I have to pipe up here and offer up a small story. I truly intend this to be humorous.
I have to admit, I'm not into gaming. But, normally I don't criticize those who are and I understand the attraction it has for some. We all have things we enjoy and I'm just an old fuddy duddy who sometimes "just doesn't get it."
I watched some of the curling competition on the winter olympics this past year, learned a little about the sport and generally formed the opinion that it reminded me of shuffleboard on valium. I thought there couldn't be anything more boring save watching grass grow or ice melt, until today.
I saw a kid almost jumping out of his skin playing video curling on a wii. I couldn't believe my eyes. Video sports... baseball, football, golf, basketball... but video curling? That took the cake. I walked away in "head shaking mode" after I saw that.
I know... I'm just too old. I'm sorry. As I said... I intend this to give some of you a chuckle. ;-)
