As some of
you have probably witnessed, I was gone for about two weeks at the beginning of
April, celebrating my birthday by going on vacation. I had some episodes
prepared with me on a stick so that I could upload one every other day to keep
you fellows entertained, but sadly the promise of an existing internet
connection turned out to be nothing but wishful dreams.
So there I
was, on my birthday in a new location and without the possibility to give in to
my online addiction. What did I do to pass the time? I played the only game
available on my girlfriend’s laptop: Plants vs. Zombies.
And what
can I say? It wasn’t all that bad. I played it quite a lot and soon started to
get a hang of it, learned the stats of all my plants, worked towards achievements
and hated the music for its catchiness. I beat the game once, but admittedly
turned my back on it the moment internet connectivity was established. Such a
silly, pointless game, but still… thank you, Plants vs. Zombies! Thank you for
entertaining me for otherwise I would have been forced to face real life on my
birthday…
