And I just have to say that I laughed out loud reading this post because I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM with video games! In person- I am very coordinated. But I have never gotten the hang of using one lever to look around and another to move. I totally get how hard it can be just to get through a doorway. Whenever I get talked into playing a multiplayer game with my brother or boyfriends, they all take pity on me and end up apologizing when they accidentally (or, "accidentally") kill me. Just had to throw out a vote of sympathy here :)Haleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-55252514952509534432013-04-27T06:20:26.387-04:002013-04-27T06:20:26.387-04:00Australians hardly ever say 'crickey' or &...Australians hardly ever say 'crickey' or 'you beauty' any moreAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14157582287153186165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-1201861130831428142010-12-04T17:48:18.145-05:002010-12-04T17:48:18.145-05:00Don't feel too bad.

We could always tell which game was in the console by what sort of trash talking we could hear wafting down the stairwell. "Damn you, penguin!" meant MarioKart. "Run like a bitch!" or "Don't shoot me, I don't have a gun!" meant Goldeneye. :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099611204738228668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-41221166207763120412010-05-23T17:12:34.303-04:002010-05-23T17:12:34.303-04:00I've been reading CW faithfully and am enjoyin...I've been reading CW faithfully and am enjoying EPBOT enormously. <br /><br />Loved Jen A's comment about video game technique. It reminded me of my daughter playing as a very little girl (I'm from the pre-video game generation, unless you count Pong and Space Invaders), When she wanted Mario to jump, she jumped herself. Before long, her "turn" would be over and it was time to hand over the controller to her brother.Juleshttp://jbvenn@julievennewitz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-63836855748751369102010-05-23T02:25:50.953-04:002010-05-23T02:25:50.953-04:00sounds like my husband and I.

They're really fun, especially the Star Wars one. My husband and I could play together (actually play together) and unless you have to use the blaster there's not too much coordination required. I liked using the light sabers because you could do fancy tricks with them, and kill all the bad guys with 1 move!

It's fun because HE can use his bad-ass video game skillz to killz all the baddies, and YOU get to be totally and completely in charge of all conversation between other characters!<br /><br />We like Knights of the Old Republic 2 (2 is way better because you start out a Jedi!) which is STAR WARS and has heaps of character development with conversation. You can be a Jedi or a Sith and the game is different depending on which way you go.

I am in the second half of my 40's (sounds so much better than late 40's!!), AND I'm a girl. I don't get any funny looks or comments, mostly because I'm usually with my teenage son when I shop for games. Surprisingly, I don't get any reaction when i'm alone either. Probably because I'm lucky enough to not look quite my age. ;) Gamers never grow old, we just start losing hit points. lolUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744641381050028789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-63160570006509423602010-05-17T17:33:51.299-04:002010-05-17T17:33:51.299-04:00Funny post re the video games.

Anyway, I got fed up with a Harry Potter game I was playing because I just couldn't get past a Harry chasing Draco level. I gave it to my partner who completed the whole game in about 5 minutes and showed me the age range of players on the box - 5-12!

(This should be it.)<br />Reading other posts and allusions to youthful pastimes<br />Made me realize hubby and I are a bit old to be in the gamer category. Not that we care. We do get the occasional, "well, who's the game for??" from the saleskids at the game store when they assume we are shopping for a gift. And the only people older than us in there are parents with their teens. Sigh. <br />Sooooo, does anybody else who is playing BioShock besides me remember the first step on the moon? <br />I guess being in the first wave of gamers (remember pong!?) sticks with you.
