Do you just fucking hate it when people refer to, I dunno, something like white water rafting as a 'real adventure'. Like, WTF? If it doesn't involve a gunfight, a car chase or a fist-fight with a henchman ontop of a fucking burning zeppelin then ITS NOT A FUCKING ADVENTURE. It's not an adventure if you book it online and follow a guide on a pre-planned schedule. Trekking to the North Pole is not an adventure, unless the reason you are going there is to destroy a Nazi secret base where they are building a superweapon and/or planning to resurrect Hitler. Get it? Going into a dangerous situation for your own amusement is not an adventure. Being woken in the middle of the night by a dying old man who warns you must stop the Order from uniting the Seven Seals before the full moon or All Is Lost before tearing around downtown in a stolen police car being followed by mysterious gunmen in creepy black cars in a desperate fucking race against time? And at least one helicopter is destroyed that day. Thats a fucking adventure. So next time I google 'real adventures' I want to see www.adventurersfirehire.com I want to click on that shit and see: Have Nazi's stolen your Ancient Artifact of Power? Discovered a portal to another dimension in your basement? Town being overrun by undead horrors? Has you corporations secret medical experiments just got out of hand? Call us today!
I don't think I have ever heard anybody use the word 'adventure' in a sentence when talking to me unless we were either discussing 'action adventure' genre games.
lol true. In fact, if anything did, then game designers wouldn't be doing their job! I actually know of one person who had a real adventure. This girl I met was doing aid work someplace. On the way their she was stopped by border guards, threatened at gunpoint and bribed her way out. She then got the next country with no money or valuables whatsoever except for travelers checks. So she used her local knowldge to make contacts with the local mafia (waaay more scary than the crazy border guards, but more polite ) in order to convert checks into US cash (local currency worthless). Anyhoo the full story would take pages. Point is, she is a crazy badass chick, and she was their for a good cause, not just looking for an interesting vacation.
Sky diving was more fun than any game I ever played. Having sex in public areas. Driving around with my friend Jessie with a pistol in a stolen car looking to kill some 6'7 nigger we got into a fight with earlier. Doin acid at a mars volta/system of a down concert. Rave on ecstasy and knocking some faggot out for talking shit. Sideshows in Oakland with races and shutting down freeways doing donuts and having hundreds of cars running from the cops all at once. I could go on. Video games are just time killers and rarely exciting.. Well ever since they got rid of 9-mine ninjas..
I'm not trying to brag just encourage people to get out and live life instead of rely on games for entertainment. Real life is much much better than any game. You can't live with out risking life.
Gonna have to agree with dubster My heart got pumping everytime I was laying down those 8 mines... ;P
I got bored of doing that kinda thing for myself. (Can't say I've ever tried to shoot a 'nigger' though...) I'd just like to be in a car chase for a good reason. Not just for the thrill alone, y'know?
how about life's not worth living if you don't take risks. I'm not saying do stupid shit. Just don't be agoraphobic and rely on video games for entertainment. The song incubus - the warmth. "not everyone out there is that fucked up and cold" Adventures are out there waiting for you.
I'm sure the billions of people who never had a "true adventure" in their lives are really regretting it right about now.
If your sarcastically saying that then I would say if they ever had just one adventure they would really regret not to have had more. Natural highs are the best ones.
