Next time SarahK yells at me for playing video games, I’ll just tell her I’m practicing to be a good father. Girls playing video games with their father helps them learn important skills… or at least so says a little thing called Science!.
Can’t wait to one day teach Buttercup how to pwn n00bs. Now where did I put her…
This dad is headed out to get a playstation… thanks, Science!
I’m thinking that lesson will sound like this: “HA! You just pwn’d by your own daddy, n00b!”
Typical Science!, just trying be hip. You won’t see History. compromising on foundations like books and lectures by VDH to get more in touchd with the kids like the clowns in charge of Science!
I don’t know, Capt Marco. Lately History. has been busy telling my kids that WWII was won solely by Rosie the Riveter, Navajo codetalkers and the Tuskegee Airmen.
That’s not History., JJ, that’s History! (WordPress does not give me the option to add pink text)
First lesson: Tubin’ is for noobs!
Better brush up on your Angry Birds, Frank. Kids luv Angry Birds.
You can learn history through video games, one of my favorites is Empire: Total War.
Frank, if you wanna make a man out of her go to some retro toy store, buy her a set of lawn darts and play ‘catch’.
But that’s still a long way off. You’re probably in the ‘dodging mustard jets’ phase right now. Kevlar and Tyvek were invented for such occasions.
And when all else fails…

Frank, you are living in fantasy land. When she gets into games she will dominate you. You will be left sitting there wondering “how did that happen.”
Once you have taught her how,
you will only have to look in the mirror to see
a pawnd n00b.
I’m guessing 10 years , tops.
Circle of life, Brother, circle of life.
Rayfan, I’m a little hesitant to pick up Empire, what with the Steam and the poor AI I’ve read about, but RTW and MTW both get two thumbs up.
I can’t wait till Buttercup goes for her first day of school and punches out the biggest kid in class and is sent home with a note from her teacher! Good Girl Buttercup!
Why do I suspect her first word will be “wo0t!” ?
