Game Freak Geek House

halo3

Tonight is friday night movie/games night.  The younger 3 usually ends up watching a movie while the older 2 plays either the xbox 360 or World of warcraft.   Tonight we are all sitting downstairs playing a mad bad game of Halo 3.   That is the life with a house full of boys, poor Sydney!

I remember when James and I were just married, the Internet was just barely out.  Our being poor BYU students spent our date nights playing M.U.D. (multi user dungeon) games. Do you remember them? They are the online games where you enter commands to play  by typing in the computer.  There was no graphics, only code.   That was way back 14 years ago.   We use to play that game until all hours of the night.   It was such a primitive game but just as fun.

New technology has brought us the MMORPG  (Massively multiplayer online role-playing game) which includes World of Warcraft, Asherons call, Dungeon siege, etc.

James and I got into Asheron's call back when we first moved to Washington. We use to play it after the kids went to bed until all hours of the night.  I even got to level 78, go figure! :)

Next game Dungeon Seige...  James and I played it for a while but our boys have liked it the most. 

Over the years, the more kids we have had the less time we have had to play any type of Role-playing games.   These games have been taken over by our boys.

We still do like watching the boys play.   It brings back memories of all the time James and I battle those aliens over the years till wee hours of the night..

I love when you post like this. It gives us all a little peek into your lives! Thanks! I still remember the only night Larry ever stayed out all night--it was playing games with Jim, Jon, Owen, etc. Boy was I mad. I needed to loosen up, eh? good times!
