What the fuck is Myst?

I bought Myst the psp game from Comic Connection on Sunday. It was on sale for $20. The original price was $60.



Well, I dun know much about Myst. I have not played it before on any platform. I have seen the name Myst and also heard of it. I read about the beautiful graphics. And I knew it was a game about puzzles.

I really thought I got a good bargain. And how bad can a psp game be?

The manual said of the game....
There are no instructions and the player begins a voyage of exploration without encountering a single living sole. Alone on a mysterious island, you set out to explore its grandeur and mystery.







And then I played it last night. Gosh...it was so slow and super boring. Nothing's happening. Nothing's moving. There is just one frame and arrows to move around. How primitive is that! There are puzzles and I sucked big time at puzzles. And these puzzles are so boring!

How can such a game be a hit when it came out on PC more than 10 years ago? I read that it was really really big hit, until SIMS came out.

No wonder there are hardly any reviews on Myst the psp game. It's that awful! And really really outdated!

It's the type of game that one either hated it or loved it.

After half an hour of playing, I declared this the worse Psp game I ever played! It's a waste of my money.

But....but.....I would give it a try again, when I am extremely bored and i have no more other psp games to play. And also after I had printed out the hints and walk through for the game.

The crying game

I was very tired last night and so I retired to bed early, around 11pm. However, I could not fall asleep. So I read some magazines but it still did not put me to sleep. I dun feel like watching TV so I took out my PSP.



I am presently playing PSP, Justice League. The game was quite fun. it was okay, but not as great as compared to God of War.

I have played for about a few hours till 3am when I went to the kitchen to get a drink. And that reminded me of Gin. She used to follow me into the kitchen if I got up at night. And this time, she was not there.

She just was not there! Then it dawned on me that she is no more. She is now only a pile of ashes and dust. And I would never see or hold her again.

The fact struck me like a tonne of bricks and tears started to fall. By the time, I got back to bed, I was crying and crying and I just could not stop.

Frankly, I thought I was over this. That I had no more tears. I had told me myself that I would not cry anymore. And the last few days, I didn't. But last night, I just cried and cried. Tears keep coming out of my eyes. Tears I thought I dun have.

SO was next in bed, sleeping. He slept like a pig and did not hear a thing. I must have cried for about half an hour or so. I could not sleep. So I continued playing my psp game. On and off, I could not quite focus on the game. My thoughts occasionally drifted to Gin and tears just fell.

With Gin gone, I felt no one love me anymore. I never felt so alone and unloved. I used to busk in the warmth of Gin's love and now I felt nothing.

I simply felt so pathetic and sorry for myself.

I have been with SO for so many years, over ten years. When you have been in a relationship for that long, you dun fall in love, you simply loved. Sometimes, I can't feel SO love for me. The way I felt Gin's love.

As I am typing this, I am crying again. Not big sobs like last night. Just a little crying.
