Pc Gaming: not Just for Couch Potatoes
PC gaming is not just for the couch potatoes. The great thrilling pc games are for everyone who wants to get a thrill moving the joystick and conquering the obstacles. Boys and young men who like to get some thrill and fun without getting their trousers dirty.
Well before there was pc gaming, young men used to go out into the fields playing football, climbing trees, jumping into rivers, rolling down slopes, climbing hills, heading brawls, and all the things that were normal fun for boys of a different generation.
Now the fights are usually conformed to pc gaming or gaming with game consoles for that matter. It seems girls are not as much interested in pc gaming as boys and men are. Or is it a discriminatory observation? Any way, most households can see boys spending time pc gaming, while girls spending their time in the kitchen, at the garden, before the TV, and filling their scrapbooks.
Video games, brick games, puzzle games, there isn’t a game category that is not available for PC gaming. The choices of PC gaming is endless and you can’t possibly try all the PC games available today. By the time you try a small percentage of games, the pc gaming industry would have expanded beyond your reach. Anyway, it is fun to spend hours and days before the pc, tying a new game and remaining unsuccessful cracking the final frontier after one month of toiling.
PC gaming is not always a one man affair. Sometimes it can be interactive too. With broadband internet becoming norm of the day, you can play high graphics games with your friend, who can be at Sydney or in Paris, just like would play face to face. You can get the thrills of challenging your friend, without having to feel embarrassed if defeated. Online interactive games go far beyond the online chess games available at hundreds of different websites.
You can find dozens (sometimes hundreds) of titles at your local mall, local computer centre and online. Free to download games, paid to download, and games available in DVDs and CDs, the world of pc gaming is quite fascinating one, you don’t ever have to play the same game more than you like to. If you are fed up with one game, just throw it away and there are dozens of others on the queue, vying for your attention.
Good graphics card, sound card, joy stick, etc are needed for pc gaming. The speed and memory of the computer also are important components of good gaming experience. Computers that support super speed games are in demand.
Reading this you might think pc gaming is a post 2000 phenomena. It is not. PC gaming has been around since 1960s. Spacewar! of 1961 is the first PC game. Several games have come and gone since then. The unfettered interest to pc gaming knows no bounds. It can’t be explained. Only people who spend time before their pc, gaming could understand what it means to be pc gaming.

Will the Nintendo Wii catch on with American fat couch potatoes?
I’m not a fan of video games, I’m a very sporty guy. But I loved the Wii, I was played it last night with my tennis partner the tennis game. The game only requires you to move your arms just a bit, but we overdid it making the movements as though we were playing on the courts. We cleared all the furniture out of the room, and ended up all sweaty. I loved the baseball game; we were competing who could throw the ball at the most miles per hour, and who could hit the ball out the most, we probably overdid the baseball moves as well.
At least the people who love videogames are fat guys. Most Americans are fat, will Nintendo Wii appeal to these guys?

I think it depends on the kind of games the people who buy the Wii will play. I mean if you’re standing up like you were and moving about and you love to play the game and you do that every day then sadly I must say that you should be getting some excercise by doing that. Pretty humerous if you ask me. But if you get the lazy games, not sure what they are, but pretty sure there are some out there, I’m sure people will become more of a couch-potato then they already are. Goodluck with finding your answer

Us fat guys love the Wii. It’s about time we got a better workout from a video game system. DDR became lame a while ago, so my butt keeps getting bigger. Now maybe it will get smaller.

Try not sterotyping people. The wii is going to lose appeal based on it simply being new and once it is no longer new no one will care. It won’t get many fans because Nintendo doesn’t do much beyond kids games usually.

I believe you can consider yourself a couch potato and still play the wii. The wiimote doesn’t have to be swung around in huge sweeping motions. Take Twilight Princess for example. To swing your sword you don’t have to literally swing your whole arm (though it make the game more fun), you only need to flick your wrist in the right dirrection. The only truly active game ive seen so far is Wario Ware:Smooth Moves. Some of the minigames involve running, or flapping your arms, or many other things. Really, I’m a couch potato too. The Wii can really just be an exercise thing if you want it to, but it isn’t only that. Plus, you can download games from older systems that only use buttons if you really want to. Or Excite Truck, the only motion is tilting the wiimote. I dunno. I think I’ve rambled enough.
