Oh man I'll have more cockroaches than a $20 hotel 

Work is kicking my butt right now, we are down a person but they seem to be close to hiring someone so hopefully it lets up soon.
I haven't played New Leaf in weeks...I can only imagine how many weeds I'll have when I finally log in.

@BLUEVOODU I don't have it yet, I just have New Leaf, however I did see that my local GameStop has it for $30, so maybe next payday.

I'm normally more of a metal fan, but I really like the Braid soundtrack, it's just so relaxing.

I liked Micromachines, also Lego, but I lived by a swamp and woods so we played outside a lot!
I liked the Weird Al Show lol I think it was only one season but it was hilarious.

It's pretty fun, we pay for a realm because we're neeerrrrrds haha.

Not yet, I've been traveling for work lately so not much time for gaming or online in general.

But re: being mayor, I spend my time planting pitfall seeds in front of the houses of residents I don't like lol

@BLUEVOODU yeah the oldest likes CoD and GTA, the middle one doesn't really game at all, and the younger one usually plays Minecraft with the toddler... It's cool they have Minecraft for mobile devices now.

@retro junkie yep!

The older kids said it was dumb, I didn't really get into it, I tend to not like games that push you to buy stuff but my youngest loves it.

@BLUEVOODU  there's an in game comm in ingress and you can see when portals are taken over by the other team. A few creepers on the other team were using it to stalk people on our team. One guy started threatening violence against us so we noped out...no game is worth getting shot over! The other team quickly realized that trying to play one sided isn't very fun, they ended up ostracizing that guy from their gruops and he finally ended up quitting.
Because in true Niantic style, they wouldn't ban him even with screenshots of him talking about "stray bullets".

@retro junkie  I added you, I have the smaller ds, not the xl so it has wifi connectivity issues at times. Makes for interesting playing, sometimes if I'm visiting another town I get a big NOPE error message and lose all my progress.

Friend code is 3368-7416-9772 and I have New Leaf only for now... Probably won't change in the near future since I have car insurance and kids school expenses coming up soon...ugh. not like I'd have time to play a different one anyway 😄

@BLUEVOODU I know it's possible, at least over wifi because my kid visits my town and then both our games crash haha... If i can find my code I'll post it up! I had like 50 pear trees but just cut half of them down because I got mad they weren't producing perfect fruit.

@BLUEVOODU yeah time flies...I was telling this kid at work about "the new Korn cd" and realized it came out over 10 years ago. Oops.

@AngelBob -- Isn't this the game that where it turns GPS locations into bases and what not.  You then have to take them over from other people?

It is. They're the ones who also co-developed Pokemon Go.

Those dang pokemon players *shakes fist* git off my lawn!!! Lol

@BLUEVOODU nowhere near as much as I used to lol...I started when it was still in beta in 2013. I basically played nonstop for a few years, but some local players on the other team started stalking people hardcore so I stopped playing for a couple years except at out of town events.
Thankfully the toxic players all quit or got banned, so now we have a much better community. We all got together for earth day this year and cleaned up like 850lbs of trash!
I try to go to at least one anomaly in a series, I have all the anomaly badges so far, which not a lot of players have achieved. I still haven't reached the top level 😄 but with kids it's hard to play as much as I used to.

This is probably a long shot, but if anyone else here plays Ingress, I will be at the Madison WI anomaly in a couple weeks!

I have New Leaf, I'll have to look for this one as well!

Fired up animal crossing tonight, I only had 60 some weeds 😆

@retro junkie  I will def look into one of those, thanks! Also thanks for the game suggestions, I will have to get the big kids to dig out their DSs so we can all blow each other up haha

@retro junkie  I still have my original wii, the version that plays Gamecube discs! The kids left it on overnight a few weeks ago and I threatened death and destruction if they ever do that again...

Up until a few years ago my snes still worked, but bit the dust finally. I got one of the newer systems that plays snes cartridges but the controllers kinda suck. I can't get up to 30 superjumps in Mario RPG with poor button response times lol.

@BLUEVOODU yeah he's got some great ones, this one cracks me up haha

This guy is one of my toddler's favorite musicians haha... I'm pretty sure he does Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as well.
Try Alestorm, nothing like pirate metal to get your day going!

My toddler used to be into 3ds animal crossing, but anymore they'd rather just play on their tablet lol..

I'll have to check out the retro section, it's nice being in a gamer forum where people don't just treat me like I'm some 80yo man hahaha

And yes, I know lol I'm not a huge gamer like most people, why I've just lurked and not posted before. I played my share of snes and atari back in the day...and intellivision haha. But anymore I don't have a ton of time so my gaming is pretty much Minecraft with my kid 😂

Oh man, I forgot about Animal Crossing! Maybe I can get them into that...

Other than Minecraft and Pokemon Go, any suggestions for kid friendly games that aren't incredibly boring that I can play with my kids?
