About the SCA and Gulf Wars!
What is this thing called the SCA? And what is Gulf Wars?
The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international non-profit educational organization that is dedicated to the research and recreation of pre-16th century European History, with a particular focus on its practical applications in arts and sciences, including costuming, cooking, martial arts, dance, calligraphy and illumination, metalwork, archery and music just to name a few.
“In our family we have two fighters (Soon to be three!) And Two Dancers (Middle Eastern) I sew all of our costumes called (Garb) and my husband makes all of our armor! To see photos visit our costume page Trufolk.com”
GULF WARS is an annual war between Ansteorra and Trimaris, being hosted by Meridies. It takes place at King's Arrow Ranch near Lumberton, MS. It is currently held during "spring break" in mid-March each year!
An estimate of 3K people attends Gulf War each year and many of them start packing in January!
“I am sewing for the war already! Out with the old and outgrown and in with the new! I’m even taking Middle Eastern Dance in college this semester to brush up on dancing skills.”
To attend Gulf War you need to register either by mail (postmarked by January 31st) or online by February 14th.
Here is a nifty video clip about the SCA!

WoW- Blood Elf Review
World of Warcraft- Burning Crusades
A Character review by Darick (age 9)
My review is on the New Horde character the “Blood Elf”
I don’t have the Burning crusades yet; Mom and Dad wont get it for me until I hit 60 so I made a toon on my Mom’s account.
I decided to make the Horde Blood Elf because I think they look cooler than the Alliance Draenei.
What I really like about the blood elves is how they look, move, jump, and their cities and last of all there gear.
They’re easy to play and their quests are pretty easy.
HINT: When you go to the second town and go through the big door and go west; don’t try to kill the undead by your self!
I decided to make a Hunter because my Dad said I should make a pet class.
My favorite thing about playing a hunter is that you get a pet.
Right now my Blood Elf Hunter is level 7 but I don’t get to play him very much cause my mom uses her account a lot.
When I reach level 60 on my account and I get Burning Crusades I will most likely make a blood elf or Draenei depending on the server.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I give the Blood Elves a 5 in my list of Favorites.
To read more about WoW and the Blood Elves Visit the Burning Crusades site Here.

SCENE IT?
Emerald asked for this game for Yule this year She didn’t say what one she wanted so we got her the basic Movie Scene it-
Come to find out she wanted the Harry potter one…Go figure…
We didn’t see the HP one in Toys r us where we got hers. If you are considering getting this game there is a site that you can actually test it out first- SCENE IT
Just click the title you want to tryout and it pops up in a different window-
Also if you to bought the wrong scene it game (like us) you can buy attachment games for the one you have, This is what we will do because The movie one is cool- it has questions from movies we know (EX: Shrek) and we will order the Disney one because Mom is a Disney FREAK! Possibly the Bond one because well it’s Bond!
Also coming soon is the Marvel Scene it- now you know we just have to have this one!
Family Review soon~

Warcraft themed flash games
WoW DDR
I found this game fun to play. And great workout for finger coordination!
Catchy music, Dance pad background and well it’s WoW themed!
Wonderful to play while you’re in Queue!
You can also add your guild name to make it easier for others in your guild to compare scores!
So are you a Level 1 Human or a Level 60 Undead?
If you don’t like the flashy lights and funky music in the DDR game then maybe you would rather try an older style Warcraft flash game.
Flash Element TD is one of those games I just can’t stop playing!
I said I’d try it out and before I knew it I had played for over an hour!
“The aim of the game is to kill the creeps before they reach the end of the maze, do this by building attacking towers on the grass around the maze. To build click on the one you want to build on the right, then click on the map where you want it to be built. Once built you can click on them to upgrade or sell. To get a high score keep as much of your gold in the bank as possible, at the end of each round you earn interest on the gold in the bank. Special levels are where the creeps are none-normal, they include FAST [6, 13, 19, 26, 32] AIR [8, 17, 27] IMMUNE [10, 21, 32] BOSS [11, 22, 33] You get wood every 7 levels use wood to research upgrades.”
I give these two games a thumb up!

Burning Crusades @ Midnight!
After venturing out into the ice last night to get our copies of WoW Burning Crusades from our local Gamestop…
We played until 5 Am and Woke this AM to wonderful snow falling in Texas!
I'm so happy that we went last night or I may have been crying this morning instead of hugging my husband with that goofy snow smile on my face!
Aren’t we cute Sleepy Gamers?
Okay our thoughts on the Game so far?
IT FREAKIN’ ROCKS!
We have so far trained higher in our First aid , Herbalism, Alchemy, and Skinning!
Just doing Quests and discovering new areas of the map; we have made 70-80 Gold and 7 bubbles of Experience! Not to mention I am wearing better gear than I had Yesterday!
We have seen some crazy new Monsters in game too!
Beware the floating rock piles! LOL
Too funny they scared us! REALLY!

Wii getting tennis racket, golf club and baseball bat controller attachments!
The sport pack for Wii will cost you an estimate of $23 and you can pre-order it at Visavis for a late January release. You’ll get four head-mounts for the Wii remote. These plastic attachments are 16 inches- No boxing or bowling gloves included though. It Sounds cool and We will be getting them :)
however…
I really like the steering wheel that comes with the racing games.
PRO: The Wii Remote fits into the wheel horizontally with all buttons accessible, so tilting the wheel will tilt the remote. The player is able to steer the wheel just like an actual car.
The CON: Every time we use our Steering wheels the black foam inside of it that’s meant to protect the Wii sensor peels off and leaves a nasty mess over the end of our controllers and the controller wont work until we clean the gunk off!I hope the other attachments don’t do the same thing because it’s a pain!
"Hold your wee for a Wii" A Tragedy!
28-year-old Jennifer Strange, of Rancho Cordova, Calif., is believed to have died of water intoxication after competing in a radio station’s contest to win a Nintendo Wii.

Love the skin your in!
Today I was reading over at TechEBlog when I came across Skin Bag
Skin bag is a company that is making faux human skin garments and accessories for men and women “GORE + CHIC=TRES CHIC!”
I am torn between being grossed out by all the images of “chainsaw massacre” and “the Devils rejects” in my head as I look thru their photos however; I am also intrigued as some of the items do look very pretty. You can even add alternative tattoos and piercing to your product!
Logically my mind says, “Oh this is cool! It’s faux skin not real animal skins” on the other hand my mind is saying “I feel sick thinking about wearing human skin even if it’s faux”
I know my husband will find this terribly Goretastic and would most likely want a nifty skin laptop bag to take to work!
What do you think?

WoW, Kids, and the TOS (AFK Parents)
Just posting because we were talking about this in Guild chat-
Someone had their kids playing while they went to make dinner and was /gkicked after the Guild Master contacted them and got jibberish as the reply.
My thoughts are TOS says 1 minor child Can share the account- so zip it on the kid was playing the toon- They were not afk a Human was sitting at the computer playing.
2nd- If you need your child to play your toon while your AFK (It happens to all of us!) Teach them the color codes of Chat! "If you see "This color" Come get Dad or Mom!
Anyways not much else to say

In Game boyfriend/Girlfriends?
As a parent I know the time will come when my kids are talking about boys and girls they like, but I'm not sure what to think about this online dating stuff.
My kids don't have online BF/GF yet- but I did walk up on Emer's computer and seen someone chatting to her about their brother likes her and gave her a gift worth 5 gold. She just responded "But I don't like him like him he is just a friend"
Makes you wonder about if the people you play online with are really who they say- She knows not to give out any personal info and they really may be all her age- Lord knows I wouldn't be able to play like that unless I was a kid!
They stand around in town talking for hours then go do 1/2 a quest etc lol it's crazy!
However out of my two She has never been the one for games so it's surprising to see her toon is bigger than her brothers since they got their accounts on Dec. 25th
Oh man am I ready for this? I'd better be!

Wii Straps received!
We received our replacement Wii Straps today in the mail.
We needed two straps replaced- the one from in the box and the one from the first extra controller we bought. Our third controller strap was fine- and we have yet to buy the forth controller.
The Strap replacements came super fast in the mail! They also came with a insert sheet with all sorts on knowledgable information like "Don't let go of your controller during play"!
LOL
If you need to order some Wii strap replacements head on over to Nintendo.com and fill out the order form (you will need the code # off the back of your Wii)

Wii Sports review
Tennis:
Dad- This game was a lot of fun. The controller was a little sensitive, but it was fun to play.
Mom- Kind of strange having two people in the living room swinging their arms around at the same time- other than that I like it, can’t hit the up close balls worth a flip yet but I’m pretty good playing back field :)
Son- I don’t really like the tennis game- because it’s hard :P
Daughter- It’s okay- (Big talker isn’t she!)
Baseball:
Dad- I can’t hit the Ball. Nice content for being able to change your pitch. I guess in batting timing is everything.
Mom- I like the Baseball game esp. how it shows the ball speed and it cycles thru all the Mii’s you have created. I think its cute how they look like little weeble wobbles on the field!
Son- I like this game- It’s fun- it feels like your really playing baseball- It’s hard when the computer uses all the different ways to pitch the ball.
Daughter- It’s okay- Out of them all this is my favorite sports game.
Boxing:
Dad- This one is a blast. You can break a sweat or do it with a flick of the wrist. K.O.
Mom- I like this one a lot- it’s a great workout if you really get into it- Wish they made attachments for the legs like kick boxing ^^
Son- I Don’t really like this game either- It’s hard to use the controls I don’t understand it yet.
Daughter- Have not played this game yet
Bowling:
Dad- I think this was the family favorite. We all were able to get together and play each other. What Fun.
Mom- This is the first Sports game I played- I think we all really like this one- Good family fun time bowling without the shoe rentals or hourly fee! I like the zoom in feature!
Son- I like this game A lot! It’s like real bowling lining up your ball and aiming :)
Daughter- Feels like we are really bowling-
Golf:
Dad- I have never played golf, but I found the Wii Golf is very fun and takes a little practice. A real challenge.
Mom- It’s okay. I’m not really into golf and have not played this game enough to really give it a review.
Son- Not really into the game golf- It’s okay
Daughter- I don’t like it-
Dad- This game was a lot of fun. The controller was a little sensitive, but it was fun to play.
Mom- Kind of strange having two people in the living room swinging their arms around at the same time- other than that I like it, can’t hit the up close balls worth a flip yet but I’m pretty good playing back field :)
Son- I don’t really like the tennis game- because it’s hard :P
Daughter- It’s okay- (Big talker isn’t she!)

Wii Internet
Well the wireless router our Brother in –Law sent over did not work- in fact it grabbed the IP of our main router and messed up our network…Poor Dale :(
So Dale went to Best buy and picked up a LAN adapter but it did not work- so I went to Nintendo.com and ordered one no Wii Online for us yet.
When on the wireless router the net would pop on and off- It was on long enough to put my points card number in- I hope we didn’t lose that info and mess up our card- Hopefully it’s stored in the Wii somewhere.
Hmmm
