So its Monday night 8:30 EDST, and I sit down to watch the one show that I actually watch on free to air TV. Only to find that they have totally ruined it.

Gone was the lovable Jung and replaced with BEWBS or whatever her name is. Some random they have stolen from the yet to be relased ABC3. Now I am sick of this cross promotion crap that the networks keep having. Its bad enough that Today tomorrow has stories about shows that its airing later in the night or week. Now its seems that ABC has decided that they need to cross promote presenters.
The Good game forums, facebook and twitter have been awash with some of the best flaming I have seen since the 2001 Zedicus V Jaxor wars. And naturally I have had a say in my thoughts on it.

For the first time in 5 years I ALMOST turned off the show. It better get better in the next few weeks or I won’t be watching.

Every now and then I'll "borrow" a paper from the pile that gets delivered to my building every morning and read through some of the articles as some never make it to the Internet. I recently came across this article, "Warlike family fun" written by Wendy Harmer (The older gamers will know of her).

The gist of the article is Wendy's son plays WoW and Wendy plays along with him. Her son is only 8yrs old, so he's starting on WoW crack young. But Wendy is taking an interest in her sons life instead of just using gaming as a "get out of my hair" tactic she is actually being a parent and playing with him, which most of the articles I've read in the mainstream press never touch on.

I see gaming as just another activity like sports, its something you would want to do with them and their friends.

Its good to see gaming articles written to encourage parents to take a little responsibility and not just blame games for their kids learning how to swear at gold farmers in Chinese.
