Bethany and I are playing Hand and Foot today with my parents. It is a fun game where we play with partners. Naturally we play as couples. I just do not see any good coming from she and I being on opposite teams. And we have a lot of fun together. We are at the point where we are just about even with my parents as far as skill level, so we win about as much as they do.
A pity we don't have more people that we can play team games with, or even co-op games. One of the greatest hinderances that the two of us have found with our gaming choices is that many of them just are not as fun with only two people. I would love to see what Small world is like with 4 or 5 people, and Tom Vassel has videos on some very neat-looking multi-player games (Ghost Stories, Castle Panic, Heroscape, etc).
Once again, I must pause and wonder if there is any way to incorporate the social aspect of gaming into the ministry. My wife and I have talked about it a lot, but there just doesn't seem to be a way to do it here in Arkansas.
I know that incorporating gaming into a ministry would be hard work but gaming is ripe with souls needing direction. How better to show people that there are Godly people who game than to create a ministry for it! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Alyssa...there is such a need for people to feel plugged in and connected to something bigger than them.
