Zuma

So I admittedly play this game far more than I should. I've been playing it for over a year now and still can't finish the last level but I keep coming back, night after night. "Just one more game." I tell myself. That usually turns in to at least three more games. (No wonder I have such a hard time dieting.)

Anyhow, my intent here isn't to talk about how addicted I am to this game but to talk about how different level layouts cause me to think of different people/events in my life. I think the stamping came from the first time I played through that level and what was going on in my life at the time. There's the level that makes me think of my friend Chris and his breakup with long time girlfriend Beth. The level that reminds me of my ex-step father and his hip replacement. The level that reminds me of rapping 'It Takes Two' with my friend Matt. The level that reminds me of my sister in law. I sink back into these memories each time that level shows up. I keep expecting the memories to be replaced by a more recent memory but it never happens.

It's actually been kind of nice sinking into these memories since we have been in New York. It reminds me of our friends and our old house. Digital nostalgia I guess.
