I kinda worry about it. But I don’t really play it for the missions or the rampages of shooting people, I like driving and flying around. It’s my suitemates who play it.
You might be happy to hear this isn’t a thing of the past completely. My family still does all this. When all the cousins get together we have games of baseball and basketball. And capture the flag…And cards, though mostly pokerYou know, maybe your generation might not understand, but I’ll say it anyway. In my family, we had a lot of fun playing together…everything from board games to softball, etc.
I come from a family of 11, and some of the most fun times I have ever had were playing with my family …softball in the backyard…swimming together in the resevoir or pool, playing badmitton, whiffleball, foozeball, pool, soccer, horseshoes, croquet, tennis, basketball, ping pong, gymnastics, dodgeball, handball. We also sang together and played our musical instruments together. Oh yeah, we fished together, too. We had snowball fights in the Winter, built forts. We created our own games!
Some of my brothers would play chess by the hour!
One of my sisters is one of the funniest people I have ever known in my whole life. She likes to tell funny stories and is as good as any comedian! We laugh till we cry! Oh yeah, my family LOVES cards!
Once, we had another family of 11 over to our house. Wow! We played Twister, and it was so fun!
It’s sort of sad, now, because the games often involve violence, and there’s often very little creativity involved, interaction, teamwork, or much of anything else.
My family used to be its own softball team!
Some people seem to think games are just for kids, but we play them well into old age! It’s an excuse to talk and catch up. Too bad this has all become a thing of the past!
