Turn the volume up all the way
Plug your headsets into your ears
Play it so, so very loud
So rock is all you can hear.
"Sick Of It," "Devil's Choir,"
"Dead!" and "Painkiller,"
Play every deafening tune
Louder, louder, LOUDER!
As the strings on guitars clang
And the drums join the noise
Raise your volume, scream in tune
With the singer's voice
Sing the words with every emotion
You could possibly instill
Because when the cymbals bang
Just how can you keep still?
Sing with so much conviction
So no one doubts the sounds
No one truly hears the lyrics
That in each phrase can be found
Sing louder than you have
Ever sung before
Then they'll think that it's a song
Just that and nothing more
Sing, sing, like nothing's wrong
Because this is your one chance
To escape this insane world
And its deadly dance.

In pods, pale and emaciated-
muscles atrophied,
they sit behind thick goggles
deflecting stroboscopic lights;
huge headsets droning weird sounds.
Each human in a private pod
lost in grounded bliss:
every want and need, fulfilled
thru technological wonders;
instant information, entertainment.
Touch of a button simulation
to other places, via virtual reality.
No need to travel.
Invited humans to visit in 3-D;
necessities, via robotic drones.
In pods, ashen and gaunt,
they sit: empty, smiles,
traveling to unknown places;
eyes blinded from reality,
heading for grim, robotic essence.
A bleak view, future existence;
gray humans in gray sunless pods.
The world unto themselves;
life via at-whim commands.
More to say on the progression-
but I have too much to declare.

Games, headsets, consoles- The Game Store.
A wild Charlie appears to be seeking a reward
from doing the dishes from his mother.
As he reaches for his mothers wallet, he opens
It, and a large, but light puff of dust comes out.
Charlie falls to his knees......and cries.

We don't watch telly,
we play games,
we have avatars
and gamer names.
We don't just glare,
we interact....
Helps co-ordination,
a proven fact.
We chat to gamers
on headsets too,
work as a team...
Plan what to do.
If you're good,
you're known as Pro,
in your gamer points
it will show.
Noob's the term
if you are new.
You wont be alone,
there's quite a few.
Play for a while
and you will see,
that playing games
outdoes T.V.

A Play Station 3 is the best video game console Sony has ever made. It's got Play Station
Network, it's got digital games, the works. This system also includes some PS3 games, some
PS3 wireless controllers, wands, Bluetooth headsets, the works. I even bet that we all
play a lot of video games on the Play Station 3 almost every day, especially when one of
us is playing either "Super Street Fighter IV," "Grand Theft Auto IV," or "Dance Dance
Revolution." The best part about the PS3 is when he and/or she is listening to music,
watching a movie, or surfing on the Web. He and/or she can meet some new friends on Play
Station Network, too. But the best part about the Play Station 3 is when it comes with
some PS3 wands, which they are similar to the wireless controllers for the Nintendo Wii.
Which is why I'm also surprised to see that this active video game called "Sports
Champions" did come with this video gaming system. Maybe the best things in life are very
free. The "3" is silent. Well played, Play Station. Very well played. And if there's going
to be more PS3 games for the Play Station 3, then it's going to be like a video game
festival, but at home.
