I think there is a word for me.....

And it is "sucker" :D

Let me start off saying, I never had a Commadore or Amiga or TRS-80 computer (or an Apple II ___ either). Not for lack of wanting, but my Dad was busy launching rockets at the time and I think he thought they were all about games so we didn't get any? Or they were just too expensive?

But that translate too, I often feel like I missed a whole gaming something, never knowing why things are so BIG. Take the announcement of this new game available to buy, Giana Sisters by Bad Monkee. Apparently it was a knock off of Mario Bros. and Nintendo had it pulled wayyyy back when - assuring it instant cult status! LOL!!

I loved playing Super Mario Bros. on my brothers SNES. I'm ok admitting that to you guys, along with the fact that we had every level to Pitfall on the Atari 2600 mapped :D

SOOO, what does this mean? I'm going to have to buy this game. It is probably as close to Mario as we will get for a long time on the iPhone/Touch/Pad platform, and it looks fun in the video. Touch Arcade gave it a good first impression, so here I go.... sucker! LOL!!

Which isn't to say it is going to surpass my current obsession with playing Mile By Mile. Which I can manage to play when I wake up in the middle of the night and even win! They did a great job with that game - I'm moving it to my "don't touch" page of Apps!

The best part of it? Kid #1 likes playing and now will probably play the actual card game with me!! I won't however hit her up for a game at 2am, teenagers tend to be grumpy when awoken in the middle of the night.

I also think I just volunteered for some other duties via email, which is ok. I'm happy to help out and looking forward to that new adventure!!

And on the great To Do project, the solution we have in place is working well! That is a relief, I haven't heard "I can't find......" in 2 whole weeks! She has it all, right there in her hand. Does that mean I 1-upped my teen???? LOL!

I'm still scouring for Apps that are going to make the iPad just ROCK. One thing I realized is that if I had the Cadets sign up for O-Flights on it - I might actually be able to READ the stuff they write. Yahooooo!!!!!

OK, back to the reality of the day, Crazy Tuesdays!
