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.

Amiibo Morning
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.

Episode 147 Notes: In Hearthstone Getting Pwned
Earthbound Attack
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.
Episode 146 Notes: Hold My Beer
Shelling Out Punishment
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.

Mario Maker Official Trailer
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.
