I remember when gaming first started...That blip-tennis game, Atari 2600, Nintendo, Amiga 500 and so on...It's now gone crazy with games becoming more real, more complex and more immersive.
I've played a few games in my time...Pinball, Space invaders, Galaxian, Asteroids, Frogger, Mario Brothers and, most recently (years ago), Ghost Recon which I used to play online with my brothers. Now I'm not into gaming...Or more to the point, I prefer the real-world version.
So, I thought I'd share a video of me playing a real-world game.
What you'll see below is me shooting a stage of IPSC handgun at an invitational event a while back. This is a simple stage that doesn't involve too much movement but gives you an idea of what it's all about. The video is only about 45 seconds long as it was a short stage so take a look if you can find time in your hectic COVID-19 lockdown schedule.
Besides not being the fastest shooter, and that I make a few technical errors here which you will probably not pick up, I made two practical errors...The first I identify for you at the beginning and the second I'll leave for you to find. I'll even transfer 10 hive to the first person who picks the second mistake correctly. It's glaringly obvious.
I hit all targets here, a combination of falling steel plates and standard IPSC cardboard targets that need to be double-tapped. Points are scored according to accuracy on the target and overall score is determined by total points, less penalty points divided by elapsed time, so speed and accuracy is important. Good accuracy really slow is not good. Bad accuracy really fast isn't either.
With this form of gaming, designed to simulate realistic practical situations, there is no respawn, no cheat codes and no save-game features which gives it a more exciting edge...One only gets one chance at performing on each stage (level?) here.
Anyway, take a look at how the G-dog games if you like and feel free to ask any questions if you have them. Don't forget to have a go at picking my second error if you can...I'll happily send the first person to do so correctly some hive.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
