Gaming as a Parent - Introduction

Rodolfo from Consolebits.com writes:
I am a lifelong gamer - with 2 toddlers and a wife that absolutely hates gaming. It's tough to find time to game, but somehow manageable to write about the experience. Are there any other gaming parents out there?

I'm in the boat sinking next to you! Three boys sitting in the life boat over there, yea those are mine. Yes they are laughing at me.

Axonometri: Salutes you with a firm Naval hand to the forehead as he and his wreck of a ship gurgles it's last breath of air, slowly submerging beneath the sea of backlog.

Ahahaha thank you! You honestly just made my day! It's good to know that I am not alone and won't be the only one drowning in the backlog. I can't tell you how many of my friends have laughed at me that I have yet to play FF12 or never made it past the first hour or so of Metal gear Solid 3!

Axonometri4981d ago

Laugh away! (4 yr old playing Rayman Jungle Run next to me) "Can I play Son?... Son?... Where you going with that? HEY!"

rnmartinez4980d ago

Hahaha kids are the best.

mrbojingles4980d ago

The first game my niece fully beat was a Phineas and Ferb game for the Wii, but she is very close to beating Mario Galaxy. I'm going to be so proud of her when she does.

rnmartinez4980d ago

I'm waiting for the day. Right now my kids can't even clear a basic Mario level without help :-)

I would like to see more articles like this one. Great work!

rnmartinez4980d ago

Thanks - I hope this will become an entire (and long-running) series!

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi74d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer75d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot75d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno75d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay75d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno73d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK74d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
