After dinner tonight I decided to play my game, Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip, for a little while, and that turned into about two hours worth of video game playing. When I started Shaun White tonight I replayed some of the levels that I played last time to see if I would do better. Sometimes I did, sometimes I did not. As I played, I tried new tasks that required new skills. I realized that I am getting better at keeping my balance and doing simple jumps, but I still do not understand how to do specific tricks in the air.
After playing for about thirty minutes I completed all of the tasks on the first stage of the game, unlocked the next level, and got a new character to play with. I'm definitely making progress, and I'm still having a lot of fun with it.
Next I moved on to Wii Fit. It's been a while since I played, so I decided to work on improving my scores and unlocking new games. I think Wii Fit brings out my competitive nature. They score you on everything that you do and you can always get better. I found myself retrying tasks over and over (up to 15 times) until I either improved my ranking or became the high scorer for that game. After I had logged in over 85 minutes of Wii Fit playing, I decided to call it quits for tonight. It's no surprise that students can spend hours playing video games...I just did.

I am with you! I actually snapped at my daughters this week because they told me I was "hogging" up the Wii.
ReplyDeleteI can so see it bringing out my competitive nature because, I did the "ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Mommy is in first place-so THERE!" dance a few times. I am amazed at how my little ones have tha ability to unlock games with no trouble. I did feel very conected with them-unlike any connection I had with my folks, who shared no common interest with me. I like having them feel as if I am a cool , fun, young (they think)mom.
