My grandson told me about these volleyball games for psp. He plays that all the time, so I wanted to know what it was all about. I asked him to show me, and it’s that little machine he holds in his hands. It’s got buttons and a screen, and he plays all sorts of games on it.
Volleyball on that little thing
He showed me how you can play volleyball on that thing. I couldn’t believe my eyes! It’s like having a whole volleyball court in your pocket. He said it’s called a PSP, and there are lots of volleyball games for psp. He likes the ones where you can make your own players and teams. That sounds right complicated to me, but he’s good at it.
I saw one game, he said it was called “Super Something Blast”. Don’t remember. But it was fun to watch. He was playing against his friend, and they were both tapping away at those buttons like crazy. Those little people on the screen were jumping and diving all over the place. It made me tired just watching them. But my grandson, he just keeps going and going. He said there are other games too, like that “Pro Volleyball 2”. Sounds serious.
Lots of other games too
He told me there are other games you can play on that PSP, not just volleyball. He showed me some where you shoot things, and some where you run around and collect stuff. I don’t know, it all looks the same to me. But he likes them, and that’s all that matters.
He was talking about “Daxter”, and “Final Fantasy”, and “Ghost of Sparta”. What kinda names are those? Sounds like some kind of movie to me. And then there’s “Pursuit Force” and “Killzone”. Those sound violent. I told him he shouldn’t be playing those violent games, but he just laughed. Says it’s all just fun and games. I guess.
Getting those games
He said you gotta “download” these games. I don’t know what that means. Sounds like you’re pulling something down from the sky. He said it’s something you do on the computer, and then you put the games on that PSP thing. It’s all too much for me.
He was talking about something called “PPSSPP”. Sounds like a cat hissing. He said it’s a way to play those PSP games on the computer or on your phone. Your phone! Can you believe that? You can play volleyball on your phone now. What will they think of next?
Volleyball is different now
Back in my day, we played volleyball for real. We’d set up a net in the yard and play until it got dark. We didn’t need no fancy machines to play games. We just needed a ball and some friends. But I guess times are changing.
- These young folks, they like their gadgets.
- They like to play their volleyball games for psp.
- They don’t go outside as much as we used to.
- Always got their faces glued to those screens.
He was saying something about the rules of volleyball changing. Something about 25 points now instead of 30. And something about “rally scoring”. I don’t know what that means. Sounds like they’re making it more like a race or something. Back when I was younger, we didn’t keep score like that. I don’t remember the rule, only know we had a lot of fun.
Best volleyball games, he says
My grandson, he says there are all these lists of the “best” volleyball games for psp. Says people vote on them and everything. I don’t know who these people are, but they sure do have a lot of opinions about these games. He says he likes to look at those lists to see what games he should play next. I guess it’s like when I used to ask my neighbor what kind of pie she was baking this week.
He says you can play these volleyball games on the phone and computer now. That’s just crazy to me. I can’t even figure out how to use my phone to call people, let alone play games on it. But he’s good at it. He can do all sorts of things on that phone. It’s like magic.
I guess these volleyball games for psp are alright. They keep him entertained. It’s better than him getting into trouble, I suppose. And it’s nice that he can play with his friends, even if they’re not in the same room. I just wish he’d go outside and play sometimes too. Get some fresh air. But I guess this is the way things are now. These kids and their gadgets. They’re always up to something. Still, it’s nice he’s having fun.
