Playing Video Games
Would you believe that I never had the chance to play video games as a child? Well, yes, I didn’t and there is nothing really surprising about that. Maybe for my cousins who grew up in the States that’s weird but I grew up in a place where children play out in the streets amidst dust, pollution, flood and potential leptospirosis :) In our world, X-Box, Nintendo, and the likes are only seen on TV. We were contented with patintero and sungka and other traditional Filipino games.
Fortunately, I got the chance to play Super Mario. Thanks to my classmates in high school who introduced me to family computer. Later in college, I discovered that there are a lot of free games in the internet especially in Yahoo. My besfriend and I used to skip lunch just so we can save our allowance for computer rentals. And then, my brother taught me how to play counter strike and dota and he’s still convincing me to play Madden 10 with him. My little knowledge about such webgames made me think that I wasn’t being left behind when it comes to the latest in technology.
