She's up the duff (as they say)

Congrats. And now a very good reason to buy a Sega Pico or Beena :110:

 

Best of luck with the child. From the people I know it's a fantastic journey.

 

i think kids should start playing video games at around 10-12. I started at 6-7 and i think my childhood would have been better and more complete without it.

Nothing hurts in moderation, but you should control the thing. Don't let him/her play when s/he's too young either, kids get hooked on things way easier and harder than us.

And, of course, Congrats yak!

 

I started playing wayyy early, and look at me XD I wasnt obsessed with it until probably 5th grade, outside was still fun back then lol

 

Oh my god!

Well done mate!
See... now you have to pop back home, so I can buy you a pint!

You randy scouser!!

 

I know I'm late too, but congratulations Yakumo. I can't tell you from my own experience, but from what I hear, all the frustration and sleepless nights are well worth it in the end. Congrats

 

Nice to know the tadpols can swim. I guess it really depends on your wife's standpoint of games. My wife hates them, and thinks they're evil... but how could I have turned into such an upstanding member of society if that were true?

What's the due date?

 

Hehehe, looks like that randyness is going to have to wait for a while now :nod: :banghead: What am I going to do ???? :katamari:

Thanks again for the nice words and advice guys. The baby won't be here until about March next year. I'm kind of hoping it's a girl since boys in Japan are a pain in the arse ! or at least most of the ones I see are. There's also this very strange homoerotic vib surrounding them where they find it fun to stick fingers up each others arses or grab one another's dicks. :shrug: I have no idea what that is about. I certainly know we never did that in the UK. Oh, yeah I forgot ! Hard Gay is an idol to almost every boy I've ever met :drool: When asked why they say he's interesting then mimic him h: :110:

Yakumo

 

Yakumo: are you going to make him/her learn English ? Or are you thinking of beginning speaking English to him ? so he/she becomes bilingual ? I know it is a strange question to ask, but since then he/she can get in front of other people (meaning it could have an edge to it) . Well, it is all up to you, but I am just wondering

 

That kid is gunna be great no matter what, living in Japan, and daddy-o isnt originally from Japan = Ultimate Pimpmaster Yakumo Jr. You have created a monster Yakumo. Maybe you should name em Saturn lol.

 

Congrats! :thumbsup:

I would prolly advise that one parent speaks Japanese while the other speaks English, to get them better adjusted to 2 languages. That's how it was done with me for French.

Hell, do whatever you please...

 

We are going to raise the child to be bilingual. I'll probably speak in English to it most of the time because I'm a lazy sod :lol: I only ever use Japanese when speaking to Japanese people who aren't my friends or at work. Sometimes though I use Japanese when speaking to a western person (most of us speak Japanese anyway) because it's easier than using the English equivalent.

The child will have a dual nationality as well. So if the shit ever does hit the fan with world war III, it will be able to decide which country it would rather live in legally.

Yakumo

 

:-O Congratulations Mark!!! Great news!! Hopefully you'll still have a chance to come back to England so we can buy you a drink!!

If it's a boy, will you name it "Mark II"?! (j/k!!)

Awesome!! Speak soon!!

I think having a son would be terror once they get to the age they can ride a bicycle. That was the case w/ me. I went to the emergency room all the time.

 

*brain farts*

 

Hey, Congratulations!

 

Nah, I'll call it Mark III after the Sega console :dance:

Yakumo

 

Sir, I am a bit late but I congratulate you profusely.

Best of luck.

It's a really happy ocassion to see a sequel in the Yakumo saga.

 

Yeah, one of those serie that needed a sequel, just like NiGTHS do.

:lol:
