Miles has a point

Always easier to see the speck of sawdust in your friend’s eye than to notice the 2×4 in your own.

Video games develop hand to eye coordination, improve your cognitive skills and make kids into better human beings.

Lesson: “Do what Tauhid tells you to do.”

That is totally the same thing, Kevin! How many do you need to kill yourself doing untested bike stunts before enough is enough?

I’ve been playing video games since 1974’s pong and still do. Hand/eye coordination is still good for my age

Lesson: Make sure your game isn’t hacked

The lesson is don’t do anything that could risk you into getting turned into a zombie

The zombies may have been cured, but it seems that brains are still in short supply.

That was one day? ha-ha. It was quite a long day!

Had our power knocked out in a storm Monday, just got it back about an hour ago. Had a lot of catching up to to do here. I kind of know how Miles feels.

Maybe the third time’s the charm? Should he break his arm again.

I remember a Wild Tangent snowboarding game. Once you learned how to do tricks (hit a certain key and then mash the arrow keys, if I recall correctly) at the jumps, it was glorious. There was a very enthusiastic announcer saying the name of the trick, sort of a glowing trail from your board, and the sound effect of points added was very satisfying.

In more recent years, my brother and I had a ton of fun with a modern snowsports game with crisp graphics (Steep, I think it’s called). Lots of cool things you can do, but we laughed so much at the ragdoll physics when you crash.

We all know he broke his arm once. It happened in may 2019. Don’t know when the second time was though.

It was Hannah who turned him into a literal zombie. Playing video games only makes you a figurative one
