July 2014: Video Game Month

We decided to do a video game month, which really is kind of a silly theme, but Chris was traveling 3 weeks out of July, so I agreed to it since I would be on my own for a lot of the time. I attempted to download a few games onto my computer, one of which was suggested to me because it is the same people who made my favorite video game series Dragon Age! Susan, Kendra, and I, like to geek out over that game. It is a role playing game based in a fantasy world and while playing you can play out various romance stories between characters, what I also liked about it was that you never had to wonder where to go next, there was always a quest you were doing or a place you knew you had to go. I had tried playing Skyrim in the past and didn't like it all the much because it was too open world for me and there was no definite end to the game. The dragon age serious tells a story, it's like watching a series of interactive movies. After having issues downloading games onto my computer for whatever reason, I decided to try a game called Oblivion that Chris had around. I created my character and started playing. There was a main storyline that I kept following since I was so used to dragon age, but Chris said I didn't have to follow the main story line. I enjoyed playing it for the most part, but it has the same fluke as skyrim, It is too open-world for me and not enough of a solid storyline. Chris experimented with a game called Boom Beach on his Ipad and both of us got even more involved in Clash of Clans on our I-phones. All in all, I can't wait for Dragon Age 3 Inquisition to come out. It was supposed to be released this October, but it is now being delayed until November. Stay tuned for next months theme "Outdoor Activities".
