Spore
posted in fathers, Frenzied Daddy |Miss B got a big enough giftcard from her grandparents that she was able to buy, basically, the world. She could buy almost any xbox or wii game, or some packs for sim 2 … but what she chose, what she’s been asking about for months … was Spore.
Cute game. I’ve played through the cell stage and the creature stage a few times. Have just barely cracked the tribal stage and entered “civilization.” Both of the girls play it and like it.
The TT was playing it last night. She’s great at the cell stage where she has to drive around eating stuff (generally she plays herbivores). She’s good at the critter stage. However, she has a real problem with the tribal stage. It’s just past her ability to grasp tactics. She’ll be doing something, and some other tribe will annoy her so she’ll go to their town to beat them up and get slaughtered and have to start all over again.
She did that for about three hours last night until I put her to bed (late, cuz I was up working). Build up her tribe, maybe kill off one tribe, go attack another, get slain, start over, build up her tribe… She was very determined.
So determined that when I finally took her upstairs and away from the computer, she screamed at me for twenty minutes, kicking and clawing at the door to the basement. Yeah, she’s lost privileges for the day, but I’m in total awe of her dedication.
