Free Write 5

I've been having a lot of trouble writing lately. Not in that I have trouble deciding what to write - I always do - but just that I don't want to. Like, I want to write, and I want to work on my book, but I don't want to sit down and do it. It feels like the pages are almost mocking me, which sounds stupid when I say it out loud. It feels like I've just done this too consistently for too long, sometimes. But when I even just think about taking a day off from it, I feel frustrated and angry. I hate myself for even letting the thought cross my mind. I think I'd throw a tantrum if I actually let myself go through with it.

I've been doing a lot of mobile gaming lately, which isn't really something I normally do. A week ago, Nintendo came out with their first mobile game, Miitomo, though to describe it as a game is a bit of a stretch. It's like a personalized social media - kind of. And it's about as close to social media as I'll ever get. A couple days ago, Namco Bandai released Tales of Link, their mobile tie in to their Tales of series, which I am a fan of thanks to a couple of my friends. It's interesting little thing, though to be honest, it can't hold my attention all that long. I'm not sure how long I'll keep playing it.

The one that really caught me was Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X (that X is pronounced key, by the way. It's complicated. Don't worry about it). It just came out today, and seeing as Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game series of all time, I couldn't just pass over it. Plus it actually has some plot relevance to the series, because fuck you for only wanting to play the numbered entries. But god, dude, it's actually fun. It's the first time I've ever played a mobile game that actually felt like an enjoyable gaming experience. Though it would be better if my big fat fingers weren't covering the speakers all the time, because I love the music in the KH games as well.

Speaking of music, there's actually another game that I got into just yesterday. Me and games, I know. Almost like I'm a gamer or something. It's called Amplitude, and it is a very bizarre little rhythm game that has a storyline about going into the brain of a comatose patient. If that sounds like it doesn't really make sense, well, that's because it really doesn't. It's kind of only briefly presented between stages, and half the time it's just like "Look, it's a picture of a brain. Coma!" But the gameplay is fun, and the music is pretty fitting, even if it's something I wouldn't normally listen to. I'm insane, so I tried to jump straight from beginner mode to expert. It's really hard, but I enjoy it. I honestly have more fun with these kinds of games in the harder difficulties, even if I'm not particularly good at them. I get really frustrated, too, but... Oh well.
