"I didn't lose, the other team just scored more points than I did, even though we're all working towards the same number of points."
No losers this year.. Yay.. Just emphasizes even more that everyone that participates in FIRST is already a winner..
So??
I'm just like a lot of other people.. I like a lot of physical matches where it comes down to the wire for who's going to win the match.. I absolutely loved watching nationals last year even though I was going to die from heat stroke.. But I'm not complaining..
So because of the previously stated, I'm not ABSOLUTELY in love with the game yet.. But I don't absolutely hate it either..
Right now I'm really intrigued by it.. Partially because I don't really have a clue what's going on yet.. (but that's besides the point) But it's really because it's all about STRATEGY and precision of a different sort this year..
I'll get back to you when I really know what's going on in my head.. I'm just waiting for the 3DS workshop to be done so I can bring my gang (Colleen, Robby, Nate) back to my home so we can do a combo of brainstorming for the competition and playing Nintendo64 (yay Lego Racers)..
