Get them a Wii. Kids love Mario. Most of the good games on the Xbox are not made for kids.

I think wii is best for kids but he may outgrow it quick.  I'd leave that call to other people with kids though.  I was there twice, once US Air and once Great Lakes as it was just becoming AA.  Basically, everybody did everything.  Check people in, load bags, waive planes in and out, deice, etc.  Flights will either be free with space available or they'll make you pay some pud charge for space available ($25 for less than 500 miles, 35 for 500-1000, etc).  Plan vacations smart and you can fly for free a lot. Also, you'll get discounts for a bunch of stuff because companies trade with airlines a lot.  A lot of it I didn't use, but most is travel related (rental cars) and some is just random companies.

I wish there was a video of the gestures you could do. I figured out the minority report one to minimize/maximize the current window. Just by complete luck though, needs documenting.

Well I'll be damned.

Just picked up Forza 5 and it's installing 

[Super PurpleCat]

Anyone play any FIFA14? I have been juking and crossing and slamming home goals over 13 year old brits this past couple of weeks.

Also finally got GTA5! I like it!

I want to get FIFA14 but I also want to get NHL14 but not for $59 effin bucks.   

GTA5 is cool but unlike all my friends who zoomed through it I'm taking my time and soaking it all in.

Picked up Walking Dead Survival Instinct on sale, it took me about 10 minutes to realize why it was on sale, what a shitshow cash grab of a game.

I just caught up with the last two weeks of this thread, interesting read because my roommate just downloaded TLDS after seeing me play Tiny Tower.  Seems like a fun little take on the older game, but always felt like the game itself was an incomplete one.  I mean, biggest part of the game is moving elevators yourself?  :P

It's just your gamer tag, so mines Captain JAG31 and yours is pclams.

I would tell you that you could add me, but it sounds like I drive quite similarly to this pclams character.

I only have to deal with the pclams demo car for about half a lap. Then he's so far behind it's not a big deal.

[pissclams]

what driver level are you guys?  i am 10 or 11.

[The Big Train]

I'm just like a 3 or something, haven't had it that long.

However

I am a veteran of about every racing game out there.

[ChiComCat]

I just started and have only played it for a couple of hours at most, level 3 I think.  GF's lil bro is hanging out at my house today and is probably going to level me up a billion times though. 

I usually nail cars on the inside of turns and pass.  Works pretty well.  The driver assists are pretty extreme which I enjoyed at first but will probably start turning off.

I liked Arkham City, anyone played that new Batman game yet? Thinking about getting it.

so they're making things more affordable? Nice. Opposite of what GTA 5's last update did.

When I tell my xbox one to turn off, it doesnt turn my tv off. It turns on, though, when I tell it to. Any ideas?

If you are in the KC area I have an extra copy of Fifa 14 I can sell you half price...

Go to the settings, you can tell it to do that. (disabled by default)

[ew2x4]

I figured that was the case
