Games are like a get away form the real life problems, in a way if you loose in a game you get to start allover again and have no problem with that.  But in life you can not start again and you have to deal with your losses and hope that you get another chance to try again.  A game is a way of entertainment, for other people a way of life and a way of career and a way of making a living, its a lot of ways people can take gaming.  I personally don't have that much interest in games, I am more of a realistic person like to treat my life as a game only without the fact that you don't have a second or third chance in some occasions.  I know that sometimes when I do find a game that I really like I get stuck in it for hours and hours and hours, trying to perfect myself, and my skills in the game world.  But in the end when I am done I get tired because once you finish the game, there is no more to learn no more to perfect so it gets boring after that.  In a way that is why I treat life as a game because although there is not a lot of chances to start again, you don't have a specific end and you can just keep going and keep growing and you can make it to something you never imagined to get to.  You never stop learning, which is why I don't like playing games that much.

A game I love is a game called Age of Empires and its about this colonial like game that you can make your own colony and make your people to work and get them to make a new colony for the mother country, but at the same time there are other little colonies that are trying to progress and beat you, so what you have to do is get your colony to advance and to get them the most food the most wood and the most coin so that your economy is the best as it can be, that way you can make churches and you can make and get extra resources and get yourself a very powerful militia that can help you defend your colony at first and then can help you destroy and attack the other opponent colony so that at the end you or if you got ally, both are standing and there is no more left of the opponent, how you know when the opponent is dead is when they offer you their resignation from the battle.  I really like this game because it can help me with coming up with strategies in order to win the game it can also help me in man other ways to see what I can do to defend myself when I am loosing, it does have some cheat codes to it where you can cheat and pretty much win the game in like a min but then there is no fun with that there is no point and then the whole game gets ruined.  Sometimes or most of the time I want to win by getting the most by myself without any cheats and get to win on m,y own which I do.

The game Ayiti is a very interesting game in a way it is like the game Age of Empires its a way of progress and its a way of getting from nothing to getting to a lot and getting to use skill of strategies and also help in economy tom save money and to get yourself to do stuff that can help you progress.  At first I was loosing and people were dying from here to there because I was not getting enough money for food or for shelter of for the sick who got sick because of getting them to worked out ad then they died. So I kept loosing the game and eventually I had to give up, but then I decided to give it another shot so then I decided to save some more money and focus more on work then on education at first then eventually go to education and start from there and get more and more better that way you get more jobs without working in dangerous places and not affecting your health, which then affects your money and which then affects the way you live because then you don't have enough food and your house gets bad and eventually people start to die of hunger of sickness and its really just don't mess up on one, because if you do then you mess up on everything.

The first time you play these games its kind of hard to get used to because of the strategies and stuff you have to do to win the game.  But if you are already done with that and are good to go and don't have problem with being strategic then its going to be fine.  But the first time you play these games you need to figure out a strategy you have to learn how to use your resources and also know how to survive pretty much on your own with production and with consumption, it is kind of a game that would help you train for the economy.  Its like and economics class, you figure out what your options are and the figure out how much you have of those options and how you can find the best use for them, and also the most beneficiary use for these resources and options.  After a while you being to understand that this game is more like a real life scene of events that you have to find a way to survive, and its not something that is completely made up its more of something that is actually used and you actually will or have learned from life which is why people love these games because its a real life theme game.

There are times that you want to quit the game because you don't want to keep loosing or don't understand it and its making you angry that you keep loosing after so many times of trying, and trying.  But eventually you will know how to play because it has a sense of if you keepdoing more and if you keep loosing then you find out what you are doing wrong and you can keep changing your strategy until you finally find one that makes yousucceed in the game.  It is not like there is not suck strategy that can help you get through the game, and sometime people think that they are not that smart for the game.  That is not the case you should be able to do this without any problems, and learning to find new strategies wont only make you a good game player but also helps you a lot in tough situations that you may find yourself in real life.

Dear Edgar

I really like your post. I like the way you explained everything with details. My favorite part was : " game I love is a game called Age of Empires and its about this colonial like game that you can make your own colony and make your people to work and get them to make a new colony for the mother country, but at the same time there are other little colonies that are trying to progress and beat you, so what you have to do is get your colony to advance and to get them the most food the most wood and the most coin so that your economy is the best as it can be, that way you can make churches and you can make and get extra resources and get yourself a very powerful militia that can help you defend your colony at first and then can help you destroy and attack the other opponent colony so that at the end you or if you got ally, both are standing and there is no more left of the opponent, how you know when the opponent is dead is when they offer you their resignation from the battle."
