very important question! do you guys like video games?
Young Krow nodded enthusiastically. "Oh, good question. Yeah, I do! Or, in theory. I haven't had the chance to really play them much, so much has been going on in my life. But Honey — he's our Mikey — showed me what Sonic the Hedgehog is, as well as his counterpart, Shadow." He grinned. "I like Shadow! He's cool. And his name matches the name of my pet ferret."
"I've tried to play video games with the others, but I sort of… get stuck? Usually at the character customization screen or the tutorial. Even when I start, I don't know what to do first." He shrugged. "Maybe I need to be given less choices."

Old Krow shook his head. "No, but not for the reason you think. I've played them, of course, do I look like I was born in the 20th century?" There was a beat before he said flatly, "Don't answer that question."
He continued, "The reason I don't like them is because I found I'm not good at them. Kind of sucks all the fun out of it when you can never win. All those reflexes and skills in fighting and sports don't do shit for me in video games. Guess pressing little buttons isn't exactly the same thing."
He smiled a little. "Though I'm good at the motion games. I'm the Wii Bowling champ. Not too bad at Golf either."
"Overall, while I'm bad at them, I do think they are fun. Engaging. Maybe a little too much. It's distracting. I always feel like I should be doing anything else."
