"We're living on the edge!"

You wouldn't want him near your Guitar
Hero mic!

Aerosmith's undeniably epic 1992 anthem to which everybody, regardless of race; age; social background- and all that stuff- should try and live their life to. Yes, this one song. It's completely rubbish, with the non-sensical lyrics that are screeched out of Steven Tyler's ridiculously humongous, cosmos-consuming mouth. But if you look past all this, there is something real to what is being said. It's the desire to live life to its absolute maximum.

Well here at The Cyber Face we follow this doctrine, in our own, special way. Through the social medium of gaming! Everything from MMOs to RPGs, FPSs to RTSs (there will be a lot of these sorts of acronyms and gaming slag in this blog, so try your best to stay zoned in. If however it gets too much, why not take a break on Facebook, or watch some of the YouTube videos at the top of this blog page ^^^), we're passionate for it all.

So the edge that Tyler so avidly squeals about has two meanings for us:

1) A very literal 'edge.' Sitting on the edge of a sofa, bed or (if lacking the necessary monetary funds for traditional furniture) a plank of wood.




The action-packed Call of Duty: Black Ops
shows what the 'edge' really is.



2) The exhilaration of the Virtual World. Possibly lying prone in a pixelated and smokey landscape, rifle gripped in your digitally manifested fingers, waiting for that lonely straggler to unwittingly meander his way into your crosshairs. Or it could be the satisfaction of reaching that elusive level 80 after literally days of gameplay and countless packets of Walkers cheese and onion crisps (or for you Americans out there- chips).

For those here at The Cyber Face- this is what the edge truly means. None of this skydiving malark, or reckless speeding. It's pushing ourselves to the limit, in a safe and comfortable environment. God bless arm chairs!
