Greetings to all who inadvertently, and maybe intentionally, looked at the light and found themselves in the whirlpool of flashbacks of a young gamer girl. No, well, the girl herself is no longer very young, but the age of her gaming experience is very – 1.5 years old. Yes, only a year and a half ago I decided to seriously plunge into the world of various stories sometimes soap, and sometimes just pixel, but always surprisingly living characters. True, there is another important date. January 1 will be exactly one year old to my registered stay on Stopgame website.ru! Probably, it was precisely this approaching and very significant event for me that it spurred to tell about who I am, as it was generally drawn into the world of games and gameblasts, and also finally say that it would be a good time to say a good time. Soaaaa that if for these several proposals of one paragraph I managed to motivate you to further read, then welcome to the "History of one take -off"!

Ton
Once upon a time there was a girl named Julia. Um … well, in the sense of living, there is, there is … yes, he lives, there is a girl Julia. Its biography can be painted for a long time and tedious. Only the meaning of this is not enough for one only reason – most of it will not be in contact with computer technologies at all. The poor, old, barely living box appeared in Julia only in the eighth class, and only Freddy fish, Dalmatians and Harry Potter went from the games from the games. Then he was suffered by the terrible fate of the blue screen, I had to look for something more tenacious, because life without a word, player and translator Julia and his mother were no longer represented. Of course, the salary of a simple Belarusian teacher did not allow the possibilities to take a walk, but to purchase a car that pulled The Sims, they eventually managed. Since in those years this family could only fantasize about the Internet, and among the Yulin classmates there were few people who worried about the games, she did not think at all that she wanted to devote her time to such a kind of activity. The girl did not know either Doom or Quake. I’m generally silent about console games. Only in distant childhood did she have the happiness of playing Mario, tanks and other good on Dendy, but now other types of prefixes just drove past her childhood and youth. So Julia was an ordinary child -sensitive child, with a bunch of complexes and a lack of friends.

This whole situation has changed in the first year of the Linguistic University. Due to the training needs, the Internet was still connected, and its circle of communication has expanded. The girl had two heimers friend. They often told her the stories of various game universes, described interesting characters, shared their impressions. This prompted Julia to get a laptop. Your own car, which does not need to be divided with anyone and on which you can not only gain texts and listen to music. It’s gorgeous! Well, since then I have had something suitable for starting computer games. Only a gamer did not do me ..

The first steps
My first plays on the brand new ASUS were held in diable, Portal 2 and Resident Evil. T.e. These were those coopeous things in which I could unite with the guys into a harsh murderous team and wet someone right and left, simultaneously discussing the tactics on Skype. You quickly get used to this kind of entertainment, you get used to being distracted by your loneliness and plunging into the problems of napalms, robots or ordinary members of anti -zone organizations. Well, plus this is also very close to your partner.

Therefore, I was extremely happy, although I was not some kind of notorious gamer. For example, grief in half was Bioshock Infinite simply because I did not have a dumplings of shooting, etc.D. In Alice, it was also very problematic to survive. One of the same two hemers once very picturesquely painted me with Wolfenstein: The New Order, and I realized that I was just obliged to try. It was precisely during the passage of Wulf that it came to me that it happens much more painful than in Alice. So, being a noob, I again reached the end with grief in half. So, you can easily understand that each of the five games you have passed was a real test for me, and getting the ending – an achievement. There was clearly nothing to be proud of. I considered myself an ordinary amateur.

The dark side of the https://voodoocasino.co.uk/bonus/ pain
You know, at the time of the entire above period, this situation with games was quite happy with me. I did not seek to become a Jedi of the playing side of life, entertainment and hardcore were enough and so. To know something new, a desire appeared only if the project has a bright picture and an interesting plot. There was only something corresponding and clinging to his description. So I enjoyed daily coins and felt quite good.

Until one very sad episode has happened, associated with loss. At such moments, specifically you cease to exist inside the system, as if someone was turning you out of a socket. But your body continues to go to the university, eat food, view social networks just on autopilot. And you are real only in a dream. And it is precisely the dreams associated with the past that continues to hurt. This pain absorbs the remnants of you alive, you just get drunk, choke in your now poisoned memories. It’s like swimming in sulfuric acid. And here the games just saved me. Once I just had the idea to switch from my problems to strangers. Then the association immediately passed in my head with anyone else than with Max Pane. And you know, this trilogy absorbed me on the very crown. I represented Max to a friend who needs my help to get out of the swamp of my revenge. Since then, I could not calmly sit down couples, I was eager to return to the new depressive friend! And when all three parts were passed, I went to help Alan Wake. Well, there everything has already gone on increasing. I was afraid to get distracted from the games and therefore, with greed, I was looking for more and more projects. Action, RPG, quest, interactive kinto – yes it does not matter! There would be a plot, and even to the gameplay, I adapted. It was already a kind of drug. But it is funny here is just that I was not pulling me to shred a dull crowd of people in life, but the desire to live further somehow moved from the mark of zero in a rather positive direction.

Fateful discovery
Gradually joining the game universe, I realized that she has her own news, important dates, significant events. And in order to understand all this, to be able to maintain a conversation, I needed a certain source of information. Earlier, I have already encountered the history of the Resident Evil, MGS and Silent Hill series from Stopgame, therefore it was to this resource that I decided to contact the game information. After some time, I got used to the expanses of the VK group, I was aware of the latest events, the background to which either googled or asked my friend. But the months passed, New Year’s festivities came. However, my marks of the New Year always boiled only to the festive table and TV. Now I spent a festive night for a very non -holiday Valiant Hearts: The Great War. And having decided to give my fingers a break, for the first time I looked at the site with curiosity that you now see in front. I just inadvertently wanted. And then I also unexpectedly wanted to register. And even drive into the search for fellow villagers, at the same time adding one of them to friends. As a result, these random actions led to one undeservedly great happiness!

Unexpected consequences
1) So, my registration on the Stopgame website actually influenced a lot. And, it turns out, it influenced very actively throughout the whole year. At first, Stopgame gave me a wonderful friend. This person still supports me, takes care and gives me the fact that I am not so ugly, which I think. He does not criticize me, but only carefully gives advice. With him, I remembered that, it turns out, you can enjoy free time not only at home: we go to films, cafes, visit city holidays. With him, I learned to smile again, enjoy life. In it I see a person who sincerely rejoices and worries about me. And most importantly, understands my hobby for games, supports and actively participates in it. This is a wonderful person. But the point is not that I do not have loving friends, it is problematic that they live outside Belarus. And now I finally met the one who in reality will even go with me to dental and will be able to distract from screams from their offices.

2) Another significant consequence was the spelling of blogs. Here you need to explain this moment: I love to write! To put your own thoughts in text form, describe emotions with the help of interesting and unusual speech turns, various stylistic means. Sometimes it is difficult. Trying to achieve a qualitative design of thoughts about something hooking me, I sometimes understand that the skill is not yet pumped to the desired level and it is better not to take it at all. Then sometimes it comes to the tantrum. But I still understand that working with text is the case in which I seem to straighten my wings and flutter. So, without even having a resource for free written activity, I still tried to describe my opinion about various films in small posts on the page in VK. Then these very posts were increasingly dedicated to games, eventually becoming a constant outcome of all my passages. That’s just the point was that I went through the games old and today irrelevant. But once I was lucky to overpower the first episode of one notorious game right on the day of its release (thanks to pre -order). As a result, ripples, brakes and the appearance of a significant character were so brought on the Konik that I wanted to put it much louder than usual. I wrote the first blog. And he was accepted with a bang! I have never praised me so many people in my life! The people supported my thoughts, and what is the main thing, noted their text design! My happiness knew no bounds. For the first time I realized that I was really worth something!

Next was the Blog on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I was honestly afraid to say something in the universe from which only one game passed, but at the same time I missed the two previous ones, and I didn’t read the books not a single one. In horror, I expected that for this sin they would attack me with a pitchfork, and deservedly. But again, visitors to Stopheim pleased with their adequacy. No one shouted, did not blame. Everyone politely advised to get acquainted with games and books, while approving my blog. Oh, how happy I was! My elevator finally reached the twentieth floor of delight! I was in a place where I was not oppressed as before, I was not condemned for the fact that I am a ugly, I did not poke my nose into stupidity and weakness. On the contrary, I found those who showed me the bright side of my essence, a kind of talented and confident Julia.

Another false honey, of course, was a reaction to a blog about the concert of Akira Yamaoka in Minsk, and even more so – a recognition of his blog of the week. How could I generally dream about this? Never! But that influx of Akira fans, who shared their own impressions, made it clear that I am not able to see all the magic of his work. Those people who gave me faith in their abilities also showed that they not only approve, but also understand my feelings. Believe me, this is very important for a person who has shared his position for so many years only with paper or internal self.

3) there is another consequence, very important! Many probably know that over the past year I also managed to conduct a study for term paper. The topic was the influence of computer games on interpersonal relations. So, again, thanks to all of you who took part in testing, I came to defense with high my head, proudly saying that all the sensational stereotypes were crap! Adequacy, politeness, openness – this is what I encountered, conducting tests. It was difficult for me to imagine that it would be necessary to test a considerable number of people, to call each separately and show friendliness. But in the end, there was never once that I was not reciprocated. Each test took place in a fun friendly atmosphere. Not a single participant insulted, did not send and did not encroach with a knife to my organs. Why all you are very much thank you! It was your results that inspired me to further struggle with the opinion adopted as part of a diploma. I hope I succeed!

Results
Well, as a result, I can state that this year for me personally was saturated and very important. Thanks to Stopgim, I met a wonderful person who to this day makes me happy. Thanks to him, among other things, I have a new power machine that allows you to twist game settings to the maximum and really enjoy. Well, besides, this person introduced me to such a miracle as PlayStation 4 and its exclusives. This is just an awesome experience that gave a lot of new emotions! Although I have not managed to get used to the gamepad. But in any case, buddy, thank you for you!

Again, thanks to Stopgim this year, I again gained faith in myself and my strength. My assessment bar rose from the lower mark only thanks to all those who read my blogs, wrote comments, supported, approved or gave advice on how to make better. You returned me the belief that I can like my texts and judgments. Therefore, thank you very much and sincere!

Another significant event of this year is the first visit to Gamemir! In fact, the preparatory stages were painful and costly. Not everything was ready for everything, I was afraid of a lot. But the result was worth! Unfortunately, unforeseen I had to look for a company to which I could be nailed for all the days. As a result, on the contrary, I was satisfied that such a need arose. Our company VIPs, part of which I was all those days, turned out to be wonderful, adequate and sincere. With them I felt free and safe. So thank you very much for this wonderful time. Well, Grammir himself … oh … it’s hard to describe in a nutshell. Many people, enough games that do not personally interest me. But at the same time no less cool! Play, communicate, take pictures, you can buy plenty, this is probably bribed. Well, the main lure was a gathering for me personally! Consider that for the most part I went from Belarus to visit a gathering and take a picture with the authors of Stopheim. Initially, I even thought that it would have to independently catch them throughout Crocus Expo, but everything turned out to be much easier and more thoughtful. It was insanely nice to see so many like -minded people at the meeting. And even more pleasant – to see smiling authors, talk with them, take pictures, hug. Guys, your warm reaction and the friendly atmosphere of the whole gathering made that on Saturday October 3, just magical for one person at least! You are the best! And from all the junk that I was dragged from the station to my hump, shaking most of all over your poster!:)

***
Well, here it is, this whole story of my take -off. If not for Stopgame, I would still remain at the bottom of pain, complexes and self -flagellation. Yes, the games, of course, saved me in that difficult period, became a rescue circle, which did not allow me to drown. But until the finally safe location I was delivered by living people with their warm attitude. I am very glad that it became part of this large family, I am glad that you accepted me and understand, I am glad that I no longer feel lonely. Thanks again I want to tell all the authors for your talent, patience and warmth! Thanks to all users for your adequacy, activity, creativity and kindness! And thanks to the accidental case that brought me to the Stopgame website.ru! On January 1, my stay will be equal to the year, and you know that? It was the best year in my life!
