As you can see if I have a cat picture to feature, I go and schedule them for Caturday. 😉
That being said, Lady Grey decided to both help and hinder me during a session of online Mario Kart with TJ, his girlfriend, and his best friend. Those clips are probably a long time coming to Monk of Mists, but the highlight reels will be here sometime.
In the meantime, we can all stop and admire Lady Grey after she decided to not continue blocking my view.

Because I was… otherwise occupied all the other kids suggested I join them for a game of Among Us while holding the sleeping Fireball the other day.
I’m glad it’s out on the Switch so it’s easier to do that.

So before I get started, where the crap have I been? Well, after that last post on 11/16/18 I ran out of pictures and time to post anything more. The joys of helping run a family during the holidays. It’s been a rough couple of months.
I mean, it’s taking me almost a month to get to looking at this tweet we’ll get to into a moment.
Now, if you don’t follow this guy’s blog about gaming yet, I’d highly recommend heading his way. You can find him over at Adventure Rules.
So this challenge was to pull five games from five different generations (and challenge five people, which I’ll leave alone).
A tweet wouldn’t do my response justice, hence why I’m here.
You want generations of gaming? I’ve got generations of gaming.
Let’s get started!
As a gamer dad, naturally the kids want to copy what I’m doing. Each has had their own preferences as the console generations move on.
Christmas brought a few more amiibo and the really cool amiibo display steps (the 3D chess board on the right is our other display).
We haven’t jumped hugely into the amiibo scene, but we have grabbed the characters of significance for us, and that’s the important thing for me on the amiibo collection front.

One Christmas a long time ago my cousin and I both got Earthbound for Christmas.
It was a big, weirdly shaped box since inside was not only the game itself but a player’s guide.
It’s why I’m so happy to report that I’ve managed to get the Ness amiibo and add him to the Mario Party characters I’ve managed to secure.
I am not a crazy amiibo collector. I don’t “need” to “catch them all” as it were. I just go for those characters that hold special emotional significance.
So we start out with Redflare landing on Little Miss’ green shell… and then immediately getting revenge.
After that Redflare enjoys hammering poor TJ with red shell after red shell.
It just wasn’t his day.

So while my reaction to another WoW expansion is a bit low Nintendo raises my hopes in gaming by delivering unto us a wonderful trailer of nostalgia.
I really look forward to the levels my children subject me to and that I in turn get to torture them with.
