Another gamer in training

Post by SpaceBooger »

Oliver Stephen born 9/17/09 @ 4:03am 7lbs8oz 20.5inches
Along with his 13 month-old brother Calvin, Oliver will be trained in the ways of the classic consoles.

So, if I'm not around posting too much the next couple days it's because I'm teaching my new son how to play video games... or hanging with him at the hospital... or both - thats what GameBoys are for right? :)

Congrats man! This makes two, right?

You'll need to pick up some 4-controller adapters for those classic consoles!

Yeah that makes two. My 13 month-old already figured out that the buttons on a Genesis controller makes a funny noise and Sonic jumps. The control pad will take a wile longer for him to master. I now have a guaranteed Streets of Rage and Zombies Ate My Neighbors parters in a couple years.

Oh, they will get their fill of comics. They are kinda named after characters:
Calvin Lee (Cal L - Superman... spelled differently but sounds the same)
Oliver Steven (Oliver Queen - Green Arrow)

And to everyone else thanks for the congrats. Ill be hit or miss for the next couple of days until the whole family is back from the hospital.

Congrats.

Also, nice job on the stealth geekiness with the names. Gives them a chance to point it out if they think its cool later in life without having to worry about teasing from any mean kids.
