Plants vs Zombies

Ok, I know all I talk about is video games, but oh I love them. Anyway, there's this cool "casual" game called Plants vs Zombies for PC, it costs like 10 bucks, you can get it on steam (that's where I got it).

It's about plants...and zombies, haha. Ok, zombies are trying to get to your (or someone's) house, and you have a big frontyard where they have to pass through, but to keep them from getting near the house, you have to plant some...plants to keep them away, yeah, doesn't make sense. There are lots of types of plants, basic ones are a shooting plant, a plant that serves as a barrier for zombies to eat and stall them while the other plants shoot them, a Sun generating plant (you need sun to keep planting more and more), and so forth. That's the whole point of the game, try and keep the zombies away, but it's pretty cool, cause you have to plant strategically so that they do what you want them to do. Well, you should try and play it, you can download a free demo on steam (steam is a software, in case you didn't know, so you'd have to download steam first). I think this kind of games are enjoyable by almost everybody and good if you have some 10-15 minutes in between things you have to do. So yeah... short one :)

I remember when...

Ok, remember when the Internet was just invented... how your parents used to tell you how they managed to live without chat rooms or emails or all kinds of stuff you had because of the internet...ok, maybe that didn't happen to everybody, but it did happen, probably similar to how your grandparents told your parents how they lived without a TV in every room, or without a TV at all. And I can't keep but wonder, what could we possibly be telling our 10, 15 year old children??? Well, I know what...

"I remember when we didn't even have Google", right??? I mean, they way things are going, Google will be the unquestionable ruler of the world (planet Google, if you will). We will tell our kids how we had to remember like 10 different usernames and passwords and not having anything linked to a same username, how we had to use hotmail or yahoo, with all those annoying messages at the end of every email sent and those 20 megabytes of storage, how we needed to use a standalone software to chat with someone, how we had to download videos in the ugliest formats before viewing them, but most importantly, how the internet was before cloud computing. I mean, you have a Google account, you have access to stuff you didn't even know existed, and everything is in the internet, you don't need to download software, you don't need to specify your settings every time you login in a different computer, you just open your Chrome browser (Google, haha), go to "whatever.google.com" and that's it.

But there's a key difference between us and our parents...they told us that because they didn't have the slightest idea what all this new stuff was and preferred to do it their way, but we DO know what all this new stuff is, and we like it. So more like telling our kids that in a spiteful way because we don't know what they're doing, we will tell them as a story to amuse them, to make them go "Really???" or "How did you manage to do xxx???"

Damn, I'm feeling old just thinking about it...but that's what happens when you have a shitload of time, you think about useless unimportant stuff, haha.
