Well that's my virginity gone. For the first time in my life, on Wednesday evening, I played on a games console. It was some shoot-'em-up type game for the X Box and I admit that my previously held (and I now admit misguided) misunderstanding of games has now evaporated. I doubt I will become a fully fledged gamer but I may start playing games a little more as I had great fun and I would also like to feel a little left out of one of the main interests of the Fandom as a whole.
I used to play computer games a lot (on the PC) but gave up in the mid-Nineties when I lost interest. Modern day games just weren't as good as the original Doom and Duke Nukem 3D etc however perhaps now I should give them another bash - after all 12 years is a long time and things have undoubtedly moved on since then.
My fear of being completely crap also dissipated quickly as my boyfriend was tremendously patient with me. In the end I was whooping his tail like a pro. However, I must control my competitive nature and learn to relax - if I can do that whilst gaming then I may be able to sort out a few other issues I have about not being able to relax in general. If this and my feelings of self-consciousness about me being rubbish leave me, now may be the time to start having some fun :D
