Video Game Blog (Beginning)

My video game selection for IT468 is The Sims 3.   

I am looking forward to learning more about this game, its functions, graphics, and details of how it was created and what can be done to improve it.  I am also looking forward to what I am going to learn about myself playing this video game.  

When I first purchased the video game, it took about an hour or so to set up on my laptop.  Once it was installed, because I was connected to the internet, it updated the version on my laptop as well.

So far I have set up a couple of housemates, one male and one female.  It took much time to select facial features, clothing, and personal traits for them, because I pay attention to detail.  I wanted to created the characters around myself and a friend, just to see how things will pan out.  I am going to create maybe two more households later on into my playing time.  I want to see how different the scenarios will turn out.

I would say I was on my laptop for about two hours just to start the game up.  I am relieved that because I chose a DVD-ROM software, I can play anywhere I choose as long as I bring my personal laptop.  I am not restrained to one place unlike some people who are playing video games on a console. Playing on a console has its ups as well.  If I was playing a game on a console, I could bring the game (along with the console) to whomever's home I visit.  But the only dilemma would be the person(s) not owning a television.  So playing a video game on my personal laptop has its perks.
