Dana Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 We're on the cusp...trying hard to locate a PS3 250 (also for the purpose of streaming Netflix). I have a feeling we'll have to hold ourselves back. We're not huge TV people (we have our shows but don't watch and watch and watch), but one reasons I HAVEN'T agreed to a gaming system is because I was afraid we'd all become addicted to it! Now that Netflix has streaming video through the Wii, that may be an easier way to go. You can count Wii Fit as exercise too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver0f10 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Runescape. That's all I'll say. Except that I have a farming cape and a quest cape. And yes, everyone in the house plays it. Even the cat would playt if he could figure out how...... I am a Runescape widow :lol: Most of my older kids play too. I am the only non gamer lol.

Crissy Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm not a gamer, and neither is my husband. We've tried to join the boys in play, but we're terrible. :blushing: Our boys love their game systems, though. Over dinner the other night my husband was relating a conversation he had with Reggie Fils-Aime (President/CEO of Nintendo USA), but he pronounced his last name wrong. Our older son corrected him and we smiled at each other. Jeffrey rolled his eyes and said, "I know. I'm a game geek!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I just got Wii Fit Plus for Mother's Day. We've all been enjoying it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kym Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Ahhh....I love these forums! Another gamer family here. Dh and ds are addicted to Halo 3, dds love Rock Band, and I am more into the computer games like Zoo Tycoon. UGH! It's SO addicting! Oh. And Webkinz. Dd10 and I have extended conversations daily about that site! I'm as addicted as she is. Thank you all for making me feel so....normal! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 We have a Wii and we love to play as a family! I grew up with games from Atari to Wii, and I am not crazy or lazy lol. Our kids are in no way addicted to tv or games. Some days I have to threaten them with extra chores just to get them to watch a movie and let me finish what I am doing lol. My boys have gotten better with hand eye coordination, thinking quickly, coming up with a strategy by playing the Wii! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 When I was single I was. I spend a fair amount of time doing it too. Since becoming a parent, I feel I have more important things to do with my time. Maybe I'll go back to it when my DD goes off to college.
