So here I am, in my local school library, supposed to be studying for my fast-approaching exams and instead I find myself typing on a keyboard about a video game on a public forum.

 

Probably not the best use of my time. ^ ^;

 

Anyways, I've been thinking for a while about how video games are good. Yes, there is a whole lot of criticism that is hurtled toward video-gaming, for some I wish to not go into. But I thought of one of these goods - this forum. A place where people from around the world can gather and talk about a broad topic, suggesting and debating and arguing and commenting. Where people can talk to each other from across the world. How I, an Australian, can talk to and play with people on the other side of the world (yes, that is you, Americans. :D) and feel like I'm in a community.

 

I like this. No, I love this. This is amazing.

 

But one thing that I do hate is that we are almost always split apart - US plays with US, EU plays with EU etc. It's not often for entire communities to go to another region to play games together. This is obviously because of many reasons with lag, time-zones likely being the big ones. 

 

Initially I thought to make a "unite the Hawken community under one flag" event, aka do an international Hawken event but after thinking of the results of my attempt to have a good timezone range for EU, US and AU in my previous event known as the "Hawken Training Centre" (I think Dr Freeze kept the name actually), I found it problematic.

 

So I think that this would happen between two different times if possible with several regions playing under a server they don't normally play with a hopefully interacting on the TS with these people.

 

I would like to mention though that I have no intention of hosting this event if it does become a thing. I only wanted to suggest the idea to make people think/ponder about it because of my aforementioned exams (heeeeeeeelp meeeeeee). 

 

Aaaaand, it seems that I'm about to be kicked out of this library now. xD Sorry about the rushed post but I still wanted to state the idea.

 

All criticism is welcome. :D

 

 

 

 

 

(I'd likely edit this post when I get more time to.)

 

PS: Library people are nice.

 

PPS: It's lonely in here. ;(

Public Libraries in the US are mostly relegated to a place where the homeless can go to poop, wash their armpits, and surf porn
