Audition was the first online game that I played when I accidentally stumbled into the net shop, but who knew it brought back countless memorable memories.
I was fortunate enough to have access to video games at an early age. Ever since I was in 1st grade, every time I did well in school, my dad would reward me with a short but fun-filled time playing video games. Before I knew about Audition, most of the games I experienced were offline games available on some older generation systems.
I myself did not know the concept of online games and offline games at that time. All my memories of video games at that time were just the time spent with friends in the neighborhood, the times when I played games to beat my father and laugh all night. My memories with the old game console lasted until I started 6th grade, the first year of middle school. And that was also when I had to move, say goodbye to the brothers in the neighborhood who were with me. playing games for many years.
For a 10-year-old child, it is not easy to get used to the environment and make new friends. I couldn’t even play video games in my new place because my grandparents always thought that I would be spoiled and become lazy to study. That was the thinking of the older generation of adults, so I had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, in class, I got to know a friend, and gradually we became closer as we talked. The special thing is that my friend always invites me to go out to the net shop.
Although I refused many times, in the end, I could not overcome my curiosity. That was also the first time I set foot in the net shop, opening the first online game in my life, Audition.
At first, I looked at my friend playing and found it quite interesting. All I do is press the arrow keys according to the game, and then press the space for the character to perform the jumps. In my head I thought: “The game is so easy, just press the button”. It wasn’t until I experienced it myself that I found that Audition was not easy at all. When I was young, I didn’t like listening to music very much, so I found it unnecessary to wear headphones to play Au. Unexpectedly, that made me unable to catch the rhythm of the game.
According to my friend’s instructions, I put on headphones, gradually catching the rhythm of the game. That’s also when I started to fall in love with the tunes. Indeed, the saying “Music changes people’s lives” is not wrong at all. Having access to a lot of new music, having access to an easy but difficult gameplay, it’s completely different from the games I’ve experienced before, I gradually became more addicted to Audition.
It is no exaggeration to say that Audition has completely changed my view of video games, as well as changed my life. On the plus side, I was exposed to a lot of new things. Through the internet, I can chat with many people in the game without having to meet face to face. I experienced the excitement of music. In addition, it is the way of playing Audition that I can train my eyes and fingers through the keys. Gradually, my fingers became more agile, my eyes and reflexes also improved.
Besides, a new thing I know is the concept of online games. Unlike the games I’ve played before, online games have no limits. That means I will no longer have to play all the games and get rid of the tapes. It can be said that, from the day I knew about Audition, it has become an indispensable part of my life.
However, due to being too curious and excited about the game. I am becoming more and more changed. In school, I began to have moments of laziness, there were days when I and my friend had to take advantage of all the ways to do a few games of Au to plow the task. At home, I began to lie to my parents and grandparents to escape from the net shop. Or even I have acted worse.
However, now that I’m an adult, I don’t regret those impulsive moments. On the contrary, I feel glad that I had memorable times with Audition. Of course there were things I was really wrong with my parents, but that was youth with impatience. I think in everyone’s life there will be such mistakes, if not the mistake of video games, it will be about another matter.
Currently, Audition has spent 16 years accompanying Vietnamese gamers. Personally, I have known the game since 2011, which is more than 10 years. Audition has brought a lot of emotions as well as many stories to myself in particular and the gaming community in general. I have witnessed many couples get married from Audition and live a happy life, I have also witnessed countless funny stories from this game.
For me personally, Audition is not just an online game, the game is a whole sky of childhood memories of countless Vietnamese gamers. I don’t think any gamer ever forgets what he’s experienced with Audition. It is rare for any game in Vietnam to accompany gamers for so long. Audition has grown up with gamers, has witnessed the growth of the player community.
Later when I have children, I will definitely tell them what I have experienced with Audition.
