I found a game that has ABSOLUTELY taken my obsession to a new level. It's called Bricks Breaker and I'm on level freain' 234 cause I'm fucking amazing at it. I want to explain it to you, I'm so excited about it.
It's the basic brick breaker game. You have a ball that you're breaking bricks with. Aim and shoot and you break bricks until you move to the next level.
What's ironic is that it is so much geometry and physics, both of which I SUCKED at, that I don't even feel like I should be playing this game. I learned NOTHING of those subjects in high school. I cheated off of Ryan McFarlin and Esteban Ortiz, respectively, in both of those subjects that I was able to graduate high school. But get off me on this GAME! What's great is that I learn now when I make certain moves. If I hit the first block in a certain way, it goes a certain way and I know that I'll break more bricks than if I went for 1) a different block and 2) a different angle. When I hit it wrong, it doesn't do what I want it to. (That's what she said) The more bricks you knock on the first go-round, the further in the level you'll get. But you have to pay attention! Because if you hit that first one wrong, you won't be able to set yourself up for the rest of the round.
Kind of like when you see a situation come up that you've seen before in life. If you react the same way that you did before, you'll make the same mistakes and knock the same "bricks" down before, but still end up failing the round. Repeated behavior will end in the same results. Hmm.
Anyway, there are times that you hit the first block right and it doesn't end up in the same position with the same blocks eliminated. Which is weird - but science. I don't have an excuse for that but it is what it is. That's when you think you're doing it right, but it doesn't end up the way it's supposed to. That's fucking frustrating because if you don't hit that block right, it doesn't set you up for the next block to knock out. And then it's a chain reaction! so you have to start the round over and over again until it does what you want it to. But I HAVE to know that it is the way I'm making that first move that doesn't make it do what I want it to that makes the second move fall into place! SO FRUSTRATING!!
Kind of like in life when you think you're doing the right thing but after you make that move, you realize you're still making the wrong move that you've done before and your next level isn't coming because of that first messed up move. Hmm.
Anyway, when the blocks move down, I get scared as hell. Because they are all worth a lot more the further they move down. So like, the first level is only 68, which I have 68 balls. But the further I play the game, the more balls I game - which means the more bricks I have to bust. And they are coming so fast!!!
But the fast the ball goes, the more blocks that bust! And it's getting me to my goal of clearing the goal!! And I even get help from time to time. Like the little "signs" that the board gives me that knocks out blocks without me having to try. Which is awesome. Because that's blocks I don't have to worry about now because I used the sign to knock them out.
Kinda like when there are those signs in life that help me get to my resolution. As long as I use those signs, they eliminate the "blocks" in my life that would otherwise take longer to eliminate. Hmm.
Anyway, when those blocks keep moving further and further down, coming closer and closer to the end game, I have to pay attention. If I only have 68 balls, and the blocks on that level are set at 91, but there is a level above that is at 112 and 98, I have to evaluate the situation. Do I hit the 91? Or do I go for the 210 above it to get the blocks to a level I can handle on the way down so that I can eliminate them as they come along? DECISIONS, DECISIONS!!! Do I risk it? Should I hit the higher level that would, rules of physics say, would be eliminate the lower level because "what goes up, must come down"? Ugh!!
Kind of like when I know that I see something coming in the future and have to decide if I want to do something to avoid the consequences now or just deal with them when they come. Will I be able to handle them when they get here? Or should I avoid the heartache now before they even get here? Hmm.
Anyway, clearing a level might be the most addictive part!!!
It's freaking the GREATEST feeling!! And so addicting!! Because now, the next board shows and the next complex that is going to take so much time to figure out. And I love a freakin' challenge. I want to see it and see if I can figure out, based on the levels before, how I can beat it so I can see that "CLEAR!" sign again. Oh man. So competitive that I can't let this thing beat me.
Kind of like when getting to the other side of those situations in life feels. I made it to the other side and am ready for the next obstacle. Making it through one is so empowering, you wish a nigga WOULD give you another. Hmm.
Anyway, you know what sucks? Is having to spend DAYS on a level. Like, level 215. I spent SO MANY DAYS trying to get passed that one. It was so frustrating, I had to look up on YouTube how to beat it. And even so, I had to take that knowledge and apply it. Which trying to replicate someone's esle's situation on that level only told me how THEY did it! Fuck that dude on YouTube. YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE!! Maybe my thumbs are too fat to do that?! Sheesh. But I had to try, right? Why not. It worked for them. And I failed. Oh my hammy, I failed. A lot. I had to see this goddamn screen so many times, I almost made it my profile picture.
Fuck you, game!!
But what you gonna do? Quit? Or fucking pull your panties up and RETRY like a muthafucka! And that's what I did. Because I ain't gonna let no fucking app on a phone beat ME.
Kinda like when situations in life get you down. And you "fail". Fuck 'em. You learn not to do that again. I had to learn not to make the same break again. No to aim for the same block again. Go a different route. Or end up in this same position again. And so what? You "failed" again. Try again. You have endless lives in these situations - as long as you keep trying. It's when you quit that you REALLY fail.
Anyway. I'm on level 234 now with this stupid game and this app might take over my life. But it's so much fun!!! And Mrs.Black and Doc Parker MAY even be proud of me today because what I've learned about geometry and physics because of this stupid game. Ha. We'll see if they read this one day when they're searching for their shitty student who cheated during the whole year like a mexican.
Anyway. Just wanted to share this game with you guys.
Until next time.....
