Mini Challenge #1: We all love books, but there are other things we’re passionate about too! Mash-up a non-bookish hobby/passion/talent/fandom with your bookish life.
Well, I am pretty late with my first mini challenge post. We went to Pensacon yesterday (it was awesome, so much fun!) so I went to bed really late and exhausted. Which made it really hard for me to wake up today and get everything done.
I guess: better late than never, right?
So one of my favorite things to do is to play Video Games. I have been a video game player pretty much as long as I have loved reading. I remember playing the Atari 1600 when I was a kid. As well as, playing Mario Bros. 3 on the NES with my Dad. I would also play with my brother. I loved it. I still love it. (I totally wish my NES still worked!)
So today I am going to share with you one of my FAVORITE games (series) that I have fallen in love with.
DRAGON AGE!!!
Honestly, I can't remember that well when I first got the first game. It couldn't have been that long after it came out because I have played it a lot. (I became pretty obsessed and have even played the game all the way through with at least 3 different characters. And I am thinking of doing it again soon!) I remember L saying "I'm getting you this game, I think you'll enjoy it." And he was right.
There are a lot of reasons I love playing all of the Dragon Age games. I love that I get to make so many decisions that will decide what happens in the game. I also love that there is some romance. I am a sucker for romance. (*Dreamy Eyes* Alistair and Cullen!) And I LOVE the story. I find it interesting and the storyline is one of my favorite things about playing RPGs. (Role Playing Game)
I wouldn't say Throne of Glass and Dragon Age are the same. But I do think that if you enjoy reading High Fantasy books and like playing video games, Dragon Age is a game to play!
What are your non-bookish hobbies?
Hiiii!!! I want to read the Throne of Glass series so bad! I love that picture, those games seem fun!! <3
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of great things about Dragon Age. I think I'm going to have to check it out sometime!
ReplyDeleteI love video games, too. Some of my favorite franchises are Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts. There's just something about a story in a game that draws you in, you know?
Some of my non-bookish hobbies, besides video games, are drawing, writing, binging TV shows, and going for hikes.

I've heard of Dragon Age, but never played it! I really want to give it a shot, but I tend to be picky about the games I play. Glad to read about why you enjoyed it though. It makes me lean towards giving it a shot at some point!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check these games out! High Fantasy is awesome and if it is at all comparable to Throne of Glass, it has to be awesome! I'm not a huge fan of playing xbox, but at the very least, I'll buy it for the BF and make him play it so I can watch! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Throne of Glass yet but it's on my TBR list. I like the way you compared Dragon Age to the series, that was a good idea. I like gaming too but I tend to play more simulation games rather than roleplaying.
ReplyDeleteAwesome mash-up idea! I played video games all the time in college but I don't have my own system now so I haven't played in a long time. I love dragons so I'm sure that one is awesome!
