My Fight With Death

To Win Over Death is not the easiest thing in life. I lost this time, in the computer game Hexen 2. I sat up last night and played alone to myself and now I have a pain in my shoulder because of all the battles. My head isn't well either. I played trough the whole hell like domain level in one night and I was facing Death by the end of it. There are four domain levels in the game, they are Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome; Mezo-America and Europe of the Medieval Ages. You also get Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, one to face by the end of every domain level. They are Famine, Death, Pestilence and War. In the end of the game you will meet the last of the Serpent Riders, called Eidolon. There are different characters you can play, I play a Necromancer guy, in other words a magician kind of guy. So far I've concered Blackmarsh; the Europe of the Medieval Ages domain, Mazaera; the Mezo-America domain. I have also destroyed Famine. By the end of Mazaera I was to fight Death and like I said, I lost in a big way. I guess the fanzy weapons and the cool attitude doesn't always do the trick. You have to take a break sometimes... It's a pretty difficult battle game to play. What I like about these kinds of games, is the graphics, they are quite good. For me to play a battle game, I have to have some really good graphics, an interesting world and no military stuff or karate. I love the whole hell kind of enviroment you find in Hexen, it makes me dream terrible dreams and feel safe and warm when I wake up. I've always wanted drama in a safe and cool way. I'm someone that probably would have loved to live in a Stephen King story. The battle games make me express all my aggressions too and I do have a lot of that...

...but is this interesting to read about in an online diary? I have won over death in reality once and I have a friend that have won several times. Should'nt I maybe write more about this?, than about stupid fantasy worlds... I've never thought of my life to be special or interesting, but maybe others would if I would be more open. I have meet people that do think my life is worth hearing about, for me it's just my life and it's different when you face it every day, than when you look into a window from the street. Besides there are more passionate drama going on in my head than in my life...

I am going to win over death later, I have saved and I'll beat them all soon... Battles are not that interesting really. It's rather naive to fight death when it's at your side, because sooner or later, we will all lose. Time before the fight and the loss is much more interesting. To live is a harder thing and when you stop fighting and touch your own existence with your naive faith, you realize that it's more important to live when you fight than to fight when you are living. In my experience I feel this way... People should learn to give up more as well, to accept that in some ways everyone have to lose. In that way, they would probably learn to better know the things they lose to death when they are living...
