Did you know today is National Family Game Night? Tonight, families around the country will be playing games with one another to reconnect and reenergize. Hasbro is sponsoring this as part of Turn Off Week. It’s a great way to remove ourselves from the electronic items in our lives that seem to take over.
Family game night invites families everywhere to turn off the outside world for a short time and create memories together,” said Belisa Anzalotti, Director of U.S. Marketing for Hasbro Games. “Hasbro has established National Family Game Night to designate one evening where American families are encouraged to play games and share in learning and laughter.
Not only can you reconnect with your family, it is a great cheap way to have fun. You don’t have to run out and buy a new game – use what you already have in your house. For example, we will be playing either Candy Land or Chutes And Ladders here. (Though I would love to play some Monopoly against the hubby! I think in the 12 years we’ve been together, he’s beaten me only like 3 times. Then I wonder why he doesn’t like that game).
How are you spending National Family Game Night? What games do you plan on playing?

I’m addicted to playing games online, and I Prophesy: The Future Revealed is no exception. This games is like nothing else I have seen before. Each place you walk into in this game you have to answer a question (instead of shooting things up or buying things). There were questions about everything: the environment, aging, the future, etc. You can also chat with other players while you are playing (who doesn’t love that?). In the I Prophesy world, you can play minigames and unlock secret avatar enhancements. Not only do you get question, you also get to watch some video too (depending on where you walk into). However, the videos tend to leave you with more questions than answers.
The game is definitely addicting, and about four hours into it, you will wonder where the time has gone (not that this has happened to me several times already). I would classify this game as a MMO game though you can definitely keep to yourself in it. In my opinion, the graphics are pretty good. I don’t expect perfection in my online games, and this definitely passes that test. The graphics are actually better than a lot of games out there.
If you want a great new game to try out, make sure you play this game!

Another reason I am pretty sure Madison feels better is that every commercial that comes across the TV she has told us that she wants that. It does not matter if it is toys, a purse, or a tool for the yard. She wants it. I have a feeling that this may get worse before it gets better. At least at this point, she only wants the stuff and doesn’t get disappointed when she doesn’t get it.

As most of you know, I am from Wisconsin. More specifically, Green Bay Wisconsin. My parents live close enough to Lambeau Field that you can actually walk over there. Imagine my surprise, when I just heard that Brett Favre has retired. The story is over at NFL.com, so I am pretty sure it is true.
He retires with 5,377 career completions in 8,758 attempts for 61,655 yards, 442 touchdowns and 288 interceptions. He also has the following records: consecutive regular-season starts (253 games and if you are add the playoffs, you are looking at 275 games), most touchdown passes, most yards passing, and most career victories by a starting quarterback
We wish you well Brett!
