Journal Assignment 1 by Kwasi Cooper
Many nights we’ve stayed up late until dawn, fighting and shooting zombies, racing cars, and unlocking precious items, while stacking up points. I had a passion for video games and so did my online friend colossus.
Even though he resides in California and New York where I lived was about three thousand Miles apart, it felt like he was my roomate. Headgear with microphones kept our communication live as we shared a common interest of killing enemies of all kind and exploring the many worlds and quest that gaming provided for addicts like ourselves.
At times it felt real. I could find myself screaming through the headgear microphone that was already successfully projecting my voice, hoping to alert colossus of any imminent danger that may cause our demise.
Colossus and I shared a very unusual friendship. Our Xbox 1 camera gave us the only opportunity to occasionally get a glimpse of each other but yet still we maintain a special bond. We both agreed to travel to each other’s hometown to visit but we never did so.
Sometimes we discuss topics outside of gaming but always find ourselves at late night, back at killing zombies, and saving the world.
The last line is so memorable! Love it!
