Oh, I love myself ...Do you have Cosmo playing Myst? Oh, I love myself a crazy logic game. For the past ten years, off and on in the five minutes that I play a computer game per year, I've been playing Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic. LOVE it.<br /><br />I bet he'd really like I Spy Junior, and perhaps even regular I Spy. Right now, Will is loving a library game called Crazy Machines--you build an elaborate machine using other simple machines like inclined planes, and lots of physics, and it does silly stuff. She can do the majority of it, with a little help from me as I sew. In June, we're going to start calling it Homeschool Math/Science.<br /><br />We're such regular patrons that if we like a library game, we leave it installed on my computer, and just check it out over and over. I have the shortcuts to the games that we have installed and in the house in one corner of my desktop so that Will can access them independently--that's a very new thing, but it seems to be working out.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-84889914876427664262010-04-16T12:20:38.742-04:002010-04-16T12:20:38.742-04:00thank you julie. cosmo loves magic schoolbus, and ...thank you julie. cosmo loves magic schoolbus, and computer games of all sorts, but i have never tried the MSB computer games! i am sure they will be a welcome change from the really difficult puzzle games (room escapes with strange "logical" sequences, for example) that he has been playing, which usually require a lot of adult assistance. <br /><br />will the EZ-up be painted rainbow, perhaps?cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022650911172987454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-45793877335867763202010-04-15T19:21:14.659-04:002010-04-15T19:21:14.659-04:00Other than a couple of garage sale finds, we get a...Other than a couple of garage sale finds, we get all our computer games from the library. And we get a LOT of them at a time, firstly because Willow is really into them, and secondly because they're older, and so they don't always install correctly, and it sucked the couple of times that we brought home, like, one computer game and I had to be all, "Sorry, doesn't work. Better luck next time."<br /><br />Anyway, Syd isn't into computer games yet, although she'll hang out with Will while she does them, but Willow LOVES the Magic School Bus games, and all the I Spy games. She likes all the Jump Start stuff, too, which I also like, but she also likes the School Zone titles, and I think that some of those are kind of iffy. <br /><br />EZ-Up is my big-ass craft fair tent. Super-versatile big-ass tent, and I may spray-paint it.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-86589160408314257012010-04-15T12:58:26.239-04:002010-04-15T12:58:26.239-04:00i need to know more about the magic school bus com...i need to know more about the magic school bus computer games. for instance, do they have them at the library? can i find some for free, online? <br /><br />also, what's an EZ-up?<br /><br />rainbow party sounds really fun.cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022650911172987454noreply@blogger.com
