Cheats: Video Games or Real Life?
Here is my response to my moms blog post.
Mooooooom,
Aren’t you over reacting a little bit??? It’s not like I’m gonna get an extra life on new super Mario bros. then go and con some guy into paying me 50 bucks for a glass of lemonade.
It’s just a video game! I use my cheats so I can get farther in the game and See what the last level is like. It’s not like I get paid every time i beat a level, (though it would be nice.)
When I am playing single player It gets a bit boring cheating all the time. I am constantly finding myself restarting a game to play it without cheats. I enjoy the satisfaction I get when I beat a game, that I don’t get when I beat it in 5 minutes due to cheats. It really depends on the cheat. I don’t feel satisfied when I choose beat all levels, but I still feel satisfied when I choose always big Mario.
When I am playing multi-player it’s a different story. I loooove beating other kids butts, with or without cheats. Of course, if I was playing pokemon with a 6 year old I wouldn’t choose 1 hit kill, but if I was battling a friend then I would.
If you always beat people they wont want to battle you anymore. I would play cheats with someone else who has cheats then it would be fair, a battle of the cheats. If I was battling someone without cheats I might cheat the first time, to surprise them but I wouldn’t continue using cheats.
I guess what I’m saying is that cheats are fine and anyone no mater how old will find out that it is no fun to always win. You don’t have to worry about us kids, we know when to stop cheating.
Your game savvy daughter with cheat know how,
Kayla
