I don’t understand how shouting “Hide, hide!” to your friends through a video game is considered “fun.” I don’t understand how it can alter their minds so much that they would literally do anything to get “just five more minutes”. I don’t understand why it has taken a vice grip on the attention and adoration of my sons and all of their friends and friends of their friends. Though I’m sure there are some of those underlying themes lurking around in here somewhere. On my part this isn’t a moral debate about guns or video games or age limits or restrictions. It is, in my opinion, a personality changer for kids not yet mature enough to handle mortal combat. It is, however, the most mesmerizing and child captivating thing since Pokemon Go.

The good news is that our yard will be forever clean of dog poop.Ĭlearly after watching this game for 10 minutes we realized that, unlike how it was sold, this is no typical “hide and seek” game. You’ll stick with FIFA and like it.”Īnd then the whining, bargaining and begging began, breaking us down one negotiation at a time. So when our children started to beg us to add this game, this innocent little hide and seek game called Fortnite, to the Xbox, our instant reaction was “oh heck no. Our oldest is one of the last hold outs in fifth grade without a phone, none of us have iPads, and we aren’t generally video game people, despite having an Xbox. Call us Amish, make jokes about our kids doing math on Abacuses (is that even how you say that or is the plural Abacusi? We need to know these things). ![]() We are not advanced over here.īut even more than for ourselves, we hold very strong beliefs about children and technology. I mean, I just got an iPhone 7 after my 5 just couldn’t anymore, and I was mad about it. We revel in our anti-technology stance, not just for our children, but ourselves as well. If you know us personally, you might be just a little bit surprised that we have fallen into this gigantic hole of humanity that Fortnite has caused. In my defense, I was so naive I had no idea what I was getting us into. Do you want to know why?īecause I let that curse of a game called “Fortnite” into my household. But, like most parents, I had absolutely nothing to do with any of these injuries.

But the change of manager seems to have sparked them a little bit. Postecoglou said: “They had a little bit of a disrupted start to the season. His replacement, Marco Rose, has led Leipzig to two commanding home wins in the Bundesliga, against Borussia Dortmund and Bochum, either side of a 3-0 away defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach. “It doesn’t mean the challenge is getting any easier, because Leipzig away is a pretty tough challenge, but now it’s about really wanting us to be present at that stage, to be competitive at that stage and growing every time we’re out there.”Ĭeltic have a point more than Leipzig, who lost to two late goals in Spain after a 4-1 home defeat by Shakhtar ultimately cost Domenico Tedesco his job. “I guess for the players, that initial excitement in the first game, the buzz of being in the Champions League, particularly here at home playing against Real Madrid was fantastic, but now we’ve done that, it’s about ‘let’s make an impact at that level’. ![]() Now the challenge for us is to grow every time we’re out there. “But it’s just great to be performing at that level again and it’s where the club needs to be, wants to be.
