Last week I went on vacation to Alabama. We have a lot of relatives there and I like to visit them whenever we can. We did a lot of things on this trip and I took a lot of pictures, so I wanted to share them with you all! On day 2 we went to Talladega to see the race track and car museum!

Icons
Posted on February 28th, 2010 by
I was sitting here thinking about the iconic games in gaming. Not the most important games, not even the pivotal games, but the most “iconic” of their era. The games you think of when you think of THAT console or THAT time period in gaming. Here’s my list, in rough order: Pong, Space Invaders, Battlezone, Donkey Kong, Zork, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros, Dragon’s Lair, Gauntlet, Tetris, Street Fighter 2, Doom, Civilization, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario Kart, TecmoBowl/Madden, Halo, Grand Theft Auto 3, Wii Sports…. and?
Jenny & the Giant – Chapter III
Posted on February 28th, 2010 by
When not playing video games for work, being a stay-at-home parent, loving up my wife and caring for the house – I have a dream. My dream is to become a beloved Children’s Book writer. Here’s a sequel to Jack & the Beanstalk, my first book. PLEASE comment! I have a thick skin. I plan to post at least the first three chapters here’s Chapter III: Signed: A Foe. So, here goes, this one is for the 6-12 year olds out there: – Andrew S.Bub (all rights reserved)
State of the Heart – A Favor

Please do me a favor: Use your email, your MySpace, your Friendster, your FaceBook to relay this message. It sounds cheap. It should maudlin. It sounds too easy. But there is one very important thing I learned from my near-death experiences of 2.5 years ago. (I had a several major heart attacks and a pulmonary embolism back in 2006 at the age of 36.) What I learned from this is that people should be more honest. Honestly praise each other, find strengths and single them out. Don’t hold back. Don’t do this out of love or charity, do it because insecurity is the biggest waste of time and life there is. Do it because you will change lives. You will improve people. Do it honestly, don’t lie, but do it. It costs you nothing and could make someone become what they should be. Please spread this message. I want this to go viral. Thank you.
I don’t dislike Bioshock 2

Really, I don’t, I’m just having a hard time getting excited about playing it. I loved the first one, with it’s unique setting, compelling gameplay and Ayn Rand meets dehumanized apocalypse story – but I feel like I’m dine with Rapture. This isn’t normally the case with sequels if games I like. I hear it gets awesome near the end but I think i’m going to have a hard time getting there. Knee jerk I’d say this is bloody enough for 15+ but conservatively, go with the rating of M-mature. Anyone played further? Please comment. Yours beneath the waves – Big GamerDaddy
You’ve Given Me a GTA Headache
Posted on February 14th, 2010 by
JARED, A “DAD” ASKS: My 9 year old son wants grand theft auto iv or grand theft auto ballad of gay tony for xbox 360. I want to know if the game is so bad for my son. I let him play games like x-men origins wolverine uncaged and prototype and saw and halo 3 and left 4 dead and call of duty. Also I got him gta chinatown wars for his dsi and he tells me its not bad. My son always tells me that it’s not bad it’s all fake. I take him to see movies like the friday the 13th remake and halloween 2 and watchmen and zombieland and my bloody valentine. Would the gta games be so bad for him?
Reading Early Bright
Posted on February 11th, 2010 by
I believe strongly in helping my fellow authors and I believe even more strongly if the book in question is from an author I knew back in College (and whom I thought was cute) and I’m in a position to help. I will help. This is a parent/game site and this book has nothing to do with, still, consider finding a copy of Ami Silber’s Early Bright. The more they sell, the more likely we’ll hear from this author again. Go, buy one, read it, GamerDad asked you as a favor! Read on for a review – not by me:
