I'm in love with this new video game and I've not actually picked up a joypad and played it. Braid for the X-Box 360 is a sidescrolling platform game which revolves around playing with time to advance onward.
The game is beautifully picturesque backed with a harmony of mellow music. There is also a homage here and there to Super Mario Brothers thrown in but best of all a very Fauve style approach to the art and backgrounds.
I'm not one for watching others play a game. I'd rather push some buttons and join in but the artistic attraction of Braid and exploring how the puzzled levels are layed out make me want to watch it for hours, which I think I did last night at a pals house.
For the last few days I’ve been haunted by a premonition of being hit by a speeding bus from the side.
All day I have tried to erase this tormenting thought from my mind, attempting to filter out this negative and frightening vision.
In positivity I am being careful more although it is easy to feel paranoid. Crossing the roads has been strange and I’ve not wanted to take any chances.
I will continue to pray at this and mentally chip away the horrendous clip.
Maybe I deserved this or maybe it’s a warning, or maybe just a random thing my brain is doing. I know the road I have seen the bus in too but I never even go there anymore, but the sight of that bus head on towards me is scary.
