I think video games are stupid because I A) have a uterus and apparently will never possess the uncanny ability to beat every game EVER super fast and awesomely and B) I recently was essentially dumped for the newest Star Wars game. Yes you read correctly, a boy, or man rather, decided that he would rather play A VIDEO GAME than see me Anna Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960963186634471896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650701492083749500.post-22538918897070666112012-01-20T09:43:29.866-08:002012-01-20T09:43:29.866-08:00Oh, how I love this blog.

The first 5 minutes of Pac Man were really exciting to me, but I got bored when I didn't win immediately. I don't have kids for that same reason. <br /><br />And I'm bad at applied math, so basically, I got nothing.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15477759880480781308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650701492083749500.post-37583588671454848912012-01-19T20:12:32.313-08:002012-01-19T20:12:32.313-08:00Megiweg- sorry, this is an English language blog....Megiweg- sorry, this is an English language blog.

As I remember(I'm actually not remembering per se, but have a NES simulator) it was an incredibly hard game. <br /><br />Christian- you have to make your kids play the 3 Mario (or 4 if you're a nerd) games from the original NES. Them not learning that game would be a true failure in parenting.Megiweghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227943296376459590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650701492083749500.post-864882998663561762012-01-19T11:27:19.082-08:002012-01-19T11:27:19.082-08:00Hey, Paper Boy on the NES made me aware of my surr...Hey, Paper Boy on the NES made me aware of my surroundings.
