2nd clue: the name of this model is the same as that of an 80's video game

Now you can tell your parents, that they were wrong about you wasting your time playing silly video games
Thats funny because my Dad used to ride me all the time when I was young about playing computer games or just playing with computers in general. (He was a blue collar worker and could barely figure out how to turn one on so I dont think he understood.) Fast forward 25 years and now I manage a government IT contract. To bad he never got to see me prove him wrong. Oh well lolThank you!

Nice Defender! Have fun with it! What upgrades are you planning on getting?

It's running very well as is, so I'm not sure if its really necessary, at this point. Certainly some cosmetic bling to sharpen up it's looks.

Haha sounds like me with my son right now on his Xbox. The big difference today is that the players are interacting with one another without having to be actually in the same room. I suppose even though he's by himself, he's still socializing with his peers. He does sound like he's having a fun time as well, so I suppose I could cut him some slack.Id like to think so

Honestly for me, my main concern for children and teens is just are they getting equal parts exercise with their computer time. I say that because having been obssessed with computers and electronics most of my life I didnt get enough of the former and now I'm a hair from 50, fat, witha couple health issues I wouldnt have had if Id been as active in sports as I was at computers and gaming. Of course I'm trying to make changes these last few years but I should have been more physically active as a kid and young adult so i wouldnt have ended up with these issues in the first place.
My dad let me slide on the physical activity side but one thing he didnt let me slide on was my grades in school so I guess thats also equally important. Funny how life changes as we get older

My son spends a lot of time on his Xbox, but he's an honor student and a very good soccer player. So, can't really justify giving him much flack.Honestly for me, my main concern for children and teens is just are they getting equal parts exercise with their computer time.

Sounds like you got it under control Dad!
