Game Rivalry

You’re set to play poker (or Scrabble or something else . . .) with a group of four. Write a story set during this game. Or, describe the ideal match: the players, the relationships — and the hidden rivalries.

I don’t play games on my phone, seldom when I do it’s this word puzzle game called Wordament. Otherwise, barely for this purpose, (I don’t even consider these as ‘games’ or ‘gaming’, nothing more than passing time without knowing what to do). Though just last night, something different occurred.

There’s this game called Chain Reaction which I played once and seemed fun. Not because it was a puzzle game requiring thinking too, but more of the game itself, how those bubbles pop and one move can throw sides upside down. Some friends I met last night, few of them have this contest among themselves. And among them, this one bugger took his own pride in being the champ with another lame win slogan which I didn’t bother remembering. But gotta admit, playing several times, teaming up and even with a four player match, that guy won every freaking time. Call it strategic thinking or just pure dam good luck (well he isn’t the brightest types, and so going to kill me if he reads this lol) 😛

Anyways, fun game. You should try it if you haven’t already on your phone. As I said, screw thinking, I just like those things popping around.

Connect the Dots

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.

I don’t need to scour the internet for an uninteresting story, my life one so far would suffice *alas*

Meanwhile, every time I read about connecting dots, one of those things which come to my mind is this. Yeah, I know you must have seen it several times already, but once more won’t hurt, and will remind you what’s what. I mean seriously, just see it (again)

Placebo Effect

If you could create a painless, inexpensive cure for a single ailment, what would you cure and why?

Common cold. Seriously. Here’s why:

  • No cure exists, and an instant cure for it would be really helpful.
  • While there are more dreadful diseases like cancer and AIDS which needs treating, well, most of the best minds are already on it, and many answering this question would respond with the same. So enough people already on it.
  • It sucks. Royally.
