Bring On Donutville!
I am now on the last level of Fitness Dash! My gym members are getting prepared to battle the people from Donutville in a tug-of-war game. It's interesting because my blog last week showed that I was getting bored and frustrated with the game. Since last week I made two changes or realizations that have helped me in the game. One, I finally hooked up a mouse to my laptop. Previously, I was just using the mouse pad on my laptop and felt restricted and slower because of it. Now I am able to maneuver my character much easier and I'm not straining my wrist anymore. So, I've gotten a lot faster. And two, I realized an easy way to earn more points. Gym members are dressed in either red or yellow clothes and when you place them on a mat, a machine, or in a shower that matches their color, you get extra points. I knew this before, but wasn't using this strategy to my advantage. Now, I make decisions based on matching colors. So whereas before when I thought you needed to move faster to move to new levels, I have learned that it is strategy that helps you move further in the game. I'm glad I came across this discovery because now I feel like I'm back in the game and I'm excited once again.

I'm glad that you were able to figure out that matching the colors can help you score more points. Now that you have this knowledge and a new mouse, do you enjoy playing more? Do you find yourself eager to play? Also, do you have the desire and the drive to "beat the game" or are you ok with just playing. I've found that although I do enjoy doing well when I play my game, I'm not driven to stop everything and play until I win. What about you?
ReplyDeleteAre you enjoying playing Wii? I am really bad, but I think it is so much fun. I have not played Shaun White without the balance board, but I think it is probably much better with the board than without it. Standing on the board does make it realistic, and it gives you a good workout. I've never been snowboarding, but I think that by playing the game I have a better understanding of how to do it.
