don't askNow Playing: "Boogie" - Wii game
Didn't get jack-all done today. I mean, nothin'. We got a second controller set and Boogie for the Wii. It's a dance and karaoke game. How sad is it that Beloved Hubby leaves me in the dust on both ? (sigh) I thought I did well singing Simply Red's Stars, but the next song - Brick House - he barely mumbled and doubled my score. And I'm not gonna get into how much better he was at the dancing portion of the thing.
I'm trying to not let that blunt my video game enjoyment, but that's precisely why I don't play the things in the first place. Even when scores aren't contingent on working multiple fiddly buttons and switches, I still rank at ‘em. I thought Wii would at least be easy enough for me to control and do fairly well at, but even that's seemingly beyond me.
Normally, I wouldn't let it bother me that someone else's score is better, but darn it, they shove the numbers in your face while you're playing. I just wanna jump around and enjoy the *&^5ing game. Not have to figure and plot and plan, and worry about floating score pads.
Maybe one day I'll find a darn video game I'm good at. And maybe RC Cola is free in fountains on that planet, too. And going out without thinking of scoring used stuff for dolls is unheard of. But I'd probably somehow be a misfit there, too !
Aaah, don't mind me. I'm having a fit of self-pity because I rank at a stupid game. Somebody call the Whaaaaambulance. I am waaaay too old for this. And there's stuff I'd much rather be doing, but I'm tired, I wanna play with Beloved, and my wrist is starting to hurt. It's just not been the positive experience I was hoping for.
On the whole, I'd rather be sewing...
