So what do you get baby gamers?

[DoctorWhofan]

Congrats!!!



This is exactly^ how I feel. I have a 3 1/2 yr old, and my second was born this June. Lets setup a gaming playdate for our toddlers... say a couple years from now... they can group together and pillage the harbor.

BTW Kobold sayings in cove were already cute but nothing brings a smile to your face like a toddler singing "What?! What?! Kobold still hate you!"

I see me buying WF so they can go swimming (IE drowning)in the harbor. THen having to explain why it is ok to kill kobolds to a crying toddler. All the important lessons of life are here in DDO. I am waiting to tell him (or her) that babies come from dragon's hoards and mom and dad had to defeat a dragon to get him. We could have taken the loot oh no, we went for the baby. THey'd better appreaciate the sacrifice. Also a good reason to tell them why we don't buy them every toy in the store. Lack of hoard treasure.

Oh man, Wife and I just had a little one ( In June) , I need to get one of those for him. OFC if I do my wife is just going to roll her eyes at me.

Congradulations!



my kids were using the computer at age 1!.

before that, I had them propped up in my lap with a bottle in their mouth, while I played video games.

One of my foundest memories as a Daddy Master(DM) was teaching my one year old to pull the rigger on the joystick when I said "fire" as I used the keyboard to play Doom.

Will never forget the look on her face when I opened a door and a horde of demons came screaming out at us, and I ran backwards....... with her pulling that trigger as fast as her little hands could do so!... lol

probably scared her for life.... poor girl.

Mine sits in a Baby Borjn while I play.

my boy was "playing" by 1- he likes to hit the space bar. "Up up up up"

Too true. Though our 3 1/2 yr old is a boy, so he already has a firm grip on the concept of good guys vs bad guys. The introduction of any new storybook or cartoon always starts with him asking "So who is the bad guy?" "Do they get the bad guy?" If only life were so simple.

I am waiting to tell him (or her) that babies come from dragon's hoards and mom and dad had to defeat a dragon to get him. We could have taken the loot oh no, we went for the baby. THey'd better appreaciate the sacrifice. Also a good reason to tell them why we don't buy them every toy in the store. Lack of hoard treasure.

Lack of Hoard Treasure... yep, we'll go with that. Rescuing a baby would make a great quest. Sadly no children visible anywhere in Eberron, must be that True Reincarnation is the only reason the place has any population whatsoever. ;P

The wife and I have a couple, and they are the Best Pets Ever!

Our boy likes to close his eyes and run around the house(he will probably game with a cast on).

Our girl will game because she's so cute that we aren't letting her date until she's 30.

Our boy(3 1/2) likes to hit the space bar and say "Boingy boingy boingy" and our daughter(2 months) stares at the screen alot when I'm holding her and going through the AH.

[Dawnsfire]

Well, it's offical. I'm going to produce a future gamer. Just found out today.

Congrats! The best to you and your growing family!

[Yan_PL]

Better get a ton of lowbie twink gear!

And, this one made my day!

Wonder if a nice dwarven axe plushie would go well with it

[madmaxhunter]

Gratz Doc.

Now for the real test. What Dr. Who character name are you going to give the little one? (remember my PM to you a year ago?)

I'm so using that.

Turbine better not break this game! I want my 3 year old to play!! GRRR!! <<threat/evilstare/threat>>>

Congrats!

I've been saying that same thing for years. The name we liked for my son was Henry, and a part of that was because of the character in my sig. I figure he'll be old enough to really understand and play on his own around the time I hit completionist . For now he occasionally runs around the map in the water area before Reaver's refuge, and calls it Water World. I'm thoroughly convinced that he'd be better than most PUGs if we let bim actually quest

[Nysrock]

Congratz!

One word of advice from my sons younger years.....when gaming it is NOT ok to place your young one in a walker so he can wander while you quest with the basement door open! Luckily it was only 2 steps down but I STILL hear about it from my wife 13 years later.

Congrats!

Gratz Doc.

actually, My husband has control of the first name, so I am feeling that Ashnod might be the girl's choice.

Middle names will be my choice. Nova for a girl and Wildstar for the guy. My family doesn't think I'll go through with it. Foolish mortals!

Congrats!

My daughter used to sit in my lap and demand I go "swimming," as she thought that was the major purpose of the game.

Now she's almost six, and she'll climb in my lap "Daddy! Kill the dretch! KILL THE DRETCH! When are you going to teach me tabletop? You said you were...

...is that water? Go swimming."
