You may recall, I finally upgraded my ancient computer not long ago. It had free samples of different types of games to try (about an hour each trial period). I have never cared for computer games and have never been good at them. Avoided PacMan, and all of that in the 70s and never caught on since... Anyway...

One day recently I decided to try the free trial of role playing game ("FATE" to see what all the hoopla was about. It has good graphics, but is an easier game for beginners and is rated G (no gore). I got hooked. I can't believe at age 42 I am playing a ~computer game~. I bought the off-line version. One reason I like it is I can make the character look like me... and I get a pet side-kick to help me out. I picked an orange cat just like Pookey (and named him "Pookey".

It is so funny. I am killing "monsters" and my faithful companion is wandering around lost and sniffing things and cleaning his face, like real life, LOL. Sometimes he'll even run from a fight, LOL. No other game really interests me and we'll see how long this one does, but I love it primarily for the fact I could bring Pookey with me. I spend more time saving him than myself, LOL...

At the rate I am playing, I won't make it to the final level (45 or something) until I am 82.

When the computer Pookey meows sometimes, Pookey will start meowing in real life, too, LOL!
