Mega Gaming Sunday
Keywords: Life.

As mentioned in the Resolutions for 2010 I'm naming Sunday afternoon Mega Gaming Sunday. It's a re-branding of Sunday afternoon, specifically the hours circa 1300 to 1900 hours. Basically, those six (possibly four when busy) or so hours on a Sunday afternoon are now Mega Gaming Sunday, colloquially known as MGS, and will involve gaming of one sort or another.

MGS is born out of the MBA. Which is a bit weird when put it like that, but more specifically it's born out of the time management of the MBA. It demands you put time into it. In my view, regular time, constantly hit with military precision. Historically, this semester aside, this has meant slots 1900 to 2100 on most evenings and when writing essays usually Saturday and / or Sunday morning. It seemed to work. I'm going to do it for my leisure activities, and MGS is it. I've put a repeating 'appointment' in my Google Calendar, it doesn't get more official than that.

So, what is going to happen on MGS? You know, nothing that special, it's more about actually doing it. Obviously, 50% of Mega Gaming Sundays, on average, will be taken up with the regular campaign of the gaming group. Currently the 4E campaign. The remaining days might be spent playing games on the Xbox, such as working my way to some sort of interesting plot in Grand Theft Auto IV, it's rumoured to exist. I might also be be getting blown away by the space opera awesome of Mass Effect 2. I may also put time aside to watch a film or TV shows.

There is another angle to this: the fact I have an inputs problem. True, I have the MBA, which does work for me on a similar level, but that input translates into something different than what watching films, TV shows and playing imaginative games of various types translates into. Basically, playing games begets more games which in turn keeps the imagination active. Watching exciting genres films and TV shows has a similar effect as does playing awesome computer games. The weighting has been too focused on the MBA. If I'm a bit more aggressive with my time there has to be space for both.
