There's been a distinct lack of time to make anything round these parts the last few weeks. Mostly because we have all 3 disappeared down the particular rabbit hole that is Diablo 3.
When Spouse and I first lived together (17 years ago!) we lost weeks and months of evenings to the original Diablo on the PlayStation. He was thrilled to have a gaming girlfriend - I was thrilled he had a PlayStation. *g* When Diablo 2 came out before we were parents I played it myself - we were gutted when it wasn't a multiplayer game. Now, Chook loves a game called Star Stable. You own, compete with and complete tasks with various horses you buy (with game or real money) but can customise them and improve their stats with rider items and equine tack. So she's used to the questing and goodie aquisition format. The question was could she get behind the swords and sorcery theme. Her not being a sci-fi fan meant I didn't really have a handle on her fantasy leanings.

I can happily report that she absolutely loves it! That's her badass monk there in the middle. And Spouse's barbarian, Farticus. *rollseyes*

So family gaming nights have become popular here. We're even playing once a week online with my boss, heh heh. But it has greatly reduced my sewing time! I'll get back to it eventually, I'm enjoying crusading far too much currently to care! There is a reason I have never bought a World of Warcraft membership.
Amiright?!
Haha. Can't get into it myself but having watched my boys and their dad I totally know where you're at. Go f'rit girl/family/peeps :)
ReplyDeleteChief told me he used to lose whole weekends gaming. He was once involved in a multiplayer game online and was very popular. He then found out he was the only grown up playing with a gang of teenage boys. Think that put him off a bit!
ReplyDeleteclosest i've come would be zelda on the first ds, or the weeks spent watching (go there! no! use that! etc) man play fallout.... that was fun. specially when something scary jumped out at you from nowhere...
ReplyDeleteOh ....... Lara Croft : Tomb Raider don't think I slept for fortnight 😂
ReplyDeleteDiablo is one game I've never gotten around to trying. I am glad I left my few years of Asheron's Call behind and didn't think WoW was as good - and now I'm kind of torn because I was about to choose between trying this new game my husband thinks I should play, having a relaxing game of Civ IV, or to go work on this dress I was in the middle of cutting out...
ReplyDeleteI'm flashing back to tetris. I couldn't get enough...even had/have tetris dreams. I swear it's made be better at packing luggage or moving stuff in a large truck. Go on, develop some (useless) life skill. xx
ReplyDeleteI've never been a game junkie, unless you count my Sudoku addiction (let's not, okay? ;o) ) but glad you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the sew together bags you've been making, but really, can't think why you're not going into mass production...
:-). I have a Diablo, but mine's a little sandwich toaster thing!!!! We still have our original Atari, but just the very basic games: ping pong, crossing the road, those ones, nothing as fun as yours
ReplyDeleteMy limit is Lemmings, Tetris, Sonic and Mario - I prefer platform games and once spent ages (and ages!) lost under the shrieking shack in the Harry Potter gameboy game! Might have to get it back out...I even have the original Gameboy gremlins and Mario games!
ReplyDeletePrincess carefully stays with the WoW free stuff. I've resisted gaming at the moment...
