Re: C64 games coming to Wii’s Virtual Console

Cool! We used to have Commodore 64's in our computer lab in High School. (Yes I know, I'm pretty old) But, we were complaining about them when we had them, because even we thought they were antiquated. But there was a cool Mecha game that we used to play on them.

a couple years ago i had an emulator on my PC to play C64 games. I had a whole wack of them! I played Jumpman, Commando, Exploding Fists, What was that car one (not Pole Position...better!).

Come to think of it, Summer Games/Winter Games would be pretty good for the Wii. Sounds like fun!!!

She's finally tall enough to not slow down our shopping. =)
Now both can be dropped off at the playroom and we can go shop or have a coffee.

Re: TV is dead, long live TV

maybe, but not really in Canada. There's no movies to speak of, and
the TV shows are very limited.

It is the way of the future, though, so look for it to take off in the
next few years. David Pogue just wrote an article about this: http://snipurl.com/2055z

I abandoned it for a long time, now I'm back giving it a second chance.
Twitter wins because most of people are there, but Pownce has many more functionality, is more complete.
;)

divconspiracy — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 18:26:02 -0000

hey, no problem! now that pownce is open and out of closed invites
only stage, I wonder if more people will join? I'm still on it, but I
don't really use it too regularly. Twitter seems to have won my
attention, for now, anyway.

Re: how to see all public posts on pownce

markingegno — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 14:58:07 -0000

That's juast what I was lookig for, thanks.
And are you still using pownce?

Re: Kids and gaming: life with a Wii

divconspiracy — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:52:01 -0000

Thanks for the comment! Rayman and the Ravin Rabbids... yeah, they played it
at a friend's place, and you're right it's a little violent. I actually
found the settings and the Gladiator theme kind of dark, especially for
kids. Not to mention cruelty to cows. :) From the looks of it, Rayman 2
isn't so dark, but I think I'll stay away from that at home for now.

Rentals are our friend, that way we can try it out and see if it's
appropriate or not, and how high the repeat playability factor is.

i really like rayman and the rabbid bunnies ... or whatever it's called... i just call it the bunny game. but it's a little violent so i wouldn't get it for your 3-5 year olds. I haven't really come across many games for kids with the wii. it's so much fun though isn't it?? :D

Ha ha, so true. It's those attitude adjustments that are so hard right
now, but slowly we're working on it!

And don't forget vodka. Lots and lots of vodka...LOL!

Sadly, the smarter kids are, the smarter mouths they get. No longer are these the days of "respect your elder" or "wait 'till your father gets home." Oy. My youngest has a mouth on her (connected to an incredibly smart brain - it all equals Asperger's when you tie in a few of her other problems).

Slowly but surely my 10 year old is hitting teen-dom. And the mouth and hormones. YIKES. But generally she's a respectful kid (and a Golden Child)...unfortunately on occasion they both need an attitude adjustment and a Come to Jesus meeting. That's just life.

I don't think it's anything we do "wrong" as parents. Kids are just...different these days. And some of it stems from being incredibly gifted.

Thanks K. I'm hoping to learn more CSS and maybe make my own Wordpress theme from scratch, but we'll see. Not sure I've got that much time right now! Thanks for the comments!

we're getting maybe 15cm tomorrow. Maybe more. Whee!! No school is cancelled snow yet, though. I'm still waiting for that one, it's been a few years...
