Anything Goes

It was a great deal when internet boomed to the public. Many opportunities came along the way. When I was first introduced to a computer, I was only a grade schooler. We were actually thought about the parts of the personal computer and some programs in DOS which we really didn’t care. Because what we all want when the computer class resume, is that we were playing Super Mario Bros game. I still remember the very first was a Mario game that we need to type in the letters in the keyboard to actually save the princess at the end. And the teacher would grade us with our accuracy, and the position of the fingers in the keyboard. Now I’m wondering if I have my skills now back then.

It just envy me sometimes that students today are not experiencing the excitement when computer class is about to start. Because when classes are over, they just run of to the nearest computer shop to just play games or visit their online web space, which most are from sites that offers them for Free (such as MySpace, Friendster, imeem, etc). They really do not get that much learning from the school class when it regards to computer (as I have heard, cause many are still asking me even the simplest thing on computers).

As I realized, it sure looks like the games of today makes kids stupid. Really, what type of skill or lesson would a teenager learn from just clicking a character here and there to kill an opponent. Or even pointing the gun on a first person mode games and it would just repeat after all the enemies are dead.

I have no hatred from these types of games. I do actually even play them from time to time before. I love computer games!!! Why, because these games are where I learned how to deal with life accordingly. I even do now as a matter of fact. Let me share the game that has the biggest impact in my way of living. It’s “The Sims” simulation game. It surely thought me first about how to save the money. Even if there are cheats, I learned what skills and mood I need to be able to get promotions and achievement in my career. And seriously, even the way the game makes it look funny and stupid, that is where I learned how to flirt with Girls

When I play action games, I am able to realize how save your ammunition, which in real life is money. Of course, I play these games with no cheat. Because it is really boring if you can just do everything and anything from it.

There are even a lot more for me to share, but I’m sure readers are getting more boring with longer post. So why don’t you share what you learn from playing games that you are able to apply in real life? And what games are those?
