This actually looks kind of badass.
-
I can see where they'd be cool, but how much $$ are they going to be and it's yet another controller laying around my living room in order to play Wii games. I sort of liked it better when it was just the plain old wiimote, not a closet full of accessories.

The pitcher balked.
-
That looks really gimmicky except for being able to play some games on it instead of the TV
-
I actually think it would be really cool for the Fit. You can do a lot of that stuff without a full TV.

I'll join the skeptics, voices here. I'm not sure how much I can kook up and down when I play...

I generally don't care much about grammar, spelling, punctuation, or sentence structure in here (hi Jen), but that was awesome Kerm.

This iPad keyboard is taking some time to get used to :)

The auto correct will get you often. I so wish you could get swype on the iPad.
-
I just got an Infuse and swype is the shit
-
My bad not the infuse, it's the Galaxy S aka Mesmerize
-
Its big draw is asymmetric gameplay. Imagine a D&D game where the
Dungeon Master uses the tablet, while the other nerds use the the
screen + wiimotes. Cheez could probably explain it better since he's
a level 9 dwarf barbarian.

There's only the balance board that's an additional
controller. This new controller will replace the classic
controller altogether.
I think the wiimote still gets used. They used in the golf demo.

It is - but microsoft is doing the same thing with XBox, and they're going to let me use my ipad, iphone, ipod, or android device instead of buying somethign new...
-
for my first round pick, I select sega genesis.
-
Yes?
-
Isn't the Wii U an add on? It costs extra money doesn't it? just like Kinect?
Any why wouldn't M$ incorrporate accellerametors that are in every smartphone?
-
Yea....but Wii U isn't even multitouch....
-
I heard that someone is crying here?
-
No love from the reviews....

Never had one. I'm good.

The DS is alright, gets boring fast unless you are a six year old.
Wii U looks gay
-
Waiting to pre-order the Wii U for my kid
-
Yea he wanted a 3DS and his "father" got him a stupid DSI with our money so he could keep the rest. He thinks dad is awesome now so of course Steve is making sure come Christmas he gets the Wii U (if i can get one by then), a .22 rifle, his first dirtbike, and misc nonsense.
Cuz im the shit

Nothing better than makin it rain a d buying love...

A Wii U, a riffle, and a dirt bike in a single x-mas? Holy shit can you be my dad too?
-
That's what I'm saying! I got a list too Steve!
-
Yeah me too. Can I have a fancy cell phone?
-
Yeah me too. Can I have a fancy cell phone?
He has a friggen HTC Hero :rofl2:
I'm not buying love i have plenty of that. This is two things:
for him - he has never had a GOOD Christmas, ever. Dad is a POS. Our first Christmas together was better than his previous ones, last year his dad filed the court shirt and took him literally the day before. So yea.
for me - Dad fucking hates me and he is the guy who makes empty promises to get things like that knowing he cannot fill them. So I get a great amount of joy in the FB pictures that make it back to grandmom (his mom) that i know he eventually hears about.
-
sounds like a healthy relationship.
-
Yea....I got nothing....I mean I do...but I don't have the energy to type it.
-

Him and I have a very healthy relationship. He calls me Dad, draws me in the family pictures, confides in me about stuff, etc. I have been his only father for years when he barely had his dad around prior to that. The 8 months he spent with his biological father was really hard on him because Dad kept telling him negative falsifications about his mom and telling him he wasn't going to see her again, etc. So honestly we are closer than ever.
As for his dad and I, we have limited face time and when we have I always take the high road for the kids sake. The past he and Ashley share is not my business, and I don't wish to expel pointless energy to say things that will fall on deaf ears anyway. The only time I lost my cool was in the court house in January when they ordered that he had to stay in MI with his dad for the duration of the trial. It was BS as you guys already know and he smirked at Ashley and said "take that bitch" and I lost it. Not because he called Ashley a bitch, I don't care she can handle herself. I lost my cool because my son is not a tool to be used for his war and he did a lot of damage like i knew at the time he would.

Yea - but is revenge on a man who is now out of the picture really a good reason to throw the world at the kid for xmas? Especially when I know you're not in the most stable $ situation right now.
I promise you, he is 5, he can have a spectacular xmas without giving him the world. Sounds like just being with you all will go a long way towards that.
BTW - You might want to consider having a conversation with his school guidance counselor, teacher, or an outside teacher about what's been going on just to see if they have any suggestions or to give them a heads up. Always helps to open the communication door yourself first. Can discuss more if you want here or via phone.

He isn't completely out, unfortunately. As for the finances, they will be in a great situation come November.

7. I'm expecting the Dad and that family to try and use the holidays as another opportunity to try and fuck with his mind. I have other plans besides presents, I'm not trying to buy loyalty or anything just want him to finally have a GOOD Christmas. The Rifle and the Bike go to the bonding activities we do as a family, that is their main purpose.

I did. I got him enrolled in school and the same day sat down with his counselor and teacher together and went over everything in pretty great detail. He started Monday and before his first day I was already on an email re pour with his teacher.
And God don't get him a rifle
Why? I got him a BB gun a while ago and taught him gun safety and discipline, gave him supervision and instruction on proper shooting and technique, and he is very good with it. The next logical progression is a .22 rifle.
-
Good man. Still not totally with you on all those gifts, but good man on opening communication with the school. That helped your kid.
-
Was worried that given your occasional "paranoia" that you wouldn't :D.

I always take the high road
so being passive aggressive by hoping to make the other guy feel bad because of the stuff you get your kid is any better. I think that if you really want to take the high road, you should make your kid understand the situation he is in and how what is the proper way he should behave. I'm sure it is easier said then done, but doing things like you described several posts up will never help. just my $.02

HA! No it is important that they understand. When he was with dad he started stealing from class mates. Went from a straight A perfect student to a failing, stealing, bad attitude student.
The biggest thing he was scared of when he got caught was he begged everyone who found out not to tell me, because he was ashamed of me knowing. So I used that in a positive manner to rectify the issue over the summer and in his first week he seems to be on the right track, where he was previously.
There is a large difference in education between there and here, our schools are statisitcally ahead of those where he was previously. The classes up north were never hard enough for him and they kept trying to say he had ADD. They gave him some tests here to see where his education level was and he tested at a third grade level (he is 2nd). They said if his grades stay high through the year they may test him at the end of the year and see if he needs 3rd grade.

I have done all that, I'm blessed with a very smart and responsible son. Taking the high road is just being the best Dad I can and not putting his father down or getting into it with his father when he tries to push me to it. Giving him a great Christmas is about him, and I'm thankful I can do that. The byproduct of it pissing off his dad is just a plus.
-
I pre-ordered one today through Best Buy :D
-
Deluxe. I actually wanted two, but they only allowed one. I even tried to get one basic and one deluxe, they weren't having it. I got woken up by my phone and it was a email from BB telling me they were open so I called them right then and there. The lady told me they were already getting reports of the phone lines being tied up and the website crashing. If my phone didn't wake me up I probably would have been SOL.
