[kj] KJ in my videogame

[ade]

So you're keeping a happy medium with her viewing - nice one. Of course, I'm quite happy for them to
mess about on the PC as they can only get at kids sites. They're playing those flash-based adventure
games now (Crimson Room, et al), which is all about puzzle solving, not that they realise ;)
 
Mobiles! Hmmm... frightening!

I never had that stuff in my room but it was a different world then. Multi-media is so much more a part of everyday life now and you can't or shouldn't hide from it. By the same token, you shouldn't go completely overboard with it. We've got a TV in my 2-year old daughter's room. It really only gets used in the morning. She can watch Dora the Explorer while she drinks her milk or juice. The real issue i'm worried about is a cell phone. When does she get one? 12? 6? Her 3rd birthday?

Why do parents put that shit in kids rooms? Tellies, consoles, etc, etc. Mental.

ive met the rasta who makes GTA. A quiet unassuming guy training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu who was very perturbed when i told him i noticed a great improvement in my sons behaviour when i stopped him playing the game after removing his console from the room after a bout of unreasonable behaviour.

yeah, well... I'm over 30 and I still play them... having said that...

I was playing tonight the latest GTA4 (Grand Theft Auto) on my Playstation3 and as soon as I headed into one of the game's strip joints this song struck me with familiarity... due to it being so out of the blue it took me quite a while to recognize it... fuck me, it's Killing Joke! what surprised me even more was the fact that it wasn't any of their new stuff, it was Turn to Red... gotta say, fitted the mood perfectly...
