Χά�ων Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 So, what do you, the parent think? My thoughts: Better than the crap on Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I am not against...now there is a girl one Amy Lee...ughhhh she's annoying. Stampy seems ok. My kids can be obssessively watching those videos at times but they have pushed them to think beyond their understanding and attempt new things.

Moxie Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My boys love a guy named Magnus and one other guy. They annoy me only because my boys could literally live on the couch for days watching them. I get tired of being the TV cop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulycrabby Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 DS10 says he does not curse or say bad things, which is a plus from a parental standpoint. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My ds LOVED those and so did I up to a point. My caution is that they are very boring to me so I kind of tuned them out. They felt very safe. Then I heard him listening to one about a Hunger Games mod and another about a Bloods and Crips mod...... I did not ban my kid from the internet, but I did ban the internet from my kid. I posted on another parenting board about how horrified I was and how furious I was at myself for not supervising him better and the other (not-50 year old) parents didn't have a clue why I had my panties in a bunch over something that they just took for granted as part and parcel of raising a digital native, so maybe you feel the same way and that's okay. You're not going to change my calcified aging mind, though; ds is going to get a USB stick of pre-screened Stampy videos for Christmas if I can figure out how to get them legally and I don't mind paying for them to avoid what I don't think six year olds need to know about.

Guest Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yea, for tweens I think you could do a lot worse. I'm not sure if he has any pressed CDs I could buy or a download site with a PayPal link, but Stampy is a nice kid who enjoys sharing what he's learned with the world.

Slartibartfast Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My kids like VenturianTale. They play other things besides Minecraft Er...ok if people are going to be upset about Hunger Games then I ought to mention they play Skyrim and Gmod on their videos. They are more violent than Minecraft but they don't use inappropriate language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 DS10 says he does not curse or say bad things, which is a plus from a parental standpoint. :) My kids tell me that he used to use "bad words" but stopped when he found out his fan base was loads of kids. I think the worst he says now is hell, but he's British so I let it go. It just reminds me of Harry Potter. Bloody 'ell! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alte Veste Academy Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yep, from a Twitter announcement... https://mobile.twitter.com/stampylongnose/status/419456917182754817 No swearing in our videos since 2012. When we started we didn't realize we would get so many young viewers. Sorry. 6:14am - 4 Jan 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex-bex Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My DS10 has just gotten into Stampy. He is in loooooooove. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My kids all love Stampy and Squid (iBallisticSquid). *I* like him, too. He's funny and clean and he comes up with some fun ideas for playing in Minecraft that my two older kids then try to copy in their own "worlds". We even bought the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly which has an article about him in it. I think he's a great guy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punks in Ontario Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My guys love Stampy and Squid too. I've never been able to sit down and listen to the guy for long. I find him annoying. We are currently on a Stampy break - maybe until the guys forget about him. Maybe not. I found they were spending so much time watching minecraft they stopped building.

Guest Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Here's a bit more about Stampy: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-26327661 and I haven't found pressed DVDs or downloads, but there is a book: http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Stampy-Cat-Minecraft-StampyLongNose-ebook/dp/B00M8PLIYM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407060349&sr=8-1&keywords=stampylonghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Χά�ων Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 No complaint about a book. Ds loves Minecraft books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegs Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 My DS loves Stampy and Squid too. He even wanted to call himself Stampycat on minecraft, and calls all his worlds "(DS)' Lovely World". I even have one called "(Pegs)' Lovely World". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherLinda Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 My daughter and nephew have a few minecraft videos. They don't use inappropriate language. :) They are a couple of homeschoolers just having fun. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGdz8ElA34k7e39AaH2LNcXITF6_YOEbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Χά�ων Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Speaking of Stampy the dog is sitting on the couch watching the laptop like she knows exactly what is happening on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I've created ds' private YouTube account, firefox profile, and installed parental controls; I'm working on it! ;) I don't want to be such a mean mommy, but my digital native is only six and I don't think he needs to know that the bloods & crips or hunger games exist! It would be so much easier if I could just throw money at the problem and buy age appropriate DVDs/downloads that somebody else had already screened. Stampy and Squid are great guys, they just never imagined they'd be so popular with such tiny kids. Books are good too, but at $2.99 apiece I couldn't wait until Christmas; I'm having enough trouble waiting until ds wakes up. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
