DUNGEON MAYHEM: The Gateway Game to DnD
I love any game that encourages enthusiasm and imagination in our children. Hell, I love any game that encourages that in ME!! But since I am such a big kid at heart, I consider myself an easy convert. The spawnlings, on the other hand, are a tougher group to impress. […]
Minecraft and Villager Farming
I think I am the only person in the EG family who does not play Minecraft. *Quick headcount… not counting Zaltu, since she is only three years old and still mastering Diego’s Dinosaur Adventure on the Wii* Yep. I’m the only one. So when I walk into the bedroom and […]
Indoor Play Centre Hell
I have been bribed into Indoor Play Centre Hell. Nefarious was invited to a classmate’s birthday party at an indoor play centre: multi-level playground with soft-fall mats, trampolines, rock climbing walls… A kid’s dream! And a parent’s nightmare!! So noisy! So crowded!! I am down with the Mother of All […]
Do Your Spawnlings Wear Sunglasses?
I recently did a review on some sunglasses over on GeekMom. To be completely honest, I was really wary about sunglasses purchased online. Now I’m convinced with quality of lens and frames, and my enhanced ability to avoid shopping centres (the 12th level of Hell).
Run Mario Run!
For the first time, Mario will be available on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. Watch a whole bunch of geeky parents find an even easier way to bring their spawnlings into the fold.
Too Many Monkeys in the Political Circus
It is going to be a long day, while the world waits for the outcome of the US election. It’s easy enough if you’re outside the US to claim “not my circus, not my monkeys”, but let’s be honest. The President of the United States is pretty influential over the […]
Improv is Resilient
We all want the best for our kids. To be happy; To be smart; To be healthy; To be educated. The latest buzzword in parenting is “resilient”: we all want our kids to survive. Because in life, when you get knocked down, you need to get up again – swinging. […]
International Tabletop Day 2016
I like it when ‘big dates’ fall on the weekends – means less time explaining to disinterested teachers and more time focused on another level of education for the Spawnlings. Seriously, who can’t see the benefits of Tabletop? 30 April is now THE day for some gameplay. So bring out […]
Evil Genius Parent Tool #9 – Special Event Freebies
Every now and then, I receive an invite to some special promotional event. Some new book launch, a celebration at the local comic book store, card game tournaments at the game shop. Whatever the event, if it is geeky enough and of benefit to our ‘world domination plans’, then I’ll […]
