What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about gaming?568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbvxW9XG0s
Do you picture a bunch of over-eccentric boys kept silent by the audio of their headphones? 568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiAc7V2CO3
Do you imagine a whole new world of exaggerated color schemes and characters with various hair colors?568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yg3ZnqH0H
Do you think of racing, fighting, shooting, skating, gambling?568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWepe0BObRV
Do you live off of gaming? Or is it just one of those things that you’ll never understand the hype about?568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb2UIx6Oz4
I live for it. Every breath I take behind my screen is new power flowing to my avatar. Every level I unlock is a whole new galaxy that I must swim through. Every character I take down, every creature I pulverize, every road I wander, every weapon I hold, every item I gain, every game I win. I live for it.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65OeHECsxl

I rip off my ultra-bass headphones while gently placing them on my grazed desk. I abruptly swirl around 180 degrees in my swivel and violently jump onto the floor with my pale bare feet. It’s so cold. Was it this cold when I was gaming? I take one step closer to my door, and oh no- I’m already looking back. The room’s dark. All of the lights are off, and the windows are shut. The heater’s just barely working, we really need a new one. My desk’s cramped up with a mountain of tissues, Cola cans (some finished and some partially full), a half-eaten bowl of Ramen noodles, some thrashed-up looking figurines, lollipop wrappers and sticks, and a bunch of gambling cards dripping off the desk like water. I don’t even gamble (yet), where the hell did the cards come from?
My eyes shift away from the hot mess and gaze into the computer screen. A mirage of colors that look so enticing it’s almost dangerous- the only thing lighting up the room, brighter than blurred city lights. I taste the sourness of adrenalin wafting through the air. Wait a second- it’s sweat, so much for having my own dramatic monologue. 568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGDguidNEs
I can feel my eyes gleam and grow bigger as they study the game’s interface with undeniable astonishment. “RESUME”, “HELP”, “CHANGE SK8”. These three words, floating in the middle of the glass like undiscovered planets, appear to me as Gods. Each button has a heartbeat of its own, and I can feel mine synchronize with every one of them. I get a cold sweat when competing, yet I’m on fire like never before. I feel like I’m being absolved off my sins in Church and every crack of the whip, off the game, is painful. I feel like-
“FUJI NAKAMURA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU.”568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZzwMrkS8G
I feel like my life is about to come to an end over a bowl of miso soup. I should really head off now. 568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5gkenQH4D

She’s smiling, but it seems sinister. Is this a good or a bad sign? Either way, the only thing that gives me more goosebumps than losing virtually is this woman right here. Mom. 568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukF37vVAuK
“Mom, we need a new heater.”568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gld0TyDQm
“Sure, I’ll sell your gaming set for it.”568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv5q9hz2Px
“Mom, our heaters work beautifully, the suggestion of a new heater is absurd.”568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQmkpJuqaF
Yep, she’s the only game I can’t figure out.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm1vkmHw2d

And this is a game I’d never want to play, “The Sister Complex”, aka, Junko Nakamura. She was named after Junko Tabei, the first Japanese female climber to have climbed Mt. Everest. My parents, and their creepy obsession with the concept of overcoming situations, named her after the woman who’d overcome the highest mountain in the world. They have high standards, yet they had me. But as long as she hasn’t climbed Mt. Fuji, I’m good (wink wink). 568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xZmBKfmX1

It’s cold.
