I thought “games” were supposed to be fun. Isn’t “fun” the very ingredient that classifies something, anything as a game?
I came up the stairs a few minutes ago to my daughter playing this game online. This is a game my entire family plays, including my cousins. It is a MMORPG or Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing game. There are many different games that are MMORG’s. Probably the most popular of them being World of WarCraft. The one we play is a super hero game called City of Heroes. It’s a lot of fun and can consume an entire day in a blink of an eye.
Any way, I came up the stairs to find Anastasia logged in and building a new character while on her cell phone with her cousin arguing about the types of characters they are going to build. Anastasia is obviously upset when she hangs up the phone. I ask here what is going on. She starts telling me this whole story about how her cousin wants her to make new characters and that she doesn’t want to make new characters and this and that and so on……
I looked at her, laughed and asked the simple question, “I thought games were supposed to be fun?” Even as I type this the drama continues and the only thing I have told her, is if she is not having fun, then don’t play.
