Video Games

[Mooseherder]

Bill,   Get her a clothesline.   A long one with a pulley on da udder end so she can exercise her upper body.

Ok I am curious. Is there still a need to get a video game for Christmas??

I would have to say you may have to learn about video games for the new family room. If it is like our video game you may have the room back in time for the Final Four. I could also suggest maybe a treadmill in front of the big screen TV for something that may get continued use. I think I got this idea from one of Patty's posts. I have tried it and like it.

There are positives to these games.  My sons live 200 miles apart, but at least once a week, they get on the phone and hook up to a game on their X-Box, and bomb and shoot each other as they solve all the problems of the world, after they have put the children to bed. 

Neither one of them would normally spend an hour on the phone, but if they are playing against each other, the laughter and conversation flows. 

They both have Wii's also, and the skateboarding game gives the kids as much exercise as if they were out on the sidewalk.  It's fun to watch them jump, lean and maneuver through the course. 

Now all I can say is Bill...Bill...Bill.

Yep it appears I'm not getting out of this game buying jam I'm in [although I'm still thinking Victoria Secret gift card..] I have one of those elliptical exercise things a tenant left in one of my rentals in storage. I suggested last night that we drag that out so she can use it and I can put the money I save into towards the above gift card. No dice

Personally I ride a bike for exercise. If I really feel the need for a work out I ride the one with a kick start.

Mooseherder, For unknown reasons I sometimes find my self single and unable to find someone to do the laundry so I already have a gas dryer.

I asked my Son [31] about games yesterday. He's suggesting the xbox 360 with the Kenitc module not so much for me but he is more thinking that when I don't need it anymore he will get it and wants the best.

Things have sure advanced since Pac Man and space invaders.....

Norm, Bull Dozer, kegulator and she sews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Tell me about her Sisters???

[Radar67]

Bill, let's look at the facts here.
1. She wants you to get a video game which can run an exercise game.
2. She wants to convert your man cave to a family room.
3. She appears to be a good cook from your comments.
4. She does not appear to have a weight problem. 

My conclusion is the video game is for you to shed some of those extra pounds she plans on you gaining from her cooking, while hanging out in y'all's new family room. Should you comply and loose said weight, she may very well oblige you with your wish from Victoria's Secret.

Also, the line may be taunt, but the set has not been completed. Comprende?

By the way, tell the missus to be I said "Hello!" 

[Norm]

Bill believe me I got the pick of the litter. 

[AvT]

I had to drag her away from cooking Sunday dinner for my Son, Grand daughter and I to take this picture. Hope the oatmeal raisin cookies don't burn..

Hey Bill , instead of all that hiteck crap that runs up your electric bill and fouls the earth with run down batteries .Go low teck .  Hiclass shiney  brass pole on the stage in your new family  /beer drinking/ guy hang out / big screen TV room. Them brass poles keep a gal in shape real good .  I have been to a few places that have them for public viewing, never saw a gal that was not in good shape using the pole.     

[WH_Conley]

That's pretty smart thinking. Your buddies can leave tips to cover the electric for the TV.

Well to tell you the truth that's why there's a stage already there A EX INSISTED I take the pole down and the pool table out. Hind sight I should have left the pole up. [ I don't miss the pool table] Besides I went all the way and used stainless steel pipe. That cut down on maintenance and brasso She said she was curing me from my neanderthal ways So here I go again.....

Pretty much my whole house is a Man Cave. I'm a single Guy, no flowers or doilies on the table here.

Radar, I'm also thinking this is a trap. She really doesn't need to lose any weight but I guess I could stand to lose 3-30 lbs

Norm, My favorite ex is a Iowa Girl, she's the one that got away..... and also the one that made me take down the pole.

I'm going to try Target again today and look at xbox with the keneit add on. Looks like this has the most versatility  Maybe I'll get a rock star karaoke module so I can learn sing for you guys next pig roast!

I just bought the Xbox with "Kenict" or whatever it is. 250 GB and 2 workout tape, cd things. It doesn't come with a foot pad or controllers. Somehow it senses your feet and hands...I dunno modern technology. The freebie was Call of Duty Modern Warfare.
I suspect this is going to be one of those gifts that gets used a couple times then put in the closet....

[Radar67]

When you put it in the closet, holler!

[DouginUtah]

She asked me what I wanted so I said a 2012 Harley Road King. Hope I get it.

Did you?       

[Raider Bill]

Nope...... DANG IT! I really wanted one too!

Well she loves the Xbox and I like the Victoria Secret gift card I got her so it's a win win.

Actually this game console is pretty amazing or at least to someone like me that never played them before.

It scans your body as you move around so you do not need wires or controllers. So far I've watched them play kickball, dodge ball, and go white water rafting. It's quite a show.
She got a work out video which she's been using in the  mornings instead of  her normal running and yoga. Like Jeff's WII it weighs you and keeps a journal as to all your accomplishments. There's also a personal trainer  [John] who works along side yelling encouragement, menu and food suggestions.
This sure ain't pac man

I dont have the xbox but i have the PS3 and Wii.  The wii has colected lots of dust but i play the PS3 all the time. Sometimes to much she says. I like the PS3 cause its internet and movies. Netflix streams on it. The same for the xbox. I never can seem to get movies back in town in time so it saves me lots of money. With 4 kids It also keeps them busy. Ive always been big in video games though.
