Read this with great pleasure (even despite the fact my english is a bit not enough:).
You're wonderful! If I understood all the text right - you really are:)
In fact I never had any problems with gaming (I mean worrying my parents with it), cause when I first saw World of Warcraft I was already somewhere around 25 and was married. So, my husband introduced me to the game. I didn't stuck for long, but it really helped me.
How?
The games graphic is something out of this world, and it game me A LOT of inspiration for drawing and improving my skills:)
Oh so grateful for your coming here even though English is not your first language. This is a great way to challenge your language skills.
There are lots of adults playing games and I think it's really cool how a couple can share such a powerful experience when they both engage such a reality.
I have sat through many a game being played by my son and @quinneaker. I couldn't have cared less about the game, but the graphics were astounding!!!! The colors and everything about the design is incredibly inspiring and I too gained much from WOW without even playing as artists take advantage of such opportunities. Great point @inber. Thanks for your comment.
