I spent a good amount of time tonight playing SkyLanders. We just got the Empire of Ice and Dragon’s Peak Adventure Packs and love the new characters. Empire of Ice is pretty easy and we completed that super quick. Dragon’s Peak is posing to be a bit of a challenge though, I can’t find a specific item to complete that level.
I really like the game but am not thrilled about going to go and find the figures needed to totally complete the game. I understand what is being done to inflate the market and it stinks. What stinks more is standing in line with entitled people. Listening to people complain about the lack of characters and how much they need those characters is a bit sickening. People writing letters to Activision to express how there should be more figures. They’ll put out figures in their own time.The market will be inflated and then at the height of fever it will be flooded. Then with the next series it will begin all over again.
It is just a game. A very fun game and I’m looking for 5 last figures none-the-less.
I do so love being a Geek Dad. We get to talk about so many fun things and play with cool stuff. Over at Geek Dads Weekly Daniel, Greg and I talked about the results of a survey: The Linksys “Confessions of a Geek Dad” Survey; conducted by Answers Research on behalf of Cisco Home Networking in December 2011; survey of 590 men ages 25-54 with children ages 17 and under. We were not participants int eh survey but we sure should have been. We chatted about the answers to the survey on this past week’s show and Daniel posted the episode to Youtube.
Now, a big part of being a Geek Dad is technology and Cisco and Linksys have some really cool tech for a family that is becoming increasingly more dependent upon wireless. We have wireless laptops, iPads, a Nintendo Wii, Kodak Wireless Printer, Sony Blu-Ray player and are thinking about a wireless TV. In order to be able to take advantage of all of those devices you need to have a good router. I was sent a Linksys E4200 Dual-Band N Router to review and lucky for you, I have one to give away!
