The 'Final Boss' in your life

[ARagY 1,152]

What will be that Final Boss for you to beat?

 

For me, it's Finnish

[caramba2654 602]

Wow. Finnish people like doing stuff repeatedly.

 

For me, it will be programming. When I finally get good at it, I'll consider myself able to do anything I could ever wish. :3

Finals week is kind of like a boss rush, I guess.

Myself. I kill everything for my self unintentionaly

[Celtore 2,770]

Assembly language. Regardless of what instruction set you're using, it's without a doubt the most difficult language to program in. Even with a crazy amount of commenting, I had significant difficulty reading what my code was doing. I hope to never see it again in my future career... but it's possible...

[Steel Accord 6,660]

In my entire life? I really don't know, because I'm almost sure that the way I'm living now is not how it's going to remain. Even after that, there will be changes. Life is not one constant and perpetual event for anyone.

 

If I were to choose my final bosses from a video game perspective however, they would be my personal Four Horseman . . .

 

 

Monsoon of Metal Gear is Pestilence: His is the infectious meme. Specifically the meme of nihilism. Godlessness, "nothing is sacred", the apparent falsity of human agency and morality. Monsoon would have his followers believe that declaring meaningless to the universe and civilization is some great, edifying truth. When really, it's the epitome of simplification for personal insecurity.

 

Associated with: Anti-theism, dirty fighting, dishonor, corruption or abandonment of ideals.

 

Other forms: Cody, Balrog (both Street Fighter), Dark and Poison type Pokemon, Andrew Ryan, Reaver (Fable)

 

 

William Taggart (Deus Ex: Human Revolution) is Famine. Taggart deprives people of their potential. Restricting augmentations to only those he and his ilk deem worthy because he condemns humanity unworthy of such gifts and such freedom. Keeping the scales balanced. Maintaining "equality." Equal in stagnation and mundanity.

 

Associated with: Luddism, hypocrisy, government control, the inherent falsity of politicians.

 

Other forms: The Templars (Assassin's Creed), Agent Edgar Ross, Abraham Reyes (Red Dead Redemption), The Patriots (Metal Gear) Ambassador/Councilor Donnel Udina (Mass Effect)

 

 

Master Chief is War: The tragic demon who is the weapon and most loyal enforcer of the very fascist militarized regime that took from him, his family, his life, and his free will. Master Chief is complacent in his existence of endless war, remaining unstuck in time only to emerge when conflict begets him, rather than question the ethics of his superiors.

 

Associated with: Survival over soul, the unexamined life, loss of individuality and self, moral sloth.

 

Other forms: Renegade Commander Shepard, Colonel Augustus Autumn, most chapters of the Brotherhood of Steel (Fallout), Private First Class Joseph Allen, General Shepherd (Call of Duty), Cpt. Martin Walker (Spec Ops: The Line)

 

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR DEAD SPACE AHEAD!

 

 

The Brethren Moons are (of course) Death: The ultimate expression of cynicism and nihilism. If nothing matters, no morality, no free will, no greater purpose to sapient existence, then ridding the universe of humanity (and equivalent life) is not a tragic or mourn worthy loss in the grand scheme. The ending of this game was the first time in my life I was tempted to throw the controller in frustration. All the pain, all the sacrifice, all the courage put forth by Isaac . . . and it amounted to nothing. The first game I witnessed actually making itself pointless!

 

Associated with: the audacity of depicting pitch blackness as anything laudable, "proof" of the nonexistence of a Higher Power, pointless struggle, human life not worth preserving

 

Other forms: the Reapers, the Dark Presence (Alan Wake), Alduin the World Eater (Skyrim), The Darkspawn and Archdemon (Dragon Age) The Flood (Halo), Lucien, The Crawler (Fable)

 

 

Then it would be a boss rush of me, equipped with my martial arts and whatever melee weapons I could use from each bosses' setting.

Probably this lovely gentleman here.

 

 

In all seriousness though I am not going to stop learning and growing until it is time for Mr grim reaper to come and take me. What my final challenges will be before I go I have no idea as that will hopefully be a very long time from now.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,345]

I love Finnish! It's my favorite language and I think it sounds really pretty, especially with all those vowels

 

Anyway... I don't think I have a final boss in my life .

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Dammit someone beat me to death...

although other than that I don't really see a final boss. I'll have to see where my life takes me in the next few years. Financial problems? An illness? Who knows.

[Invincible 2,091]

No final boss here. As long as i live, i'm liable to find new problems and opponents to tackle and overwhelm. You could say "death", i guess.

 

Death is the end. That's all there's to it.

[deadprofile 1,122]

Wisdom and Understanding would be my final, continual boss fight in life.

 

I am not good at things because of my lack of understanding, and I have caused problems for myself and others due to a lack of wisdom. However, I have also, through overcoming these experiences by either growing in understanding and/or wisdom through life experiences, have been able to contribute most to society and help those closest to me by what I know now in skill and wisdom.

If I come across things I do not know or understand, I want the ambition to learn, the motivation to keep going, and the ability to be able to discern past experiences in a knowledgeable way so as to add to the wisdom I hope to have as I age, without having to learn the same thing over and over again (In other words, to not make the same mistakes again, and have the foresight to not make similar mistakes in the future).

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

Mine really has to be all of my internal problems. I have no confidence, poor social skills, no ambition or motivation, and no faith in my own skills. I hate the world around me, it constantly feels as if I'm being put down. I only want to live a good life with a good job, my own home, and the ability to support myself, but that seems to be too much to ask these days.

 

I used to have things that I would have loved to do in life, but don't anymore. I don't ask for much, but I get even less. Every time I see someone working towards something I would have loved to have done in the past, I get jealous and angry. I feel as if I've become a crotchety, cynical old man at 19.

 

I hope to overcome this and one day be able to live my own life.

[Zekromic 1,054]

Venezuela, it wanna keep me prisoner there, but I refuse, and I'll do ANYTHING, to get out of here, it is my greatest enemy

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

The only true final boss in my life is myself. As long as I actually do things, then I'm fine in life, but more than once I end up stopping myself for stupid, nonsensical reasons.

[Demonic Soulz 483]

My final boss is when I finally start and finish my own game

[ponytheorist 181]

There is no end boss to what I want to become. I want to be a intellectual human being, and there is no end to the things you can learn.

 

A wise man isn't the person who knows a lot, it's the person who realizes that there is still much to know

[Envy 6,169]

I'd say the final boss is myself. Overcoming fear/denial, a weak will, etc. However, I really already lost this battle in where it was most important.

[Wyzecat 350]

Social anxiety and OCD, I guess.

[A Black Circle 1,586]

The limits put on this world by ourselves, self-confidence, inner strength/meaning, the usual.

[Magic Note 2,748]

My final boss is my own cowardice. As odd as it seems, I let it get the worst of me at the worst times possible.

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

Ma dad. He is like, the strongest boss I ever seen in my life. When I get F on test or assignments, it KO's me. Even though my health is 5763 he damages me 15920344. 

[boiteporte 591]

My final boss is my boss at the company where I work. Replacing him is my ultimate goal in life.

[Throwaway19573639385 764]

My final boss is finishing university and finding a job. After that I can start my boring life with the people I love and want to be with. I'm looking forward to the day that I will go to work early, work for 8-10 hours, go back home tired, kiss my fiance hello, cook some food, spend a little free time and sleep to repeat the day I just had. When I finally have a life like that, I can gladly say that I will have the boring peace and simple life I've always wanted.

[A goat 323]

My final boss would be a panda. Because they caused a lot of harm in the past 14 billion years, it's about time they got what was coming to them.
