These Dice Are Pink

Ramblings on Roleplaying, GMing, Books, and Gaming

Back to Routine

My mother was visiting for a week, so, before that we had to clean like our lives depended on it.  As such, I didn’t get much else done and had very little energy for other things.  My mother, up until this week, had never played a video game.  I talked her into trying the Wii Sports game and bowling.  She didn’t do too bad!  At first, I was nervous that the controls would be a little too much for someone who has never used a controller.  However, bowling really uses A and B and you swing it.  It’s that safe.  So, we delved into it.  Eventually, my mother was moving herself around back and forth using the arrows and got strikes and spares!  It was a really good time and a good test of just how easy and compelling a system like the Wii can be for someone who isn’t a big fan of video games.
