Ramblings in a State of Insanity
Friday Question!
Maybe someone on my friend’s list can answer this:
I have a four year old with a super active imagination, lots of dolls and stuffies. She is starting to get the hang of consistent rules and rulesets. What games — board games and rpg games — do you recommend for a little poo?

To (Addison, fade), Eric pages: I am declaring a scene! It is time for John to learn about Heroin. You paged (Eric, fade) with ‘YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.’. You paged (Eric, fade) with ‘Oh wait. Heroin is bad.’. You paged (Eric, fade) with ‘BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.’. (Fiasco is this totally awesome game by Jason Morningstar you should totally buy and
Your Daily Katie Rose

Work is killing me today so to lift my spirits (and the spirits of all) I offer the Daily Katie Rose. On another thought, I am somewhat tempted to start up a blog thread just on “stuff Katie says.” The popular one today is: PROTONS ARE CUTE! IT’S SO FLUFFY! Share:

Quick update: Katie desperately wants to start writing her highly elaborate stories. She has characters! Plots! Chapters! Only one problem…. She doesn’t know how to spell the words yet. Reading she has down cold. Basic sentence structure, sure. Spelling not so much. So we’re spending hours with her asking me to spell words and then
Spurned by the Berenstein Bears

From somewhere, Katie acquired a copy of a Berenstein Bears book. She has lots of books. They come from everywhere. It ought to be pretty non-confrontational stuff — bears go to school, bears meet some bear conflict, bears resolve conflict through bear family unity. But no! When I read the book to Katie yesterday evening,
RAR T-Rex!

At Art Weekend 2010, I started working on the Knit Picks Critter Mitts T-Rex hand puppet. What better use for yarn is there but making awesome toys? Sure you can make socks and gloves and sweaters but you can also make hand puppets! The first one came out well. He has a little ridge of
A Minor Victory

I have been fighting to get Katie interested in longer stories (books) for a year and a half now. This effort has been met with limited success: the world is full of too many interesting things to sit still for a story, even at night when winding down for bed. She is just too wiggly.
Pokemon: Heart of Gold

On the way back from PAX East I beat the mostly mediocre but still playable Galactrix on my Nintendo DS* and suddenly needed a new game. I had a choice: 1. 1 $60 Final Fantasy XIII game for Xbox360 2. 2 $30 Pokemon carts for the DS, one for me and one for KR. Thus

1. I have no idea if LJ has fixed their interface for cross-posting yet. It was broken as of last week. 2. Eric corrected me: you can still buy a regular hard-drive click-wheel iPod. They are available on the Apple site. 3. We did more experiments with the iPad and found, with a MiFi, it
Echo Bazaar

A few of us are playing Echo Bazaar, a cute web-based card and social grind game. Most of the gameplay is spent grinding up stats ala Kingdom of Loathing but it has some interesting small arc-like plots and a large story-arc “Ambition” for the character to reach new levels and “do” something. We keep coming

Attention K-Mart Shoppers! We will officially be attending PAX East in Boston! We are leaving on the evening of the 25th and arriving on the 26th at the hotel adjoining the convention center and then leaving on the morning of the 29th. I have already spoken to a few of you about our possible arrival but

Sorry!
Barrel of Monkeys

Chicken Cha Cha Cha (This is a new one, but we got it for my nephew and it was well received)
There is apparently a Carcasonne for kids, and I can see no way that is not awesome.

Funagain.com has a whole kids section broken down by ages, so if you want to experiment with wacky german games, lots of options there too.
