Thanksgiving

Thank you!! It was a really nice 4 day holiday. I got in trouble though.
My 13 year nephew from West Virginia was visiting with his parents. I let
him play HF2. Couldn't tear him away from it. His parents weren't too happy
about me turning him on to the violent side. HF does have its positive side.
Great entertainment. Teaches me to persist - work out puzzles in life -
there is an answer to most everything. (Got to admit the walkthoughs are
handy.) Anyway, we may not see them again here in MInnesota (just a few
hundred miles south of Winnipeg.)

Yeah, I'm finding it hard to judge the various parts of the HL empire,
with regards to juvenile suitability. We've settled on giving VisJnr
(just turning 11) unrestricted access to Portal, access to TF2 but
keeping him off the HL2 episodes (some of the burning zombie scenes in
Ep1 were a bit too intense for him to be even watching, let alone
playing).

Not sure about HL1, though - my instinct tells me it should be a 12
rating, and with the source engine might satisfy his taste for all
things new and shiny...

Haha running into the same issue at our house we (as in my wife) is a
lot more conservative and really basically hates all computer games.
(Though we don't do any scary movies either for any of us... sheltered
children)
But being the loving women she is she tolerates my play but doesn't want
me corrupting our kids. (Too late!)
Oldest just turned 13 but still pulling the reins back on him.
We are working on the mom to let him get a steam account (with me
keeping the password) send him my HL2 extra copy so he can get Fortress
forever... NOT to play HL2.
Figured FF is a "safe" enough start but she's not impressed.

We even had him make a contract to sign saying he would keep him marks
up to **%, no attitude, etc. Still waiting for her signature.
