Another Wednesday, another
Post-it. Today we look at conquering that
little guy feeling. The one where you
feel that work is all around you which has a wicked vendetta against you. Kinda like some of your Exes. But there are a few games which allow us to
be the big guy. To push the path of
destiny for others. To play God, in a
round and about way.
I recently
purchased a game called Banished from Steam.
A Sim with deals with the hardships of a township startup. This is one of the games with life and death
play a pretty big role in the development of the Sims and every decision you
make impacts them for the good or bad. This
is in the same flow as Children of the Nile, but in Egyptian
times. This sort of games deal with management of Sims
with jobs, home, health and religion.
You build on the fact that every building has a purpose, and if you
stray too far from home, you die. Death
being the ending factor. You can always look at Sims 3 and have direct
contact with each Sim where the world around may not be a factor, but your input
will. A easy to play, and quick to learn
(never cook without learning it first) experience. Then we have Sim City. Games where we take
large numbers of Sims, and direct, grow, and build up the environment only to
have the ability to have it all crash down in a ball of flame, or an earthquake, volcano, flood, Monster attack,
Alien invasion, or whatever. All of
these allow you to have a impact of little lives that are not your own, and
have little to no care when disaster strikes.
So,
when you feel you have no control of your life, and the environment around you
is too much for you to control. Try one
of these games. Get lost in the feel of
power you have over others. Just be
ready with you are finished. Open your front door slowly and watch the skies.
