gaming of the boys

i think today i am going to talk about gameboys. this is for sure a pretty sweet toy for the most part. its like taking a gameing system, a tv, all the controlers, and the games and squezing them into a cute little portable box. gameboys can be taken pretty much anywhere and arent even very expensive. There are also tons and tons of games for you to play on the gameboy and a lot of accessories too. a lot of times you can even connect your gamboy with someone elses and play with( or challenge etc) them. The only problem i see with gameboys can also be seen be any gaming system or computer game... a lot of times kids can get so engrossed with it that they dont communicate with other people, lack social interaction, or get fat due to lack of physical activity. But this toy, used in moderation, can be pretty sweet for any kid. Sure gameboys might not be as sweet of a toy as they used to be and there are other devices like them, they are a classic and hold a special place in my heart.

tamagotchis are still rad

ever wanted a sweet pet but the responsibility or taking it for walks or cleaning up its mess? or maybe you are in school or live somewhere where pets are not permitted. well there is this sweet and very well known toy called the Tamagotchi. I know... I know... so 1990's... well although this toy may have lost some of its excitement and charm it is still kick ass. These cute interactive toys allow the owner to feed, play with, and teach trick to their very own virtual pet. This toy still requires some "responsibility" because the Tamagotchi is in you care, but if you forget about it for a few days its not that big of a deal. I wish i could find one of my old ones and bust it out because this toy is just so sweet.... they also have a cool website where they have a lot of cool descriptions of the different Tamagotchi variations, downloads, and even a game. As far as virtual pets go... this sweet toy rocks my socks!

twinsen

so we got this new computer quite a while ago and it came with a few games as computers often do. Well one of these games called Twinsen's Odyssey is seriously the sweetest computer game i have ever seen. It isnt violent and doesnt involve much violence. This sweet toy is more about problem solving and is very challenging. It was one of the first 3D games i had ever played so that aspect seemed even sweeter. Also it included a ton of awesome characters and places. Its starts off on a rainy island and it is for some reason twinsen's job to make it stop and eventually defeat funfrock. my cousins and i had the best time trying to gain access to more areas and reach further aspects of the game. it took us nearly two years to beat (given we were a few years younger) but i'm pretty sure if i could play it now it would still amaze me. Unfortunately this game ran best on windows 98 and because we upgraded (and technology was even less sweet as it is now) we were unable to play the game correctly and now it has gotten lost. I have been trying to aquire for this sweet toy and its sequel for ages with no avail. (at the end of the game twinsen's pregnant wife has the baby and you never get to see its little face...) So if you guys have this game lying around at home or have seen it on sale somewhere.... its called Twinsen's Odyssey and Twinsen's Odyssey II: the little big adventure... and i either highly recommend that you play it or if not maybe if you send it to me i'll throw some cash your way.... who knows? im crazy....

guess who

this sweet toy is a classic guessing game. with all of its fun and interesting characters who wouldn't love this game? the rules are simple, ask yes or no questions to figure out which person the other player has. I recieved this game as a gift recently and my friends and i have found one very useful tip for this sweet game. Instead of asking 'is your person a man' or 'is your person a woman' ask if the figure on the card has facial hair. That way if they say yes, it is obviously a man (and it eliminates a lot of other men as well as all of the women) or if they say no, you still eliminate a lot of men and can ask the man/woman question later. This sweet toy is so convenient because you can play it virtually anytime and anywhere. It doesnt take long to set up or play like so many other board games and lies flat so you can transport it easily. This sweet toy is easy for kids to understand and since the rules are so simple this sweet toy is great for all ages. any one up for a guess who tournament?

bubbles

Bubbles may be one of the sweetest toys i have ever encountered. Simple and often a byproduct of cleaning, bubbles, as toys, take on a new form. They aren't just used to wash hands or pots and pans, they are a source of enjoyment for hours and hours. packaged in those standard colorful containers with those carefully crafted wands.... magnificent. and now there are so many varieties of bubbles. non-popping bubbles, edible, flavored bubbles, those huge ones that you blow up through a straw... the list goes on and on. My favorite variation of this sweet toy would have to be the rope on a string dipped in soap method bubbles. this fun bubble maker can easily be transformed into a great family activity and is awesome for nice summer days. This method also creates the most beautiful colors and shapes i have ever seen in a bubble. and unlike so many sweet toys these days, bubbles are virtually free and can be found virtually anywhere. go on into the bathroom and try to blow a few. you know you wanna.
