It's been a fun four years since I last had to have these around the house....but alas it's time to bring the potty out once more.

Hopefully he takes to it as well as his sister. I am not confident.

Morning all. It's Monday morning which can mean but one thing....What have you been playing this last week?

This is something I've always struggled with and I think it's put my daughter in a spot where she's very reluctant to do anything by herself.

Don't get me wrong, she plays well with others and her younger brother, but when he's not available she basically just wants to play with me rather than going off on her own and playing by herself.

Now I don't mind, but I wouldn't mind a bit of...not playing time but also I'm worried it's going to affect her going down the line.

Thoughts?

How has your week been? How are the kids? What's going on and what have you got planned?

Welcome to Saturday Moanings, your safe place to vent, moan and otherwise just....have a good whine about the world, your household and everything in between.

How are we feeling about this?

The game won't have a performance/quality mode at launch, but you will be allowed to tweak a little if you're playing on PC.

Now obviously it's not the worst thing in the world, and I'm sure many will be perfectly fine playing at 30, but I can't help but be disappointed by this news.

On a personal level I'll always go with the framerate over graphical fidelity; oftentimes the differences between the visuals in a quality mode just don't justify the loss of that smooth 60FPS, although I'm willing to grant that mileage may vary on that one.

I understand the constant want to improve visuals. They go a long way towards selling a game to it's audience, but I wish we'd gotten to a point where you could 1) have a conversation about the importance of FPS without appearing like a snob and 2) allow devs to prioritize 60FPS over graphical fidelity.

So yeah???

What an.... interesting list. What are we thinking?

Personally I'm stunned Lara Croft made the top five and Agent 47 seems like an odd choice. Small sample size?

4. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog

5. Sackboy, LittleBigPlanet

6. Pac-Man, Pac-Man

Which makes me wonder. Dad's of Lemmy...what's the worst advice you've ever received about parenting?

Monday! The long weekend is nearly over and if you're anything like our house you've eaten nothing but meat, potatoes and chocolate. And maybe, just maybe you've managed to find some time over the last seven days to play some videogames!

Let us know what you've been playing over the last seven days.

My eldest is screaming because she didn't get as many eggs as she thought she would. Thanks Bluey.

How's your weekend going?

Hello, Good morning and welcome to another fine edition of What We're Playing; our weekly round up everything that's kept us glued (or not) to our TV screens, desktop monitors, portable displays and whatever else you crazy kids are playing games on these days.

So, what have you been playing over the last seven days?

Congratulations to the team and the community as a whole for this pretty amazing achievement.

Turns out the one level that the group was having trouble with was originally uploaded using something called a TAS, which renders it null and void, so they didn't actually have to beat that one to finish them all.

**Edited title. Making sure that the word 'level' doesn't fit. Have a good day. *

Moanings fellow Dad's. Hows life?

I've had the week off work and despite it being a nonstop exhausting battle to the death with two young kids...I've had a really nice time with them both. In short: fuck work for robbing me of that time with my kids.....

At the same time my partner vowed to take the kids out for a few hours today so I'm looking forward to a bit of Me time.

How's your week been?
