Do you play any video games?

Years ago we had PONG, and there's been a few others, I can't stand, but I watched him play the character ones. We have a King Kong one he played. He likes all that electrical gizmo stuff. I'm not really into that. I use to have fun with Mario Bros. run and spin! But no, I don't do those.

 

Do you and if you do which ones?

Re: Do you play any video games?

Nope, I am proud to say that when it comes to computer and video games, I am a dinosaur.   It's not for lack of trying, my girls and hubby have tried to get me interested in them over the years.  I just never see the fun,  I think my mind just doesn't work fast enough for such things.  I'm rooted in the real world so I can't get into them.  When I am bored or when I need something to distract me, reading works for me.  But these days Pinterest is my first choice for entertainment and mindless fun.  I can waste hours on Pinterest.

The only game I play is "Entertain/Inform me or the channel gets changed."

None for me, I always seem to have more important things to do.

Just recently I learned (on one of the two doctors TV shows), that teens and others are virtually r*ping and assaulting virtual women in some of those video games.  I was shocked.  There really should be some sort of law or guidelines re: 'brainwashing' teens/tweens/etc. re: virtual criminal behavior towards others, especially toward women.  I really do find it appalling.

p.s.  Parents should really investigate what their young sons are doing in their video games.  Maybe check their 'history', etc.  Or just quietly 'barge in' and see what they're up to.

Re: Do you play any video games?

YES! My favorites are the Professor layton ones for Nintendo DS platform. I tend to like games that are story based with puzzles to figure out.  I have a few other Nintendo DS games I haven't started yet Zero Time Dilemna and the other two in the series, as well as Ghost Trick and Flower, Sun and Rain.Oh yeah and the Brain Age games, those are fun. And One other one I really love but can't remember the name of it right now (apparently I need to play the Brain Age games more often, lol!). It again was a story, like a mystery, and had puzzles to solve. I wish they made more in that series.

 

I also play the Walking Dead No Man's Land on the Ipad. I like Zoo Tycoon too but it takes too much time so I rarely play it. Hubby and I play a few games together on the WiiU and PS4. He is a big gamer and likes all kinds of games.
