CDG: What type of games do you play?

 

Katie: Well my sister (dot) gave me her old Nintendo DS about a year ago. It was then that I was introduced to Nintendogs and was able to raise a pug named Lola. Other than that my experiences with gaming has been limited to an old Game Boy and occasionally renting the Nintendo game system from Blockbuster.

 

CDG: What attracts you to the Wii games?

 

Katie: I like that the Wii games are more interactive than other systems. You don’t just sit down and press buttons. I enjoy moving around my living room and looking like an idiot.

 

CDG: Favorite game?

 

Katie: I would have to say Smooth Moves. This was the very first game I played on Wii. What can I say I like picking people’s noses and shaving a sheep.

 

CDG: What do you think of the perception that video gaming is a guy’s thing?

 

Katie: I think that is ridiculous. Girls are obviously better gamers than guys. I do really like the cute pick remote that you can buy for the Wii. (KIDDING)

 

CDG: Do you play to win or play for fun?

 

Katie: I PLAY TO WIN. I recently discovered that I am very mean while playing video games.
