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.
