Hello all. I just wanted to start a thread on memories of my (kid ack).
Note: I love my children to death, but they sure do mess my gaming up sometimes.
Followed are accounts of my children (5) yrs old and (2)yrs old.
Please feel free to tell your accounts.......
1. My five year old always comes in (usually while im on a noe mission) and wants me to set his x-box up for something he cant read. (after going afk I get killed by a number guy or turn my plane into a pby).
2. My 2 year old daughter took the speaker plug(that is unplugged due to my headset) and stuck it in a usb port, automatically sending me into windows with a bunch of red stuff going on.....
3. My 2 year old loves to hit the big button on the batterey back up multiplugg!(shutting down everything), she is so little but she knows that button makes daddy MAD!
4. Both children seem to know EXACTLY where the windows button is...
Like i said, I love my children! Being a 4 year player with toddlers is hard , not only knits, rooks and auto guns, now (KID ACK) is hitting me harder than anything... This thread is a vent for me, and I hope you all let your KID ACK be known...
Will start a thread next month on wife ack! Thanks TUK 151 , Co 13MPG.. :salute

What's your address? I'd like to send your kid a cookie every time he does this.
My 9 month old likes to hold onto my feet so I can't input rudder.

Ty shuffler, Like i said this is a thread just for funny stories about kid vs. AH. I hope to hear some good ones.... :salute

Mt 8 year old wants me to build him a simpit. He waits til I'm just upping from a base to tap me on the shoulder to trade places in mine all the time now. This is why I wish 8 player would come back. If be able to show him how to play a lot more often. His first kill was stangs la from a mustang when he woke up in the middle of the night and saw I was still playing the game and wanted to trade places in the pit.

Talk to SHawk about disabling the windows key. :)

I have heard rumors of popping the {Windows} keys off the keyboard.. However my keyboard is illuminated and cost me much denaro..... tuk151
-
There's Wife ack, kid ack, cat ack, dog ack, pesky neighbor ack, and the long distance phone call from a family member ack.
It all strikes at the worst possible moment. It's all like that pilot wound blackout you get just as your starting to flare out for your landing.
-
LMAO, thats great shifty !, Keep venting, reminds me about phone ack! :salute

google i hate this key and download it. you can disable any key during the game. trust me it has lowered my kills by allot due to not being able to hit it and go strait to windows

to know its bad when the kid ack gives u a check 6 before letting loose .

You could try turning off the game, and the kids x-box and enjoying a family outing.
If that pans out for the better, let me know. I will take some of my own advice lol

HMM... Family outings=98% of my life, If i want a start a thread on the lil bit of AH i play, just let me. Wasn' asking for a psychic evaluation... :mad:
-
Don't worry i see the humor side of your post that you intended it to be.
Fortunately for me when I started playing AH my daughter was old enough to do most everything on her own and understand that she should leave the computer alone when someone else is on it. I do however remember when I was taking my EMT course, she was 3 years old and saw me marking several impiortant sections off in my text book with a highlighter. Well while I was off getting something to drink she thought it would be cool to mark somethings off too, making my studying later on a little more interesting.
The worst ack I get now though is dog ack when he tries to crawl under the desk and pulls out the stick and headset from their USB ports. For some reason you have to log before plugging them back in otherwise they won't work.
-
Kid ack, from 2 kids? Amatuer.
-

It won't break it if you're gentle, just stick the key in a drawer and you'll be able to stick it back on if you ever need it.
My G-15 keyboard has a 'windows key disable switch'. It's groovey. I can hammer away at the key all day and it never boots me back to windows.

Ok steve how many you have, 3,4,5,6,? :salute
Come on, I know you have stories!

There is nothing in life better then coming home from work and playing with your kids.
A million times I took the bats, gear, and bucket of balls, out the field to practice baseball with my guy. Nothing is better then that and my only regret is that the time went so fast. The videos I made of his first T-ball teams are just priceless.
So savor these times Tuk. They will never happen again. :salute

Wow. Guys, my intent of this thread was to tell stories of how kids can interrupt game play, and the ways they do it. I hope i didnt come across as a parent that locks kids in closet and playes aces high. I am coach, and sponser of tee-ball and i have a backseat full of baby seats+ BOOSTER SEATS. Built my son a go-cart track with banking in the corners. No need for me to explain my parenting skills. I do see your intentions, as advice from people who's kids are grown up, and older than mine. Thanks for your comments and pleae remember that this thread was meant to be some-what comical.. Thanks tuk

Option 1: tell your wife or significant whatever to watch the kids before your head explodes and the paychecks stop coming in.

I try not to log on at all until after they're all asleep (except on squad night). If I end up playing while they're awake, I spend more than half of the time afk... which is fine since I don't fly. Just turn the engine off & leave.
Have three boys; if they ask me for anything I always stop to get it for them. Sometimes I do say "Hang on sweetie, Mommy's trying to kill someone first."

Can kid ack count as your 18 year old brother turning off the computer, then whoopin your arse after you try to fight him away?
:rock :rock :lol

Mine aren't there yet...but I've learned that kid ack is the most important ack around. It is the real deal...if it starts just shut down the machine and go outside and play with them.
I did this on Saturday...kids just wouldn't let up (although I wasn't flying AH I was surfing on the net). Finaly I got up and went outside and kicked a ball around with them....which is really what they wanted the whole time. We had a great time.

I would give up six kingdoms to have a mother who understands ACM.
Parents, I posit that thou art doing it wrong. Given the modest requirements of the Aces High II client, I suggest that you build a few cheap computers and hook them up to your home network, and then ask your kids if they would like to help mommy or daddy pwn n00bs. Never leave base without a rear gunner again! :devil Fun for the whole family!

"Hang on sweetie, Mommy's trying to kill someone first."
That should be your new sig :lol

I dont know who gets more food on the keys,,, me or the kids... :lol

I dug out my old Athlon 2800XP for my 4 year old, he plays Transformers, Red Baron (Arcade), and Star Wars Battlefront II on it. He is keen on AH already, including flying with the headset (but it's a little loose on his head right now).
-
Wow, man.
I can't even consider jumping on if my little man is loose in the house. If I'm on, my son is either snoring or spending some time out time in his crib because he's been whining (usually yields a nap, ;) ).
Wife ack is one thing- if I forgot to fulfill my obligation around the house, I hear about it, and have to log. Generally it's a simple matter of taking care of what needs doin', and then it's back to flying.
But when the little man is up, he can't stand to be 10 feet away from me, or if he is, he's doing his best Evil Kaneival impression on the kitchen table, with the oven, the dishwasher, anything electric..... he's busy :)

i suffer from KITTY ACK. her food dish is on the same desk as the computer screen and after she eats till she pukes and im yellin 'youhandsomehunk cat' to her sitting in front of the screen during NOE or trying to gun someone down in my B17s. TO her rubbin her head against my hands wanting me to pet her. ALL forms of ack occur and all we can do is laugh it off and continue playing with smile on our facesl
-

Im a Teen and when my cousins Come round they Hijack my joystick and send me into a hillside lol.
And i also have a Problem its called PARROT ACK when youve got a cockatiel chewing your headset u swat it and BAM im dead
lol

When my daughter was 9-10 months old she used to help me a lot. Reach out and jerk the stick back, ripping the wings off my zero, hit the Big Blue button on the X52 and self-destruct in Mech Warrior 4 drops with 20 other players. She even undocked in Eve for me once. In LowSec where I was hiding from several "friends" :furious
Now she's just turning 4 and most of the time if I'm playing she is on her own computer playing her own games (now you know why I am restricted to the laptop most of the time). Honestly, I miss her sitting with me and helping :frown:

I'd agree here Dk. When I was home from college several years ago, my mom's dog came tearing into my room like a bad out of....well she was running quite fast. Not a terribly small dog (50 lb english springer) but still managed to run behind my computer stand and tear out essentially every chord plugged into my tower, while the machine was on. Cooked my motherboard, cpu, and video card in one fell swoop. I could have thrown that dog across the room at the time, but fortunately I was in dire need of an upgrade. I was able to use it as an excuse to build my new system, which I still have to this day.

Texsmom that was funny! :D
Great shot Vulcan. Give him light brown hair and that would be sondog about 10 years ago. :) That is just how he started!
Fun thread Tux! :)
-
Ahh the dreaded Kid ack I have that and cat ack if my son is not wanting me to help him draw something (normaly as I am trying to line up a shot in my panzer) or get him something to drink I have one of 3 cats wanting something the worst is the cat that plays fetch and he will not stop. :furious (silly cat thinks he is a dog :huh) but I am working on getting my sons computer up and running for him so he will have his own to play on.
-
The only kid ack I have to deal with is hurrying home after work to find my 14 year old stepdaughter on my computer, because her's is acting "retarded", no doubt because it has yet another virus she somehow picked up going to youtube, myspace or the frickinjonasbrothersaregod.co m.
Teens should be locked in cages until they reach the age of 25.
Oh, and McAfee sucks by the way.
-
I have dog ack-I am kinda bedridden and have a chihauha-yorkie mix.He only weighs about a pound an a half but demands to get a little attention and will step on the keyboard(playing in bed on a laptop).Thank the lord the kiddos are grown and have thier own computers
-
I shall expain Parrot Ack in more detail
You think dog and Cat ack is bad. Bird ack is the worst.This Bird is a species which name means Playful nymph. Playful meaning chewing any thing that is chewable from Cables to wooden desks to the soft covering of my earphones to My EYEBROWS.
And then she does the worst 1......Exploring. She jumps off my shoulder onto the keyboard and has once ran over the enter key three times :furious.
And the mic communication. Once i was flying and she steps on T and all my squaddies heard was parrot aimed Abuse.
eventually i swat it and knowing me Im into a hillside

C'mon man, he is FOUR already and you only give him Teen rated games.
Next year you gotta get him up to Mature level with games like GTA IV and Fallout 3 so that his buddies won't make fun of him.... :furious

We don't let him play bf2, only once in a while when I'm playing too and let him have a turn. But I don't think Star Wars Battlefront 2 or Transformers are that bad. He also plays AH offline with my help.
He has asked to play Fallout 3 already but got the definite no on that :D
If you can find me suitable Early Childhood rated games then I'll let him loose. But to date I can't find anything other than flash based rubbish that looks like it was written in the 1980's.
The problem is young kids need 'sandbox' style games and they are few and far between. I think many people underestimate their ability to learn stuff, my guy regularly works out things I didn't know you could do in games and he can't even RTFM.
-
if you've got kids, you obviously aren't playing enough AH.

My 2 year old daughter painted my toe nails while i was playing today. (Im so screwd)..
PS.. I have nightmares about those DOODLEBOPS'..... :salute
