I’ve decided my first review for the “Busy Dads” (and moms) series, will be a game that sets the bar for pick-up-and-go gaming! Super Meat Boy! This game definitely isn’t news to many, but for those of you dads that haven’t had the time to keep up with every game that comes out, I’ll give you a brief overview before we dive in.
Babies are amazing! Being sleep deprived with a puke stain on your shoulder, and a baby finally sleeping after hours of bouncing and cooing, you’re probably not agreeing. But while your little frogger naps in his sleeper, you’re trying to figure out how the hell to get back into gaming.

Tonight, I had the pleasure of looking after my six year old nephew. I had my laptop sitting on the ottoman, and the background was a picture of Aerith, from Final Fantasy 7. To my enjoyment he asked “who’s that?”. I started explaining to him, and he asked me all sorts of questions about the game!

Of course I realize there are other ways of making a blog page, which are much easier. I just like learning how to do things from the beginning. So far this really is just a bunch of text, styled with css, and not really feature rich like most blog sites.
For example there is no comment section or any social media features, like sharing, or liking with facebook. Either way I plan to port all of my older posts from other sites to this page. In time I’ll have my blogs organized chronologically, and then work on adding other interfaces as well.

I’m back! Haven’t blogged in a while, and just wanted to post what I’ve been up to. Since our pong clone I’ve made two more games! I also changed the name of “pong” to “paddles”, just to be safe in the legal department.
Below is a blog I posted back in January of this year, before I started using WordPress for my blog. I think I’ve improved a lot since then…
