I have a new obsession with a game called 'Bounce' on my phone.
After the sordid incident where I dropped my 6310 in the toilet bowl, this beggar obviously was not allowed to be a chooser.
I was given a 6610i with the 'whusht' (my new favourite word) camera quality.
But along with it came 'Bounce'. My latest and greatest obsession.
I've successfully reached Level 8 now and the smile cannot be rubbed off my face.
I play it on the bus,in class,during lunch,in the toilet,after dinner,before I sleep....
Can someone tell me how many levels I have left to finish the game?
I really feel my fingers are going to get fractured soon.

I was addicted once.To something my mother might call 'obscene'.
Its 'Doom'. And the application process has somehow drawn me back to the age old game.
I used to press 'New Game' and immediately type out IDDQD, IDKFA and IDSPISPOPD.
But I decided now that I'm too old to be using cheat codes.So there you have it.
Hours and hours of playing to master my movement.
And then I chanced upon Heretic and my hands moved towards the alphabets to press 'QUICKEN' but I stopped myself.
So now I play Doom on the computer upstairs and then I walk down and play Heretic.
Almost for four hours everyday.
It somehow makes me feel better.When I'm angry,nervous or upset, I play Doom.

My father found me playing Doom yesterday and chided me for starting 'the habit again'.
I'm 20 years old! And I've been playing this since my sixth standard! I should be allowed to decide if I want to play computer games again.I dont think I'm going to buy a gun and shoot down the teachers and students who cancelled my Management paper today.The first paper that I studied for.
Or will I..

Hmmm..thats a thought.

hey, looks like I am the first one to comment...

I never had the patience to play bounce, always used the cheat code (it was 99 something)...

I couldn't understand why your gang was fighting with the lecturers for keeping the exam...

I for one, had not studied anything, didn't have any xerox and neither the mood...

Thank God the exam was cancelled

Ganesh-There was no valid reason to cancel the exam..anyway how did it go?


PPP-doom 2 was for sure. I bought it in London when I was in the seventh.
