Really Great Video Games

subtitle: For Kids and Families As the pioneer gaming/website expert on gaming and children, I was actually happy when I saw CommonSenseMedia.org launch. It gave nonprofit legitimacy to this GamerDad vision I had, and that was personally very satisfying. Well, I worked for them for a while and lo and behold my name appears in the acknowlegements. Potentially there are scores of reviews written personally by your own GamerDad. The book: Really Great Video Games has hundreds of reviews at your fingertips. Bring on the royalties, right?

 

Yep!

Bring on the royalties! Whoooo! We could use the extra scratch and . . . what? The contract says they only have to pay me once for those reviews. Not when they get reprinted. Sigh. At least it’s a resume point. Yet another book the GamerDad has made just a little bit more useful and better.I’d love to send you a link but I can’t find it on sale anywhere?  It is priced a $9.95. It really does exist, or at least if it doesn’t, then they sent me a HUH? WAH? Oh NO! This isn’t a book at all it’s a Mario bomb-omb?  No, it’s actually pretty 

useful. If some of my old colleagues are still in that Ivory Tower – please let me know how my fans can buy your book. K? Thx!

  1. *brain explodes*

  2. This kind of reminds me of myself raiding my old GC collection looking for good games for a 5 year old. It’s for my neighbor and he has a wii, but only mysims and mario kart so I wanted to show him some good games and let him borrow them so he doesn’t grow up on halo and stuff (because that’s inevitable in 7 years). So far he’s borrowed donkey konga and sonic mega collection from me. There’s just something about retro games and kids that just work together. Maybe because I grew up on them.

  3. That’s actually a 5/8/6, which isn’t technically a haiku.

    Try this:

    Toad throws the Bomb-omb
    After picking up a Star:
    Rampant destruction
