The best way to spend time

   I was fourteen when I saw to my cousin played “Age of empires II” in his computer. This game called my attention, because it's about guide armies to war, and then I started to play it. “Age of empires” is the most important game in my life because it started me in the “world of video games”. 

Well, in this time, I’m going to talk about of PC video games (or computer video games), because this are my favourites video games and usually I use my computer to play videogames. In fact, I spend around four hours’ daily playing videogames. I consider that play video games (for a long time) is a big problem when I must study for the tests, but I need play them because is the only way that I can concentrate, and, only after that, I can study.

   I like play multiplayer video games, specially the online video games, because this mode is more difficult than when I play only or against the PC. Moreover, I like three kinds of video games: Role player games (RPG), first person games (shooting games), and real-time strategy game. My favourite is the last kind, and my favourite PC video game is “Age of Empires”, especially the third version of this game (with expansions).

   Now, the most important part in this post: my ranking.

   1° Age of Empires (all versions and expansions). 

This game is a real-time strategy game. The game allows the user to act as the leader of a civilization  by advancing it through four ages,  gaining access to new and improved units with each advance. Age of Empires requires the player to develop a civilization from a handful of colons. To assure victory, the player must gather resources in order to pay for new units, buildings and more advanced technology. Resources must also be preserved, as no new resources become available as the game progresses, for example, trees that are cut down will not grow back. Advancement between ages is researched at the Town Center, and each advancement brings the player new technologies, weapons, and units.

2° Call of Duty 4

Is a fist person game (shooting game). Set in modern wars, this game is simple: kill your enemy with your favourite weapon.

3° Diablo III

Diablo III is an action role-playing game (RPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. This is the continuation of Diablo II and the third part of the series that was created by the American company Blizzard. Its theme is dark and scary fantasy.The world was saved from destruction twenty years ago by a handful of unnamed heroes in Diablo and Diablo II. These heroes, after surviving the attack of the army of hell, have gone mad from their sufferings. Represents a new generation of heroes to face the evil forces threatening the world of Sanctuary. Players will have the opportunity to explore landmarks like Tristan, in the dark fantasy world of Sanctuary.

holydays pleace!!

I think that I need holydays soon! This month has been very stressing from men and holydays are my liberation time. The most expected moment is holydays. I prefer my holydays in a beach or lake. I like breathe clean air, walking in the beach and see the waves. I like travel with nice company (with friends or some girl), and I prefer stay in a house because is more comfortable than a camping.

My last holydays were great! In my summer holydays I went to Pucon, with my family, where I had an awesome time (it was sunny almost days) and I visited very places as lakes, rivers, terms and waterfalls, and I swam on every rivers that I visited.

In my future holydays, I would like visit the north of Chili and visit all beaches of Arica, Antofagasta or discover some hidden beach with nice waves. Also I would like visit Peru and Bolivia. I would like travel with my friends and a little money. I feel that I need my precious holydays and escape soon of this boring city!!!

The analyst, post 6

I’m not a book worm, but I don’t dislike read. I only read book from time to time, because I don’t have too time to read, I prefer play video games, draw, dance or listen music, but when I don’t know to do, sometimes, I read a book. When I was study in the school I read more books than now, because in these times I have many free times.  Now I read more than in my school’s times, but I don’t only read books. I prefer a fiction books, because it surprise me with new realities, new worlds, and make me imagine every detail of history, and this is very funny. Now, I read many articles and chapters of books, but don’t read a complete book. In my free times, I like read comics because it is very funny, and have it pictures. Is the perfect blend!

I recently read a book called “The Analyst” by John Katzenbach. On his fifty-third birthday, Dr. Ricky Starks receives a letter, in which the writer, who calls himself Rumpelstiltskin, threatens to ruin his life in revenge for something Starks did years ago. The plan is simple - if Starks can guess his tormentor's identity within a fortnight, he will go free. If he does not, Rumpelstiltskin will attack his family and kill one of them - unless Starks kills himself. With the game started and the clock ticking, has Starks got a chance?

"The Analyst" has a very innovative plot. Taking the original nursery rhyme and adapting it to a modern setting seems to have paid off for Katzenbach, as the fast pace and the plot twists come together to form an excellent thriller. The novel is centrally character-driven, as the author uses the character of Ricky Starks to show the reader the world through his introspective and analytical eyes, putting him through the emotional mill and eventually changing him entirely. Some will argue that Starks' transformation is ridiculous and unbelievable, but although it may be necessary to slightly stretch your credulity, the novel works and it makes for great reading.

A magic place

   My cousin took this picture on our last trip to Pucon, in February, when we went to "leap of China", a place of difficult access, far from the city center, between the hills, following the course of a river. This place is very cold and wet, because it is dominated by a large waterfall.

   This photo shows a beautiful place where exist lots of vegetation, rocks and logs. In the center of the photo are my brother (at the end of the row), my friend, Alejandro (in front of the line), and me (center). My cousin took this picture while we were crossing a huge trunk and the wet wind hit our faces.

   This photo is wonderful, because it shows the omnipotence of nature. When I see these trees, I think: we are so small! Also, this beautiful photo reminds me all the beautiful places we met in this region and the good times we had in our adventure. I love this photo.

The end of boredom

  

Every day before leaving home, check my pockets, looking for three things: house’s keys, my wallet and my cell phone. My cell phone is my favorite piece of technology. I can’t leave home without my cell phone because it has become an important tool in my life. My cell phone is my favorite piece of technology.

 I had my first phone at age 14, I was very happy because all my friends had phones. My first cell phone was a very basic phone; I only used it for calls, and play the few games that had. Two years later, I got a new cell phone, because I lost the other cell phone. I used my cell phone not only to call or play in it; also I use it to connect to internet, and to review my E-mail, chat with friends, take a pictures, etcetera.

I like my phone because it takes away the boredom. Every morning, when I go to university, I use my cell phone to hear music and not get bored. I love my cell phone because My live would be very bored without my cell phone. 

Who is writing?

There is a person behind every post. Here I am. My name is Sebastian. I was born in Santiago, Chile, in Providencia, one morning in August. I grew up in a neighborhood of Estacion Central. I studied in different schools of Santiago, as Holanda School, where I began to see the world with different eyes. Then, I was in José Victorino Lastarria high school, where I found my best friends, and develop my interest in psychology. That's why I'm studying psychology at University of Chile.

I live with my mom, my dad and my brother. in my family I'm the older of two brothers (I'm the most grumpy and serious of the two).I have some hobbies like as painting in oil, drawing, swimming and rafting. Also I like listening to music. In this sense, my favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Helloween. I love listening to music with my friends while we are drinking beer and we are eating lots of food, is great!

Helloween, the fathers of the Power Metal

Helloween is my favorite music band. Let me tell you a little from this. This band was born in the 80’s, in Germany, and is considered a pioneer in the genre of the power metal, together with Rage. The first album the band had the same name as this: “Helloween”. This band started playing songs considered as a heavy metal, but the singularly style of the Kai Hansen, the first vocalist of Helloween, changed the style of the band and started a new style inside of the Metal music: the "Power metal". 

Is clear that the style of the band is the "Power metal". In this genre, and also in this band, the songs are fast and powerful, that’s why because like me very much Helloween. The best of songs of Helloween is “Keeper of the seven keys” because is very fast and heavy, this song is great.
This band is very great because was the inspiration for the later bands of Power metal music, as “Gamma Ray”, “Stratovarius” and “Blind Guardian”, that’s why Helloween is the father of "Power metal"
