		<description>Great post! Now, give me the secret to curbing video game addictions-- I feel like I&#039;m invisible when J&#039;s PS3 is on. :(
I love that Tyler was counting along, just as you did. One of those heart-flutter moments :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m getting a flash of the future....  Tyler and Joe fighting over who gets to have &quot;controller #1&quot;, fighting over what game to play, fighting when one whoops the other.  Why do I need to have another kid?  I&#039;ve already got two.

		<description>I loved those old Atari games, remember Kaboom fondly. I don&#039;t know how I feel about video games for kids. They&#039;re part of life, but when do they start playing? Dunno.

		<description>We were just at Chuck E. Cheese last night for Kora&#039;s birthday and they have this awesome game where you throw little plastic balls at the screen and try to hit mummies or ghosts, or knock apples off a tree etc. The kids loved it and so did the parents. Games have come so far it&#039;s amazing!  I used to think Pong was fun.</description>

		<description>I still enjoy playing the original Nintendo or Playstation myself. All of these new systems are too hard for me. Yes, pretty sad. My teenager doesn&#039;t stand a chance against me in the old ones, the new ones are another story!</description>

		<description>When my gamer son was filling out a college app, it asked him what he spent the money he earned from his job on, and he answered games.  I&#039;m sure that is exactly what Berkley is looking for.  At least he&#039;s honest.

		<description>The video game evolution passed me up the past 10 years.  Unless I dedicate countless hours to get a smidgen as good as my 14YO, I get the crap kicked out of me when I play him.

Which is why I bought him a couple &quot;classic&quot; games for the PS2 a few years ago.  I whooped him good.

He doesn&#039;t play those games anymore.
