The Sims Life and Death Expansion Pack

The Sims 4 Life & Death Expansion Pack

I’ve been playing The Sims since the beginning when I was in my late 20’s. I’ve never actually allowed my Sims to die because I wanted to work hard on getting them at the top of their career and make millions of simoleons without using any cheats, and be able to afford a nice house big enough to be comfortable. I also didn’t want to have to start over every time with either the same character, or a new character.

I have every expansion for the original Sims game for Windows XP. I skipped over The Sims 2 because I was hooked on MMORPG games, but I did play The Sims 2 Pets on PSP. Then I bought The Sims 3 for PC and have quite a bit of expansions and other packs. I actually bought that just before The Sims 4 came out, so I didn’t buy The Sims 4 until it was available for the PS4. I have every expansion except for Lovestruck. I have every game pack and every stuff pack and I have maybe 6 or 7 kits.

I couldn’t play The Sims 4 on my PS4 for too long because I don’t know if it was because I had bought too many expansions and packs, but my PS4 was having trouble with overheating. That’s actually the reason I didn’t want it for my PC because I knew it would cause my computer to become slow and I also knew if I bought a new computer, I would forget to save everything and have to start all over again. I’m not having any trouble playing the game on my PS5, so I’ve been playing every day.

The concept of death was still not something I was wanting to go through, but I think I’m ready with this new expansion coming because of the whole rebirth feature. I will get to go on a soul journey and create a bucket list and have unfinished business and have powers as a ghost and finally be able to either move on, or be reborn.

My Sims have adopted a child, so I think what I would like to do is turn aging on and let their lives play out so the child can grow to be an adult and then have children of her own and then eventually have my adult Sims be reborn as her children or grandchildren, depending on when my Sims die and finish their soul journey. Then I can see my Sims grow up from a baby back to adult and then continue for generations.

If it’s taking too long to achieve certain goals, I can always turn aging off until I can successfully reach my goals. It’s sometimes difficult to get things done because the whole day lasts for 24 minutes, but actually less because I fast forward until they wake up.

PlayStation trophies for The Sims 4

Generations is a PlayStation trophy I never thought I would ever get because I was so stubborn about not wanting to give up my Sims family who are based on my life partner and myself. So now I can see how the generations will play out and hopefully eventually have all of the Sims PlayStation trophies. I look forward to the day when I can finally finish that. Maybe that’s my soul journey.

This is actually the first time I’m buying a new expansion pack when it first comes out. I’ve been buying all of the expansions, game and stuff packs only when they were on sale because I can’t really afford to pay hundreds of dollars for a game. But I’m really excited about this particular one, so I pre-ordered it for the PlayStation. This will be available on October 31st, so that’ll be a nice Halloween gift for myself.

Are you playing The Sims 4? Let me know if you are buying this new expansion pack and how you like the game.

The Sims 4 on PlayStation 5 Infants

On By Michel McDonaldIn GamesLeave a comment

I started playing The Original Sims when it first came out. I was in my late 20’s back then. I didn’t play around with kids because I wanted to focus on playing with regular adult Sims because it was just easier. I always focus on what’s easier, and believe me it was difficult enough just to take care of one Sim let alone two Sims and a baby.

From what I understand, the infants is a brand new thing for The Sims 4. Apparently it came in a game update. Here is what I found on Game Rant.

Since The Sims 4 was first released, a common complaint was that babies were essentially objects. They are restricted to their bassinets and have limited options for interacting with other Sims and the world around them. However, the Sims teams freed the babies with a life stage called Infants that came in a base game update on March 14, 2023.

So I am more than a year late to this, but I didn’t want to mess with infants or children in general because it’s a huge timesuck away from my other Sims. The reason I decided that I wanted to try children this time was because I’m pretty bored with my Sims. One of them is at the top of his career and has been for quite some time and he keeps getting raises even though he’s already at level 10 of his career. And he only works 2 days a week. The other one is still working on career because I wasn’t focused on him as much as I was the original Sim. But I decided to get him started on his career.

I didn’t actually get any Sims pregnant considering they’re both men and I didn’t want to have to go through a pregnancy. It’s possible, because I know that men in this game can have babies, I just didn’t want to do that. I was tempted to have a science baby on the computer, but saw there was an option to adopt and I chose that option. There were lots of children who were teenagers or just children in general, but I saw there were a couple of infants and I thought I’ll just do one of the infants because I wanted to start with a baby because of the milestones.

So apparently infants have these milestones that you have to go through. I don’t want to age the baby up to toddler until I’ve gone through all of these milestones. I’ve completed most of these, but I still need to learn to crawl, stand and dance. I’m having a lot of trouble with the crawling part, but I know she’ll get there eventually.

The main reason I decided to start this whole new Quest is because I bought the high school years expansion pack and I wanted to see a Sim child grow up from infant to teenager in high school and then go to university. I’ve had the university one for a long time, but I’ve never actually sent a sim to University, so now that I have the high school, I’ll be able to do all of the stages of childhood, and all of the schools.

Another reason is because of the trophies. I don’t think that I’ll ever be able to get all of the trophies available for this game in the PlayStation trophy section, but I won’t ever get them if I don’t ever play certain characters or certain scenarios.

I have never played more than one generation, I don’t know why. So this baby will give me the option or the chance to start doing that. I don’t want to age my current Sims that have adopted this baby, but I will age this baby to adult and then have that adult get married and have children and then eventually their children will have children and so on and so forth. I will have all of these generations live and die, but my original two Sims are going to still live. I don’t know if that makes sense, but these Sims are based on my life partner and I, and I don’t want to lose them. Other Sims of different generations are one thing, but I don’t want my two Sims to age and die.

This is my Sims 4 game along with the trophies that I have. I haven’t been focusing on completing trophy goals because I’ve just been playing my Sims. I started playing The Sims 4 on my PlayStation 4, but the more expansion, game and stuff packs I bought, the slower the PlayStation became. Oh and it was overheating too. That was originally the reason I got it on my PlayStation instead of my computer because I knew it would slow down my computer too much.

I stopped playing anything on my PlayStation 4 because of the overheating issue. I eventually got the PlayStation 5 and decided to take a chance of installing the Sims 4 on it and everything that I bought just to see if it would be too slow or too much on the PlayStation, but it seems to be fine. I haven’t really had any issues of it being too slow or hearing the fan blowing so hard that it might take off into outer space. I also have my PlayStation sitting on top of a thing that has a fan that blows the hot air out the back.

I have all but the last two expansions, all of the stuff packs and all of the game packs. I have maybe six or eight of the kits, but I haven’t gotten them all because those are never on sale. All of the expansions, game and stuff packs that I’ve bought, I only bought them when they were on sale. I’ll only get a kit if it interests me or if it has something to do with something that I’m currently working on. Eventually I’ll get those last two expansions, but for now I don’t want to spend the money. I think Black Friday or Christmas sales will be when I buy them.

Anyway, I’m working on this infant character and I look forward to seeing how it all works out with the generations and trophies.

Charging Station for PlayStation 5

On By Michel McDonaldIn Games, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Ok so I couldn’t help it lol. I bought a charging station for my new PlayStation 5 that’s going to be here soon.

My motivation for buying this was because of my experience with my PlayStation 4 overheating. This will suck the hot air away from the PlayStation from the bottom and push the hot air out through the back of the charging station.

It will also allow me to charge my controller in the same station so I won’t have it sitting around with a charging cable. It will also charge my controller(s) to full in 2.5 hours and it has overcharge protection. Of course I’ll most likely only have 1 game controller… For now lol.

It also has a charging hub in the front to allow me to charge additional devices. I’m hoping it will also work for media transfer, because you plug the charging station into the PlayStation 5 via USB cable. I’ll find out when it arrives, and I’ll update this if yea or nay.

I’m always super excited when I get a new toy.

Playstation 5!!!

On By Michel McDonaldIn GamesLeave a comment

Well, I finally got my hands on a new PlayStation 5. I’ve waited for years to buy one when none were available, and now they are in stock on Amazon, so I bought one.

I don’t exactly have $500 to spend, so I am going to pay for it over the next 12 months interest free with my Amazon Prime Rewards Visa credit card. I also bought the 2 year warranty, so the final total per month is actually going to be $50.

My PlayStation 4 is still fine to play with, with the exception of an issue I’m having with it getting too hot when the screen is too white. That doesn’t make sense to me, but that’s when it gets too hot. When the screen is a lot darker, the fan runs quieter, but as soon as I’m playing on a white screen, typically with snow, or a bright sky in a video game, the fan sounds like the PlayStation is trying to take flight. I went to YouTube for instructions on how to dust the inside of it, but I don’t have the screwdriver required to unscrew the screws, nor do I have the confidence that I won’t break the entire system, so I just bought a new one.

It’s been several years that I’ve had this problem and basically I’ve just stopped playing with my PlayStation because I’m afraid it’s going to get too hot and it might blow up lol. I’ve seen videos of cell phones smoking and or blowing up from being too hot, and I don’t want that to happen.

My PS4 only has 500gb and the new PS5 has 1tb, actually 800gb of actual hard drive space I can use. That extra 300gb is awesome so I can have more games installed.

One positive thing with this new PlayStation 5 is that it is backwards compatible, which means I can install my PlayStation 4 games and use my PlayStation 4 game saves so I won’t lose any progress on any games that I’ve played. Also, I can actually play new games that are coming out that are only available for the PlayStation 5.

The games that I have installed on my PlayStation 4 are Minecraft, Terraria, The Elder Scrolls Online, Destiny 2, The Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga and Lego The Hobbit. I have the Sims 4, but that really makes the PlayStation get too hot, so it will be nice to play that again.

I look forward to playing video games again.

My Elder Scrolls Online addiction vs. EverQuest

On By Michel McDonaldIn EverQuest, Games, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have had this game on my PlayStation 4 for probably 5 or more years, and I played it here and there over the years, but I never really got into it because I didn’t really understand the mechanics of the game.

Last month they introduced the 10 year anniversary of Skyrim and I bought it because I had played Elder Scrolls Online, and I wanted to see what Skyrim was like. It’s basically the same thing, but not an MMO.

The introduction of the 10 year anniversary of Skyrim made me decide that I wanted to at least try to play Elder Scrolls Online again to give it a chance, but my problem was I had too many quests going and I was kind of confused about what I was supposed to do. So I thought, let me go to Coldharbour and finish that quest which ended with me killing Molag Bal. Then it started Cadwell’s Silver, then Cadwell’s Gold which are basically the other factions. But I hadn’t finished my factions quests, so I went on a mission to finish that. It was all so confusing to me, but now I get it.

My necromancer character Ilren.

My website’s name Xanapus comes from a game very similar to Elder Scrolls Online called EverQuest, which I played for about 6 years. ESO is similar to EQ, but also very different. Like we had to download maps for EverQuest, Elder Scrolls Online have their own maps already in the game, and they have markers on the maps that tell you where everything is so you don’t have to guess. They also give you more information like what you have completed on that map, and it has a zone guide.

EverQuest didn’t really have a quest diary or journal like this when I was playing. You literally had to print the quests out and write on the paper to check things off on the quest list to keep track of your progress. I literally have a notebook with hundreds of pages in it lol. Elder Scrolls Online keeps track of everything for you, and even tells you what to do next. And they mark things on your compass which gives you the direction of the person you need to speak to or the item you have to loot or the direction of the place you need to go to.

One thing that I really love about Elder Scrolls online is that I can use a game controller. I wanted to use a game controller so bad with EverQuest, but I could never figure it out with game controllers that I bought for PC way back when. They just never worked for me and were a complete waste of money.

I still have EverQuest installed on my computer and I see that they have a quest Journal now. It’s a bit different from Elder Scrolls Online, but at least they have one. The map is pretty much the same as when I last played the game, but I did notice that they have more continents because they have so many more expansion packs than they used to.

Also the thing that really bothers me about EverQuest is that they disable most of your gear if you’re not paying a monthly fee. Elder Scrolls Online has a monthly fee service that allows you to play all of their expansions, but if you don’t pay for it, they don’t disable your gear. In order to play the expansions, you have to pay for them, which I honestly don’t mind. I’d rather not have a monthly fee. I bought 21000 Crowns which are normally $149.99 for $89.99 during their Christmas sale and I used the crowns to buy some expansions.

Another thing about EverQuest is that you had to buy spells, then memorize them to put them into your spell book, then you had to add the spell gems to the spell gems slots. With Elder Scrolls Online, you just buy your spells with skill points and those spells upgrade the more you add skill points to them.

And I love that I’m getting epic gear for rewards and I can upgrade those epic gear items to legendary with crafting if I had the components. In EverQuest you had to do so many quests and crafting for so many hours, days, even weeks or months to get 1 epic and it was a weapon. In ESO all my gear can be epic or legendary, not just my weapons.

Oh another thing is that the quests are always your level, no matter what level you are. In EverQuest if I went back to do a level 4 quest and I’m level 50, I don’t really get a good reward because the reward is a level 4 reward. Which makes it feel like you’ve wasted so much time. No matter what level I am in ESO, the rewards are always worth it, and if they’re not, then I can deconstruct the item to get the materials for crafting.

I’m not trying to mansplain, I’m just really excited about playing this game and I just wanted to talk about it. I don’t have anyone to talk about it because no one I know plays this game.

The Sims 4 for PS4

The Sims™ 4 for PlayStation 4

I’ve been playing The Sims since they began in the late 1990’s on my very old and so long gone first computer that had less than a 1GB hard drive. I started with the original Sims, played The Sims 2 Pets on my PSP and have played The Sims 3 on my PC, then The Sims 4 on my PC and when it came out for the PlayStation 4, I couldn’t help but want to buy it because I spend most of my gaming time on my PS4. My current PC is only a couple of years old and has way more ram than my last PC, so I could play it on my computer, but I still prefer to play it with a game controller.

I can’t recall when The Sims 4 came to the PS4, but I had pre-ordered it and I played it a lot, but then I kind of got bored, which happens with The Sims games. I mean, it does get boring and I can only take small doses of it before I have to take a break from it, but I get bored easily, and it’s not just this game, it’s pretty much every game I’ve ever played. Although, I did play EverQuest for 6 years straight, every day for 12 to 14 hours a day. Every. Day! But that’s not a single player game, so I was playing with other people which made it less boring.

But when I bought the PS4 version, I only bought the Vampires game pack because I couldn’t really afford to buy any of the other expansions, game and stuff packs. I eventually bought some when they were on sale, but I can only afford to buy so many. I have pretty much stayed away from the game until there was a sale and then I played for a bit with the new content. The Sims have been on sale recently and I couldn’t pass up some of the savings.

The Sims™ 4

As you can see only expansions are 50% on the PS4, while they are all 50% on PC. I did get a better deal with the bundles though. One bundle had an expansion included and 3 stuff packs, the other was an expansion with a stuff pack and then I also bought an additional expansion for 50% off and a game pack at 25% off.

Update: Since I posted this, I have bought even more expansion packs, game packs and stuff packs, so I’ve updated the image. I will keep updating the image as I buy new packs. Ok another update, I bought everything because they were on sale again on September 4th. I am just missing Eco, but I will wait for the day that is on sale. I am going to buy the Star Wars game pack when that comes out on September 8th.

My character (seen in the top) is based off of me, but not totally because he looks like me from a well, a skinnier time, and I still made him fat, but he is still skinnier than me lol. I gave him glasses, but for some reason when I changed all of his outfits, his glasses disappeared and I can’t seem to find them. But his looks and no glasses aren’t that big of a deal.

He was a vampire, because I wanted to play him that way, but when I bought these expansions, I wanted to take away that curse and just make him human again. The first week of not being a vampire was really difficult. I couldn’t get him to sleep in the bed for more than 6 minutes at a time (6 seconds real time) because of the restlessness from being a vampire, or whatever the term was. But he’s all better now. I really wanted him to be human again so I could take him on vacations to the islands and not have him burst into flames and die lol. I thought being a vampire was fun, but it was very restricting to my game play.

Anyway, we’ll see how long this lasts until I get bored again, and then wait for the next sale where I will probably end up buying all the rest of what I missed this time around. Who knows, maybe I’ll get my character a mate and we will raise kids. Maybe. MAYBE!

Fallout Shelter

On By Michel McDonaldIn GamesLeave a comment

I have been addicted to Fallout Shelter lately. I played it several years ago on my Android cell phone, but I couldn’t keep my vault dwellers alive, and I was frustrated by the amount of caps it was costing me every time I had to bring them back to life, so I literally saved my game to the cloud and uninstalled the game from my phone. I figured when I felt like I could play the game better, then I would come back.

Recently I discovered they brought Fallout Shelter to the PlayStation 4 and I decided I would try the game out again on the bigger screen where I was playing with a game controller and not my fingers. The first couple of days I was doing pretty good, but then just like on the mobile version I started having a bit of a problem with not enough water and power being generated and my dwellers started dying from the radiation, I guess from lack of water. I don’t know how they got radiation, but OK. But, I just kept playing and suddenly they stopped dying and I was actually doing better than I did on the mobile version.

I’ve gotten a lot better at the game and I watched some videos here and there telling you how you should do your layout for your vault, and they showed me some things I didn’t know about the game, and so I went from there. Here is a screenshot of just the top of my vault.

Fallout Shelter Top Floors Layout

I decided to place 4 power plant rooms side by side on 2 floors, and then on the right side of both floors are the strength centers where the dwellers train their strength for working in the power plants. Below the power plant rooms are the water treatment rooms with the weapons center rooms which train their perception for working in the water treatment rooms.

Do you see a trend? See, the vault dwellers have SPECIAL which stand for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. So on the right side I have 2 training rooms for each of those SPECIAL’s and on the left side of the training rooms are the actual rooms that use those abilities. Here, you can see the map I created in Open Office for building my vault. The little rooms with the numbers are elevators. I numbered the ones on the left so I would know how many floors I used. I’ve actually just made an 18th floor for my PS4 vault because I needed more storage.

2018-08-20

There is a good reason I put in the elevators between the rooms. If you put rooms close together, and later you decide you need to get rid of one, and it has a room beside it, the game won’t let you remove the room because there are 2 rooms touching. You can get rid of the room on the end, but that might be the room you want to keep, and you’ll have to get rid of that room too just to get rid of the room you wanted to get rid of to begin with. You can remove a room if it is between 2 elevators.

Anyway, use it, or don’t, it’s entirely up to you. It is your vault after all. I just thought I would share how I created mine.

Fallout

I watch a LOT of videos on YouTube. I mean I will sit here the entire day watching YouTube on my PlayStation 4 from when I wake up until my shows come on, then again before I go to bed. I’ve pretty much stopped playing video games to focus my attention on watching YouTube.

Most of the videos that I watch are recommended based on my viewing habits which are from searching for specific videos. I do search occasionally for video game gameplay videos, try saying that 3 times fast. I’m sure you could do it.

So one of the videos that was recommended to me a few days ago was the video I posted at the top of this blog post that was about Fallout 76. I haven’t actually searched for any Fallout gameplay videos, but I think because I do search for gameplay videos, they probably automatically recommend anything video game related to me anyway.

I watched the video and discovered that they had released Fallout Shelter on the PlayStation 4. I had no idea they did that, so naturally when I finished watching the video I downloaded the game and have been playing it a lot. I actually had Fallout Shelter on my Android cell phone when it originally came out, but I became frustrated with it because my characters kept dying and I couldn’t control the situation, so I gave up. Well, I tried again and after the 3rd day things started going bad for me, but luckily they started getting better and my Fallout Shelter is doing quite well.

Fallout Shelter PS4

Yesterday I was playing for a bit and I thought, you know, I didn’t give Fallout 4 enough of a chance, so let me search for some Fallout 4 videos, and I found a series from theRadBrad. I watched the first 2 videos and decided to go ahead and download the game and all the expansions I had purchased as well. I actually bought the season pass which entitled me to all expansions, so that was a good idea. While that downloaded last night I watched more videos and it helped me figure out what I was actually supposed to do in the game. Today I started playing it and thankfully I started right where I originally left off last year and thankfully so because I did not want to have to go through that all over again. And I had some gear that I was finally able to equip. I didn’t understand how to do that the last time for some odd reason. See, I didn’t even give it a chance, and now my character is fully clothed lol.

Falloput 4 gas mask

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t get a picture of him in the center of the screen, but that’s fine. Oh and theRadBrad also taught me something I didn’t know before, that there is a game inside the shelter that is a Fallout replica of Donkey Kong and it’s called Red Menace. It’s hilarious, but I only saw 2 levels of the game, so it’s not as exciting lol.

Fallout 4 Red Menace

Anyway, I do look forward to playing Fallout 76 when it comes out and I want to actually finish Fallout 4 before that happens. I have all the expansions they ever came out with, so it’s probably gonna take awhile, but I’ll do my best. Wish me luck!

Gamer for Life

Video Games over the years

When I was going through the garage in December to bring the Christmas boxes in the house, I came across our old Atari 2600, so I brought it in and sat it on our dining room table. I brought it in because I wanted to see if it actually worked, and naturally, I couldn’t find the power plug, so that’s a no. So I dusted it off so I could take a picture so I could tell you this story.

I was born in 1970, and the Atari 2600 came out in the late 70’s. My step father bought one, but kept it attached to the living room TV and wouldn’t let anyone play with it, so it sat there doing nothing. We would go to our cousins who had an Atari 5200, which in my opinion was way superior. Eventually in 1983 my step father put it in my bedroom, which was a walk in closet. Being “in the closet” took on a whole new literal meaning.

That was a decision I bet my parents would regret because I became unhealthily addicted to Pac-Man. Every level was the same exact level, the grid never changed. Here is how the game looked and sounded.

Moving right along…

We moved away from our apartment in 1984 to my aunts house in Simi Valley, and my beloved Atari was put in storage and I never saw it again. My cousins would eventually get a Nintendo Entertainment System, and they were 3 kids who all fought over it, and I wasn’t about to get into that fight because it was THEIR system, not mine. I decided that I didn’t really want to have anything more to do with video games until we were stable, so I didn’t want to play. They invited me to play Popeye, and I tried it once, but I didn’t care to invest my energy because I never knew if/when we would move away and I would have it taken away from me.

We did move away and into trailer parks where I played video games at their consoles in game rooms with quarters. I also had a little digital game that could fit into my pocket called Epoch Man that I enjoyed. I also had a Pac-Man watch with a joystick, so as far as I was concerned, I was set.

When I was 22 years old I got a Sega Game Gear with my 2nd boyfriend. We both bought them and we each had our own games. When he eventually broke up with me and I had to leave my apartment because I lost my job and didn’t even have money for food, I sold it at a pawn shop for a measly $20 for the entire package, including a case, several games and a TV tuner. That’s why I don’t have a picture.

When I was 24 years old I got a Nintendo Game Boy, which I still have with 1 game. We were always too broke for food and cigarettes for me, so every time we needed money, one game had to make a sacrifice, which is probably why I hoard games now lol. The Game Boy in its case along with a external battery that clips on to your belt as well as a cleaner disk is pictured above.

Some time in the early 2000’s, I had a website from a hosting company that gave me the option of selling web hosting to people. People would pay me the full price, and I would make a small profit every month. One of the hosting customers asked me if he could pay me for his hosting by selling me his Nintendo 64, and I said yes because I had always wanted one of those. I had a couple of games, but I did eventually sell it several years ago on eBay because I needed the money. It was fun playing it though.

I had played computer video games on my Apple //e in 1990-1992 when I had to sell that system. The one game I really had was King’s Quest 4 The Perils of Rosella. When I bought my computer in 1997, I found several Sierra game collections and bought them. I also played The Sims in 2000 and then in 2002 I started playing EverQuest and I played that for 6 years until 2008, which brings me to the PlayStation years.

In 2007 I bought a PlayStation Portable, aka PSP. I bought and still have 32 physical game UMD’s, and I don’t even know how many game downloads. I played that game so much that the power button barely turns it on anymore, and when it does turn on, the stick doesn’t work because when I try to go right, my character says “F you! I’m going left.”

In 2015 my partner bought me a PlayStation 4 for Christmas. I had asked for a PlayStation 3 because I thought it would be less expensive, but he insisted that if he was going to buy me a game system, he was going to buy brand new, not used, and it might as well be the most current system. Hey, I’m OK with pre-owned at Game Stop. Then I broke my leg in December 2016 and couldn’t play with my PS4  because I couldn’t sit straight up, so he took me to Game Stop in my wheelchair to buy me a PS Vita, which they had to order for me to be delivered to our house via UPS. I haven’t played with the PS Vita as much as I played with my PSP, but I do still play with it when I am not in my bedroom, which is where I play with my PS4 daily.

So that’s about it. That is my video game history. I have always been a gamer since I was a kid, and I will always be a gamer until the day I die.

By the way, the Atari 2600 you see in the picture above is NOT the same one from my childhood. My partner had that when we met.

Also note that I have also played video games on my smart phones over the years as well as my Nook HD+.
