Mt kids built a parkor course on minecraft last week and asked me to give it a try. After 20 minutes with an Xbox controller I still had not made it up the stairs to start the challenge. I stalked away in disgust mumbling something about building an easy to play video game and went to the garage and doubled the effort of building my cab. Yes the new games are more difficult and more challenging but at the end of the day my kids are faster, smarter and more computer literate than I ever was and I have an excuse to be out in the garage trying to get ASTRO BLASTER to start up.

You young kids with your fancy video games!
Why when I was a kid a barrel hoop and a stick was a great challenge, and for the less athletic kids on the block, a tin can could take several late afternoons of practice to master.
It aint as easy as it looks kicking that can in a straight line, I tell you what!
But the real challenge was knucklebones (you kids of today probably know that game as "jacks").
That game was reserved for the real players.
