We want to win a 3DS!

Since it's looking like Christmas before we can get a 3DS, I started looking around the net to try and find a place that was giving them away(i know, the chances are very slim, but a dads gotta do what a dads gotta do). Well, while searching we found a place called gamesplash.net that is giving away one 3DS with pilotwings.

Here are the rules to the contest:

----------
* This contest will run from today, 3/10/10, until 4/10/10 at 12:00 AM EST.
* Make sure you use your real email address when commenting - as we'll be notifying the winner via email.
* This contest is open to North American entrants only (sorry, European folks).
* Enter as many times as you'd like, but each entry must be in its own comment.
Remember - creativity counts. Have fun, and good luck!

We left a comment saying that Daemion would go around to all his neighbors telling them he won a 3DS while wearing his Mario Costume(will record). We also said we would post something in our blog about winning.

So gamesplash, here we are to show you that we are serious! If we win, we will record him and post it here telling everyone that we won it from gamesplash.net!

Here's a link for you to go sign-up and try to win the 3DS. That way if we don't win, at least one of our fans has a chance.

GOOD LUCK!

Micro Review of: Galaga

This is one of my all time favorites from the arcade next to Pac-man and Donkey Kong. Daemion and I usually play it about once a month to try and beat our personal high-scores. When we started playing it yesterday I asked Daemion if he wanted to do a short review of it. Naturally he said, "Of course!". So we ended up playing for around an hour. After we finished playing I asked him what he would score it overall as a game. At first he said, "An 8!", but very quickly changed his mind and said, "Well, it's not that good. It's a 7".

Since this is a Micro Review of sorts, we are going to keep this quick. Below is an image of the score and some quotes about the game from Daemion. As for Parental Guidance, there really isn't much needed. All I had to do was show Daemion how to get the double shot. For those who don't know this, it is done by letting one of the big blue or green enemy ships pull you up into their tractor beam, then you shoot the enemy down and get your ship back. This enables you to have two ships side by side giving you two shots at once.
