Proud my sons are turning into Grogheads!

Both Eric 17 and Craig 13, are deep into CK2 right now... lol.. I"m proud of the fact that they have open enough minds to try other things besides solely playing First Person Shooters (like other kids their age). They both enjoyed the Civilization series as well.

Craig has also been heavily into Vicky2 and EU3 as well. Eric saw how much fun he was having and asked him to show him CK2. All afternoon, that's what I've seen on their screens.

On the other hand.. CK2 is on Steam.. so every time they log in, I get kicked out!! :P .. Now I wish I bought it on Gamers Gate.. Maybe I'll get them their own copies next sale..

That is awesome to hear. Maybe when you all get your own copies you can have a family MP game and have some good old fashion familial backstabbing. ;D

I'm keeping an eye out for the whole CK2 shebang, in one Complete package sale at Gamersgate too, so I'll leave a post next time GG has a big sale on it. Will be nice not having to use Steam for it, and not getting some spoilers in the form of the extra debug info in the tooltips on my current copy.

Can't you play "logged out"?

just be careful - officially, we're age-gated at 18 b/c we don't over-police the language in here.

that said, I'm 100% cool with kids participating as long as their parents know what they're doing.

Great story, Tuna. Thanks for sharing!

LOL, now my 13 year old is playing Fire and Sword for M2TW.. I asked him if he'd share the download..

Tuna · January 28, 2013, 05:07:30 PM

Ooops correction Stainless Steel mod..

Grim.Reaper · January 28, 2013, 05:38:46 PM

Your a lucky father to have kids that share the same hobby as you.

Longdan · January 28, 2013, 06:40:36 PM

My kids learned to play games on my lap. They rarely have time to play with dad
since he is such a retro-luddite. When they help me do work on the machine they
just tell me to go out and have a beer while they work because it takes too long
to explain what they are doing.

Tuna you had me all excited that one of your boys actually grabbed the M2TW Fire and Sword files from somewhere...I was all ready to launch a barrage of compliments about young whippersnappers amd such. Now I'll just go look for my teeth :/
