Last night I rediscovered a fact about life which shaped my childhood. Video games are way more fun when you sit up right in front of the TV. It seems like when we were kids, we all somehow knew this. I remember everyone’s parents (my own included) constantly telling us to sit further back from the TV, and yet when they left the room, we’d sneak right back up towards it. This couldn’t have been just to spite them, because every single kid sat too close to the TV. No, the only explanation is that we knew, instinctively, that closer was better.
At any rate, I rediscovered this fact last night playing Dr. Mario with Lydia, and she sat up in front of the TV because she was having trouble seeing the screen. It was at this point that she started savagely beating me at Dr. Mario, so I had to escalate the arms race and go sit up close, too. In the end, she was just better than me, but I did realize that it was more fun that way. Thanks Lydia!
It isn’t even bad for you to sit close to the TV. The only official risk is that your eyes will get tired.
YeS!
Usualy I do kidish things and people just look at me funny. I hope to test the whole “sitting way close to the TV to improve my game “with you and tetris attack sometime in the future.
