Ditto the Monster looks at the world of family friendly online games from a Fabricated American perspective

My New blog

So it’s me, Ditto. Yeah, I’ve had some recent ‘problems’ that I don’t want to get into here, but let’s just say that I have been ‘encouraged’ by certain state and local officials to find a good way to entertain myself and have fun in a safe and morally un-ambiguous way.

I thought computer games would be my ticket, as I love shiny flashing lights and sounds, but having thick orange fur and only three fingers on each hand makes playing first person shooter games problematic, and my attention span isn’t really good for the long-playing ‘strategy’ or role-playing kinds of games. I thought I was stuck, but thankfully my friend Grover sent me a link to this ‘Wizard 101’ game. At first I thought it was just a kid’s game, and a cheesy one at that, but then I realized that I was judging it without really knowing anything about it – like people judge me as some silly orange ‘stuffed animal’ without ever getting to know me. without ever digging deep to know the REAL Ditto Monster. Of course those that have often wind up getting a restraining order against me, but that’s all in the past, we’re not going to talk about that here…

So anyway – I decided to give it a try, and I’m really glad I did. I’ll keep updating this blog as I play, and hopefully meet some other Fabricated Americans and even other people who like playing this game. Maybe I’ll even make a few friends, because really, isn’t that what life is about?
