Hey everyone. I posted a bit about myself in my first post to in the questions forum, but thought I'd say hello here too - some of this information will be repeated from there.
I'm Trixie and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm not the usual gamer demographic - I'm over 35 and female. A little bit about my gaming history. We were one of the first people in our neighborhood to have pong. Yes, I was in the 3rd grade or something like that when it came out. I’ve never really been into video games – mostly because I can’t take the violence and I don’t like being scared. I played Castle Wolfenstein on a friend’s PC for awhile - but I always stuck to the “Daddy don’t hurt me” level. Back in 1993 I had a really old (first generation?) Sega Genesis for awhile that a friend gave me. I played Aladdin & a Mickey Mouse game but never beat the big bosses at the end of the games.
Thus ended my gaming career (aside from Solitaire and a pinball game)… until now. I played Dance Dance Revolution with the pad a few months ago at a friend’s house and I loved it. What a great way to get a workout. I had NO idea that they had pads you could jump around on! I wish I’d known about that sooner.
So, this week, I broke down and bought a used PS2 system from craigslist that came with DDR and 2 pads and some other games. I was just going to use it for DDR, but, while looking up the other games I received, I came across the reviews for Bully and it sounded just like something I would like: Not ultra violent, too complicated or scary. (Those are my requirements). I ran right over to Best Buy and bought it. I was right, I LOVE Bull. Being a brand new gamer and not at all used to the controls, I’m really slow at it - It’s taking me days and days to get through the first chapter (can you say 84 attempts at Chem 4 boys and girls? I knew you could) but it’s a lot of fun anyway. Hey, we all have to start somewhere, right?
So here’s the story I’m repeating from the other thread….
The last controller I ever played with was a super old Sega Genesis and it had far, far fewer buttons. I'm actually impressed with the complexity that is possible with this thing.
Have a free laugh on me:
I confess that I had *no* idea the controller was going to vibrate and it scared the hell out of me the first time. I actually screamed a little and threw it down! I was almost afraid to touch it again. I had bought the system used so I thought maybe something was wrong with it and I was going to get an electrical shock. Now that's just f-ing funny and I can laugh at myself. My saving grace is that I didn't have to endure the humiliation of friends or family seeing such a display.
So, now when I ask really lame, super basic questions, you’ll know why – I’m not a total idiot, just a newbie. Okay, maybe I AM an idiot, but I like to pretend its just newness. Heh.
