My dyslexia work keeps me pretty busy what with providing
dyslexia support to students, awareness training and all the preparation that
requires. Then there are all the mundane tasks that any business has to do from
updating databases, looking for new business and supporting volunteers.
Dyslexia Pathways certainly keeps me on my toes. If I let it dyslexia could
take up all my waking hours and then some of my sleeping ones too.
Whenever I get the opportunity I enjoy playing computer
games. It’s been something of a passion of mine for many years. I still vividly
remember spending many happy hours playing speccy games like The Hobbit and
Knight Lore way back in the early 1980s. I used to play The Hobbit with a few
of the guys in one of my first bands. We got stuck on one bit of the game for
ages and in the end we wrote a song about it called Gandalf Carries the Dead
Butler and yes it probably sounded as bad as the title suggests. But to us it
was brilliant pmsl.
I have just completed one of my favourite games of all time
again Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for the umpteenth time. It was first
released on the Nintendo N64 in 1998 and was cutting edge at that time. I am
not sure if its a dyslexia thing but I just love the overall ethereal feel of
the game. The characterisations are brilliant as are the graphics and sound.
Whenever I play it feels like meeting and old friend you haven’t seen for a
while.
I always used to call it the Ocriana of Time a typical
dyslexic mistake. Even now that’s what I the game. I will be playing the next game
in the series The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask now ...... yet again.
