video games.
I'm not a gamer. I haven't played video games in years. Don't get me wrong; I'm not against video games. It's just that, well, at a certain point my cat fell in love with my PS3 controller. I never had the heart to take it away from her, so I just sort of fell out of the gaming habit. My friends at Daily Squee are kind of bummed that I never play online with them anymore, but what can I say? It brings me more joy just to see her snuggled up like that with the joysticks. ...
We showed this video of new iPad games for cats to an old friend of ours, Grumpy Old Cat. This is what Grumpy Old Cat had to say about it: "These young cats these days; they're so spoiled. iPad? Feh! In my day, we didn't have 'video games.' We didn't need video games.

He just wants to play, and, at the very least, the little guy deserves his own Mii, right? ...
Ask any child of the '80s and they'll tell you that "Duck Hunt" was undoubtedly one of the most iconic games of its generation. To be fair, that has a lot to do with "Duck Hunt" having been automatically included as a pack-in game with the sale of every Nintendo console, but still, it was one of the first home video games most of us '80s kids ever played. So it's comforting that even in an age of "The Sims" and "World of Warcraft," an appreciation for the classics is not lost on the younger generation, even if its only the younger generation of pets.
