So i went home for reading week. Well thats i lie, i went home for family day since im back up in the loo and getting ready to spend 4 days at my "part time" job while getting ready for a pretty crazy looking end of February and early March. But the point of this blog isnt that school sucks the life energy out of me...that would take up more space than blogger has.
The point of this blog is that casual games find there ways into our lives in the most unsuspecting places...
Picture this, im at two of my best friends house (they are brother and sister) and the just as we are about to leave to the bars my buddy tells me about this game he played for hours last night...next thing you know we have the computer open and the group of us are intensly playing a game of Huntsville detective.
Want im most impressed by is that non of us are gamers, occasionally playing Wii or something when we are with others, but never has a video game held us back from a bar.
Yet we spent at least 30 mins playing this game before we finally stopped lying to our friends who kept texting to find out our ETA and said we would be late.
Has anyone experianced this were a complete random game has kept you from doing somehting you wanted to do. I understand that a casual game can easily keep you from going to class or starting that DAC assignment (its extra class work afterall). But here a casual game delayed us from a night out.
Maybe this is nothign, and the only reason i am so intrigued is because so much of my week is spent doing work for DAC300. But later that night when i was going home, i really had to think - that was one hell of a casual game if it can keep a group of people interested on their way to the bar.
Happy Reading Week,
Nico
