8-year-old daughter whooping my butt

[half the sky]

ok, I've been playing Harry Potter on Playstation 2. Should I fear my daughter whooping my butt in broom flying? I mean, I'm an adult. Is she going to be owning me in Planetside? She's awsome as a pilot with standard joystick controls for flying. :|

Is flying a vehicle in Planetside going to be like the way one would handle flight simulator? Because if so, I'm afraid of my kid!!

[�io]

I'd be more afraid that i'm actually playing Harry porter. ;)

Yeah, yeah....My daugter read the whole series by the age of 6. She's a big fan and it's family time for us. We all sit around in front of the game as other families might watch a movie or TV together. When you have kids of your own, you'll understand.

[�io]

Wow, now i get the "She's a Delicate Flower. Dammit!" thing. I was just teasing, no need to scald me. :tear:

:lol: Your cool with me if you can make Dio feel bad :lol: But anyways, the flight controls are a really big issue with most people right now.

Sorry sky, must move this thread :D

I have a friend who has a 7-year-old daughter. She plays CS and TSO(yes... there are seven year-olds playing TSO. Be VERY afraid). She's pretty good at CS, and if your 8-year-old is good, then be proud you are raising a meat puppet who sits in front of the TV playing videogames who is better at being a meat puppet than you! ALL HAIL THE MEAT PUPPETS!! Now I must go meat puppeteering(play videogames). In the end, what I am trying to say is that it's a videogame, it's nothing scary. But if you want to beat her (and prove that you ARE superior), then train at it.

Big issue? Are they different? Please elaborate.

You could do that (:stupid: ) ................ or you could just use the next punishment as an oppurtunity. Take away her game. Then play it obsessively during the duration, while she gets rusty - you get UBER! Parenting 203 is now closed.

Love the stealth mode I snuck this on-topic thread in under? You didn't even notice I was actually asking about the vehicle controls, huh?

WooooHoooooooo!!!

:love:

I don't really know what to tell you. Maybe she is just able to learn faster than you. Rootbeer could be what is killing your competative edge.

Try flying a helicopter in Vice City. If you can't complete the Helicopter course within 2:30.... well.

(Best time is 1:58)

damn you have a good family my parents are obsessed with cards and board games LAZY TOO they never go anywhere I ski competivly and they hate snow and make me shovel it ! like tommorow god damnit were getting like a foot.

If she beet's you to many times just ground her mostly because you can but partly because your angry... (I just realized I should probauly never have kids)

I started laughing so hard when I read this. Then I read this.

Totally misunderstood you Nohimn.

She's very humble about it and tells me I'm doing great. She honestly doesn't realise how amazing she is.

This is a child who spoke her first word at 3 mos and was speaking in long, elaborate sentences at 10 months. I first noticed her reading words at one year.

She's destined for greatness. Eating her dust is ok with me because its HER dust and I love her. I was just hoping to be able to hold her off till she was in high school or something.



ok, so can anyone answer my question about flying vehicle controls in planetside? Are they like standard joystick controls you would use for flight simulator???

[Sandtaco]

I don't think its going to be like a flight simulator. So you might be able to out fly her.

[bliksta]

I'm gonna raise my kids to own at games :D

[Doobz]

Heheh, my kids will pwn your kids :)

I will train them from birth to move around in MOHAA, later, we'll move on to the controller.
There will be a mandatory minimum 5 hour a day game time starting at the age of 4!
They will pwn all, all your base are belong to me!

err, ehem......... don't ruin my dynasty dreams........

:cool:

[Navaron]

Don't breed, please don't breed.

[Hamma]

:lol:

[Bighoss]

is this kid like a super child or something??? sentences at 10 months??? most kids have just learned to walk by then ! and I don't think kids can develop muscles to really speak at 3 month's they just can make noise and say MA and then people go OMG its her first word but it isn't just a noise that babies make. I mean at 3 months babies discover their hand's and that's about it. I learned that a few years ago when I was over at this guys house for dinner who was some doctor for babies on critical care who were really immature like months and born with bad diseases.

Whatever you do don't let her get into radical feminism. Girl's that smart can corrupt millions !

TELL ME WHEN THE KID DEVELOPS PHSYIC POWERS AT THIS RATE IT SHOULD BE SOON !!!

The kids in my family usually talk young. My son was 8 months old and I was carrying him around in a blanket at a book store when he pointed to a table of books and said, "Momma, I want book." This man next to me freaked out a bit and kept asking me how old he was. lol

When people are winning at video games and im not I simply unplug their contoler and watch them go spinning off into a wall or something or put a bulet between that persons eyes. (Too bad cant do that in CS) Imagine reach threw PC screen yoink! HAHAHA! I Have your mouse!!!

[Sandtaco]

:huh:

[Bighoss]

I beleive I heard Dave mention somewhere they would be somewhat similar to the tribes piloting controlls.

[DarkJaguar]

gods i hope not, I want realistic flight controls so i can shine.

[Bighoss]

it might be hard for it to be like a flight simulator because it would be incorpating a whole game in another that would only be about 10-20% of it that's pretty hard espically when your dealing with an internet game because then so much would be going on it might be hard to keep lag down.

Maybe it will be like BF1942 that was pretty decent in flight

[Nohimn]

I've been playing videogames since I was 2.
