    Interesting, a boxing pro? Care to share any details?

    Re: Feel like ive had the tar beat out of me!

    My shoulders are still sore from playing a Wii for the first time Saturday night! Throwing punches and not landing on anything really messed me up!

    On the note of of video games...

    Ive never been a gamer, I think the last gaming consule I owned was a super nintendo. Anyhow, I was over at my brothers last night playing this came called Call of Duty on his Xbox 360 online. I loved the game, its based on WWII, the weapons are pretty accurate as far how they really looked and operated (big gun nut here), the game included real WWII footage, and overall was really fun to play.

    What disturbed me was how real it looked and how gory and graphic it was. Well that didnt disturb me as I'm an adult and can differentiate the difference between a game and real life (though the historical footage was kind of gory but still its history). What really disturbed me was the age of the kids playing this game. In online play you have a mic and can talk to and hear other people. Some of these kids were literally 10,11 and 12 years old. The game had a mature 18+ rating and VERY much deserved it, it was VERY gory (think D-day landing scene in saving Private Ryan for two hours straight). The way these ELEMENTARY aged kids talked and reacted while stalking and killing other "real" players online was down right creepy. Parents, watch what kind of games your kids are playing!

    Both my boys have been playing in a gaming Clan along with myself for the past 3 years or so...My youngest was 10 when he started and I believe he'll have no ill effects from playing these types of games. Both boys know the difference from game play and realistic type of violence that actually happened during wars themselves....If they have questions about the games they ask and I answer. I know it does help answer their questions, since I have a vast knowledge of the Military... But with proper adult care these kids playing these games will be just fine growing up.

    Man its not only guts and blood on these games. On many games the women are naked and or wearing see through clothing so you have to be careful with who is watching those games as well. One game (God of War) actually gave you more "orbs/energy for how many times you would make the women happy.

    I'm not a video game person myself, but we did get a WII for Christmas. I only have the games that came with it, but it's pretty fun. I haven't tried the boxing yet, but the tennis, bowling and golf are pretty fun. I don't think baseball is all that great, though.

    This takes place in a small fountain/pool right? I rember seeing a video of it but never played the game myself.

    Hope you didn't stay in the fountain/pool to long because you know what will happen.


    Of course the most vulgar series is the Grand Theft Auto set of games. What scary is it's always a best seller whenever a new one comes out. Any adult that would let a kid play that should be put behind bars for child abuse.

    Actually, it's after you beat the three headed serpent. Then you wander into a room on the ship....bump bump bump
