I'm a big believer in raising your kids right, from a very young age.

If I ever have kids, I think I want you to be my child-raising advisor 
I have been practicing on my younger cousins. They learned how to read by playing games. I hooked them on Mass Effect and Uncharted and now they are hopelessly addicted. They are 10 and 13 (I do have to keep them from seeing certain things though . . .) now but I started them on the path to light side when they were still in diapers.
Aw, I wish I had a cool relative when I was young. Learned to read from Pokemon Yellow, and I had to find and become hopelessly hooked on Uncharted and Mass Effect all on my own

Nice to meet another Uncharted fan! I rarely meet anyone who knows what it is. Super hyped for Uncharted 3 in five days

That reminds me, I tried babysitting my cousins once (8 and 6, both boys). I offered to let them play games, and choose from my shelf. I suggested Kingdom Hearts as one they might like, they just looked at me and said, "Call of Duty!". I lost a little bit of faith right then. So I gave them Uncharted to play, and the older boy kept complaining that the dumb blond b**** (yes, he actually said that) was shooting at his enemies. The younger boy complained that none of the guns had upgrades, and he then proceeded to explain to me the best types of guns and their upgrades. These were things I didn't even know! So, yeah, I don't babysit anymore unless it's close family and I don't have school/work.
