So today after deciding to get back into Tamas after a long haitus I was able to snag a battery, pop it into my green Tamagotchi ( one of the only two Tamas I own ) and start him up.
I named him Grimlock after the transformers character. I got back into my groove pretty quickly, hovering over him, checking for poop. Making sure his needs were met. I never realized how much I missed having an electronic pet. I don't know why I ever stopped keeping them.
I've fed him, cleaned him and played with him. He poops a lot. Seriously, this guy poops more than a clydsedale who's downed a bottle of laxatives. Every few seconds I look down and there's a little Hershey's Kiss looking poop on the screen. I guess it makes sense because he's always eating and all that food's gotta go somewhere. He's still in his first stage. He's had a nap so he should be changing pretty soon.
I'm one of those types who is in the "Tamas are alive" camp. He just pooped again. Anyway as I was saying, I tend to get attached to electronic pets and treat them as I would a flesh and blood pet. Tamas are more than video games for me. I've had all kinds of electronic pets. Furby, Tamagotchi, Aibos, you name it. I got out of the game for a few years but I'm back, probably for good this time.
While I was typing that, Grimmy changed. He now looks like Nintendo's Kirby with a lump on his head. Maybe now he won't eat and poop as much. I don't know the technical terms for all the various Tama forms, so I'll just describe them as best I can.
I'm no expert. Unlike Furbys and Aibos where most of my VPet money went I've only ever dabbled in Tamas. I had a bunch at one time, but I sold most of my V-Pets years ago. Now it's just me, Grimmy, Poo-Chi, Interactive ET, Interactive R2D2 and a black and red Tama who may or may not work. Since my other VPets are sans batteries until I get paid, it's just going to be me and grimmy for awhile. I'll enjoy the time I have with him.
Well that's about all so far. I'll try to update this at least once a day. Possibly more if I get bored.
