I’ve blogged in the past about using Pokemon to get a child resistant to reading to start reading. It seems I’m not the only one who thinks gaming can get kids to read.
Often, when you try to encourage a child to read, all they can think about is reading in class, where they might be […]
Okay…February is behind us. Physically, I’m feeling a lot better. Mentally…lock up your silly string. *grin*
I thought I’d try to get this week off on the right foot by actually sharing some links with you. (This is funny because I consider Sunday the beginning of my blogging week, but the end of my work week.)
You […]
Queen Elizabeth II is quite the woman. Well traveled, fluent in French, an avid photographer. She’s also sat for a holographic portrait, sent emails even before it was common to do so…
…and apparently, she enjoys playing the Nintendo Wii.
How cool is that?
For Christmas, my roommates gave me a couple of DS games. One of them, knowing how much I enjoyed Brain Age, got me Brain Age 2.
The Brain Age series are among a growing number of games designed to keep your mind fit with all sorts of puzzle and word games, and Brain Age 2 is […]
About a month ago, I came home from an off night at work (not like there’s any other type of night at work any more) and found my living room crowded. Before i had a chance to really process the scene in front of me, my roommate asked, “Want to be the singer in my […]
Due to the Wii shortage, Nintendo started reducing the number of Wii ads in the UK. A smart move on Nintendo’s part, but it left me wishing they’d take the DS ads off the air here. I find them offensive.
If you haven’t seen these few ads running on television, they feature boys and girls playing […]
The d20, or the twenty-sided die, is well-known to gamers. This little bundle of joy has helped many a gamer take down insignificant creatures and get squashed into the afterlife by really big monsters. Gamers tend to have something of a love-hate relationship with this die as a result. Most of the ones I […]
It’s snowing for the second time this month. When I moved to Seattle, I was told not to expect much in the way of snow because it never snows here. Yet every single winter that I’ve lived here,, it’s snowed. In fact, it’s snowed enough to cause me to miss at least one day of […]
Here on this fourth day of NaNoWriMo, I have nearly 20,000 words, slightly sore wrists, and just a few links.
The first is going to be added to my “Things to avoid during November” list. Someone has created a Zork-like version of Pac-Man. I played both games when I was a kid. I started playing it […]
No quotes this week, but I did manage to save a few links for your viewing pleasure!
Let’s start with DM of the Rings, which I’ve barely started reading. It’s essentially what would happen if the LotR novels had been an actual D&D game (with the understanding LotR was a major influence on the creation of […]
