He's exhausted from a hard day's trading... :)

Hmm - and yes, I'm aware of the misplaced apostrophe. I didn't make the image, lol! ;)

Reminds me of when my son was little. He used to sit on my lap like that when I was playing Doom. (Yes, I am that old. He's in his 20s now)

And he'll emergently evolve over time too, invest carefully in him and you'll have a copilot who'll fetch you a cup of tea in about a decade!

Both of my daughters were like that. Long sessions of Doom, Unreal, various RPGs like Bard's Tale, etc... I used to have a spare keyboard I'd put in my lap and let them bang on like they were playing with me :D

When they got older, I'd play Diablo 2 with them with a couple of computers networked together. I even used to play World of Warcraft with my youngest (both of them are in their 20's too) not long ago. Many hours of quality time spent with the kiddos playing games like that.

Now the youngest one has two daughters of her own. I'm looking forward to doing the same thing with them. :D

Nice. reminds me of my son. Unfortunately he is now in his twenties, playing ED, and trying to find me in the galaxy so he can "burn" me. So I now have a Grand son on my lap, so the circle can continue.

Awesome. My eldest is 4 and my youngest is, well, 2 weeks lol (hence not much game game ATM).

Am going to wait until summer and then I'm going to buy my son a NES with a Mario and Mario cart. Start him on his gaming pilgrimage.

As it is he'll often sit and watch me play elite- sometimes 'helping' by pressing the secondary fire on my joystick. If you're ever in a dogfight with me, and my evasion seems erratic....MIT means my sons helping lol.

Really looking forward to when I can play cooperatively with them and I see it as a great way to bond and later, to keep in touch when they move out.

Gaming dads(and moms) FTW.

Yeah, this is my "youngest of three". Eldest is 5, middle one is 3. This little chap is 1. :-D

*proud dad*

Hah!
MY wife took the photo (and made the image above) and I've just noticed that she put the apostrophe in the wrong place.

Ohhhh the shame.... :D

My son is 6 and insists on "helping" me. He takes the keyboard and is responsible for landing gear and frameshift drive.

Starocates.... You've a braver man than I lol.

As it stands my son has been responsible for little friendly fire incidents... Can't imagine he pinball action if he got hold of boost as I were docking lol!!

Uh-oh. I bet docking is a thrill-fest for you! Lol!

Nope, he is actually helping! He knows when to deploy the gear and I don't need to take my hands of the HOTAS. The same with FSD. He even remebers to check for heat when I was scooping before jump, something I tend to forget.

Don't have the patience for kids. It's good some people do otherwise humanity would die out, lmao. Gimme a cat, or a dog; or perhaps a Chinchilla stuffed into a hamster ball any day of the week. Preferably the chinchilla.

Urgh, completely forgot the actual point of my post, lmao.

Like above, no kids but a cat who insists that my keyboard is the best place for him to sit and stare at me. and every time my hand on the joystick moves towards him, now is the best time to bunt my hand for affection. Judging from the posts, it actually seems a kid is LESS of a hassle than a pet, lol.
