I'm thinking of a number...

Does it have to be dices and a checkered board for it to be a game? Do we really need a bible-sized user manual to be able to play?

I'm thinking of lots of games we used to play in the last century when i was a kid. Some of them didn't even require a computer. For instance we would take turns kicking a football on a wall. One kick each, from where the ball landed from the last kicker. The poor sod that missed the wall was out and the last kid standing was the winner. Hours of fun! The girls were jumping rope or clapping their hands together while chanting. Nice games to i assume.

Nowadays i'm putting on a headset playing Far Cry...

Hmm...I had forgot al that, tanks for bringing it back to me.

Four boys, really close friends who often meet to kick football on a wall. Sometimes we where trying to kick the ball over the roof of the house.

I remember once...we where tired of the football after a long match. We took a break, I don't know how it started but we thought the wall was so dame boring and a bit ugly. We decided to brush it up a bit, using the grass as the paint.... houses, hotels, camels and cars. The result was, as we saw it, perfect! The whole wall, 2.5m high and 10m long, was turned in to a piece of art.

Sadly my parents did not have the same, good (?) taste of art that my friends and me had. We had to scrub it, every green spot had to go of...since then I haven't painted that much
