PLAY TO MEET

Hi everyone!  Sorry for such delays, this month had been so busy :O  Anyway, continuing on with the gaming theme (like the previous entry), I headed into another gaming competition, and met another guy, lol.  Enjoy!

There was a big gaming competition going on and I met a guy named Rob while attending the event.  His gamertag was "Muttle something", I couldn't remember the second part.  I learned that he was a small time gamer until he got really good and became one of the top-ranking players worldwide.  

The game itself was rounds-based and was very random in terms of what was needed to win each time.  In short, every round had it's own objective.  

Eg.  One round was to grab a special item and keep it in your possession the longest.  Another round dealt with words and sentencing, and you had to keep judges entertained.  

The player's HUD display would start as a four-sided diamond shape then change into a hexagon after ranking up enough.  I found that really neat!  

I played the game quite a bit too, but wasn't as hardcore even though I was good enough get first place during some rounds. There were also competitions where scores were tallied after a set of rounds (like 10 rounds) and you only scored a point if you won the round.  

Rob and I didn't know each other too well, but we sat beside each other during the competition and talked between rounds and helped each other out (even though he was already top-ranking, lol).  He also wanted to hangout after the current round, and I said yes :)

Thanks for reading! :D  Gaming dreams are always fun, lol.  Sometimes I wonder if any of the game mechanics I've dreamed about have become reality?  Especially since there've been so much advancement in technology and programming.
