With all the crabbing we do here, I thought I would throw this in to lighten the mood. This may be more applicable for my fellow gamer parents, but hopefully everyone will be able to appreciate this.
So my daughter has been playing this game and she told me that I should try it I would probably like it. She shows me some game play and it looks okay. She would like me to get the game so we can play together.
That sounds great!
So I fork over the $20 and buy my own copy. I spend two days trying to sort out the mechanics and how things even work (there is very little instructions or in game information on most of the finer details). This game is also part 2 of a series, of which I have never played part 1, so there may be a lot that is a given that is just flying over my head.
So I, still having failed to clear a single level, jump on line and join a CO-OP match with some strangers. I learn a bunch but in the end I decide I didn’t want to unlock the bow lady I wanted the engineer!
So I tell my daughter my story, not leaving out the part where I have still failed to clear a single level in the solo game. I ask her how do I unlock the engineer and how do I find her online so we can play together.
She kind of hesitates, and says “…You should probably get to learn a few more of the classes before…”
I am a bit stunned at first, I do not know what to say. I kind of chuckle and reply “Yeah you are probably right. I’ll do that.”
Then a few minutes later it hit me. Did my daughter, my flesh and blood, the person who I taught how to not crap in her pants and how to eat with a spoon just tell me: “GIT GUD scrub, I am not going to carry your ass!”
Beaming with pride I say to myself. “Sweetheart I may need to GIT GUD, but I can tell that I have already DUN GUD.”
Thank you for reading.
