TV - Glory Be
Been playing Counter Strike:Condition Zero non-stop for the past couple of weeks. Am blown away by the graphics...and the way it haunts my dreams (All my recent dreams have had a cross-hair somewhere in the frame).
What's with the TV connection? Well, was just surfing channels and stumbled across a TV show which shows guys dressed up in fatigues and sporting warpaint, split into teams, playing this game over a network. This is ostensibly for the benefit of the large percentage of people who have never seen a computer, have never played a computer game, are absolute social outcasts, are starved for quality entertainment, and who would genuinely cheer for these brave souls. 'Heart se'. It's actually a very noble concept, if you think of it. Why deny the pleasures of computer gaming to the masses?
I almost creamed my shorts. Could not take the excitement.
Was really proud of the new standards which Indian television programming has reached. There was a time, around a decade ago, when good old DD would show a rainbow patti waala screen, with the most irritating sound known to mankind playing in the background, when they had nothing to show (That sound was a sure-shot blood pressure raiser). There was no compulsion to bombard people with such stunning content. We're so lucky to be in this day and age...
Oops...there go my shorts again!!!!
