Happy Father’s Day! Gaming is just as much of a father-son/daughter activity as throwing the ball around, as demonstrated in this drawing by 7-year-old Ronan Dunne Figueroa.
Proud papa Dan says:
I came home from work last Wednesday and my 7 year old son said, “Dad I made a drawing for you today at school.” He handed me this cool drawing. He and I have been playing 2 player PixelJunk over the last couple of weeks. Needless to say he likes it.
As you can tell from his drawing, his favorite towers are lasers and fire. He did include some gold coins, canons and lots of arrow towers. My favorite is how he included the monster bar at the bottom that shows which monsters are coming next.
Anyways, here’s what we read this week. Lots of (gasp!) MGS4 stuff. As always, feel free to share your favorite reads in the comments below. Comments may take longer than usual to appear – it’s Sunday, after all.

Cool, any news on Firmware 2.40?
haha sweet picture for pixeljunk, i want to see more of the PSeye game where you can draw stuff and make it move!
hopefully next week you’ll be reading peoples amazing reactions to FW 2.4? maybe? eh, maybe?
Last one on that list is the funniest.
What about Metal Gear Solid 4 selling 1.3 million in one day?
Lol, you guys must be sick of hearing 2.40 come up in every comment section. Just give us some information on it already!

Where’s firmware update 2.4?
That’s a nice Father’s Day gift. Might take me a while to read all those blogs. But MGS4 is definitely the talk of the nation. And those of you not smart enough to buy MGS4 on your own…here’s me telling you to go buy it…NOW GO!!! STOP READING THIS BLOG RIGHT NOW AND GO OUT TO THE STORE AND BUY MGS4!!! lol But seriously though you’ve wasted whatever money you put on a PS3 by not buying it. Actually had a kid come in and buy Army of Two over MGS4…i would have slapped him in the face except his mother was there…lol j/k.
I was playing MGS4 and a IM message appear and I pause the game to answer. The I said “lets check the blog if they have some surprising news for me and saw the pic your son gave to you lol. Keep those kind memories forever because those one is what make you proud to be a father so happy fathers day.
Anyway for the people asking the firmware 2.4, I think, at this moment and week of the month… if they doesn’t announce it this week then it will be around E3.
I was wondering if my story would be posted, but I guess not (and that’s okay).
I haven’t paid too close attention this week to news since MGS4 is sucking my time away. ;)
Love the links, thanks for showing love to other blog sites,I think that’s awesome! Love to see if I’ve missed anything.
How is the PixelJunk Monsters contest going? I sent in an email about it before that contest was over. It was written by my wife :)
The contest officially ended on Friday, so we\’ll be contacting winners this week.
