BACK TO THE (EN)TROPICS

Over the years tarin has had many passing interests in many things, especially where gaming is concerned, there was pong and space invaders on the old Atari VCS (later renamed Atari 2600) of 1977, (tarin was actually about 1 when that was bought so probably belonged to a certain parental unit, less said about that the better), there was the game and watch things and then “Chucky Egg” on the old School computers, some Acorn BBC thing and right up to the Play Station. Now, tarin has reached for the laptop to play once more.

Second Life, Sansar amongst other virtual worlds, tarin has tried a few over the years, and as for MMORPG’s (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) oh yeah, tarin has been there, Rift, The Secret World and World of Warcraft and of course Entropia Universe. Tarin found it difficult to keep up with The Secret World for some reason, not sure why, as for Rift, it just didn’t rock tarin’s world., World of Warcraft definitely a world of awesomeness at one time but tarin sort of lost interest, by far tarin’s favorite game has to be Entropia Universe and not because you can “earn real money”, there’s a rumor you can make a hundred quid or more each day, however tarin thinks that is a bit far fetched, so yeah not gonna become a millionaire off of that game, not to mention there are even pro gamers out there that themselves will tell you, gaming isn’t the awesome meal ticket people thinks it is.

Entropia has a little more realism, really nice graphically speaking, controls are a little easier, no monthly subscription necessary, doesn’t nom too much on your drive space at the start and, tarin thinks, you don’t even have to travel to different worlds to have good times. although a little exploring can be fun.

It’s nice to get back to shooting things and blowing things up, hunting hoppy dinosaurs and the like, and questing in a very chilled way, the game can be difficult but in all honesty there really does’’t feel to be any pressure to be some huge expert at the game, which, as tarin is a useless gamer, is a good thing. And yes you read right, tarin is crap at these things but he’s in it for the fun, not to be some expert. And that’s the other thing tarin loves about Entropia, he’s a crappy gamer and no one really cares, you do you, you play as you please and if you’re good, you’re good, if you’re not, your’e not, to hell with it, go shoot a few hoppy dinos anyway, it’s fun.

After coming back and playing a few days in the massive Entropia Universe, tarin realizes this is where he should have stayed in the first place, apps on phones be damned….unless they are Entropia Apps, unfortunately though, the only Entropia App is the Entropia Pocket, a security key generator thing to try and help beat the hacking bandits. Which, by the way, if you didn’t already know, it really is a good idea to get 2 factor authentication for these games to keep your loot safe, especially if you invested real cash in these things.

Thank you for reading and take care of you.
