Why? Becos of what happened today.
I went to the Toys and Comics Convention at Suntec today. Damn crowded. Probably becos it was the last day. Anyway,there was this Wii demo station and many parents were letting their precious kids try,or should I say,waste other people's time. The kids could play the games as well as I could get number 1 position in a game of Halo,or any other game for that matter.
Here's a scenario of one of the many LOL moments:
Little boy takes Wii zapper aka shooting thingy which does not look like a gun. He holds it at face level. The targeting reticle is nowhere to be seen and his character is pointing at the top right corner firing arrow after arrow at nothing. Meanwhile,enemies are attacking him. Behind him,some guys laugh. The boy's final score...0. No kidding.
Parents,pls DO NOT let ur child play video games if they are too young. Firstly,you will be embarrassed as ur child is waving the controller violently as though he hates it as much as his evil siblings. Secondly,you will be wasting people's time as they have no choice but to wait for ur child to finish. Wait till ur child is about 8 or 9 and understands sentences like "shoot the circles,not the crosses" or "press A to accelerate" before you let him or her play video games.
I have also seen idiotic parents blowing all their tokens at arcades in less than 5 mins. Reason? They don't know how to play the games. In Time Crisis (1,2,3 or 4 i don't care), STEP ON THE FREAKING PEDAL TO SHOOT!!!!! Too many times have I seen some dumb parent watch his or her child lose all 3 lives becos the time ran out. Or they used all their bullets and don't know how to reload. Then,they say "This game is broken"
WTH
Another example is House of the dead. Shoot outside of the bloody screen to reload,not keep on pumping the trigger and seeing zombies slash/bite/claw you. And if your child can't reach the acceleration pedal in Daytona USA,don't let him or her play it. EVER.
Ok...maybe until he/she grows...
