Being A Dad In The World Of Gaming

 I have two kids. A five year old son and a few month old daughter. I also have 5 million games to play and write about. I have little to no time to balance both. My kids are my world. I love them to death. My 5 year old is getting into gaming with Mario, Plants Vs Zombies and Minecraft. I think it's awesome. What it means is that the games I am playing are mostly easy. (And frustrating if you have ever had a toddler throw you off a cliff in Super Mario 3D World). *it's not all smiles when your child tosses you to your death So when I get that ever so rare time to play a new game (without falling asleep in traditional dad fashion) I am SO ready to play something with a challenge or more adult. I will bring on a Dark Souls or DOOM Eternal and I realize that it's almost WAY too much. Going from happy go lucky jumping to adrenaline filled decapitations can be pretty jarring. I have all of a sudden lost my ability to do anything other than jump on blocks and throw turtle shells...
