sword thingy and by 12:34 written a brain splittingly detailed description so long that our english professor would have cried tears of joy. Not to mention so many strange computer gaming "lingo's" such as "pwned" I mean what the hell is pwned...how long do you have to play to reach a point where u just say " I'm no longer using the O...so lets use P.." and everybody else agrees!!!!. But I digress for you see it is this novel of a complaint that he posted up on the games main website...and I kid you not..five minutes later it got a reply....a simple apology and a notification of work in progress....now that ladys and gentlemen is what I call fast service. And so there you have it although they may get on our nerves..although they may be able to slay your entire team..with one grenade.. In "Halo" or beat you on every race track in any racing game EVER created the "extreme" gamer is a very necessary part of the gaming community giving casual gamers a reason to play that games solo campain even tho it was clearly meant to be a multiplayer game
