i know this is about board games but i have a dirty secret...
i LOVE to watch people play video games. this is because i am totally uncoordinated and hate having to bother to remember how to work the controller thing. also, the controller thing tends to make me get immediate repetitive strain injury. it might also have something to do with being a horrid back seat driver. i get to be totally bossy and all like "omg! i can't believe you didn't go right you FOOL! NO! your _other_ right!"
that's my confession. I got Vim a Wii for his birthday and have been ever since forcing him to play Zelda while i watch.
oh Link! Ride that wild boar you dirty little elf!
the thing is, she's good. so un-video-coordinated it's funny, but she's the one that asks all the good questions to get the zelda puzzles solved.
M: have you looked in the armpit of the statue?
V: uh.. yeah
M: do it again for me
V: DANG. there's the magic whatsit.

She (or more rather you) should not investigate Heroes of Might and Magic V. One of my favorite video game series of all time. Plays like a board game (it's turn-based) but has leaders who level up and acquire shitloads of skills. There are so many combinations of skills that Minnie may have the time of her life figuring out the best combos. Either that or she goes insane at the multitude of them all.
