geebsI was replying to one of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mike_b journal entries and that had me thinking about video games. Its odd, I have no problems with RPGs, fighting games, or anything where you just kill stuff. But I totally suck at sports games, including x-treme sports games or any of those games where you like push buttons in sequence to music, like DDR or Parappa. I just can't get my mind around them!! I mean, I can memorize and perform insane button combinations if its for some super move in a fighting game, or do press things in a rhythym if it opens a door to a dungeon or de-activates a trap. But try to get me to perform some fancy snowboard move or press buttons to a beat for no reason other than to press it to the beat, and I can't. Theoretically, its just button pressing.
And hey, finally maxed out all 42 characters and got all 47 weapons in DW4. I'm sick. And yet I still don't feel like I've completed the game. I mean, I haven't gotten all the endings, nor gotten the best of every single item. Ha, and I wonder why I feel so out of shape. I really need to start exercising.
Its freezing down here.
