I just had to explain to my three-year-old why he couldn't watch Daddy "crunch rocks and catch piggies," and he's absolutely distraught. Now I know I'm not going to hear the end of it till the next test opens up. Thanks devs. ;)
*chuckle* Exactly the same experience here. Started playing Glitch a couple of weeks ago with my 4-year old (well, he turned 5 yesterday) at my side. He didn't quite get the idea that it's in alpha, so he spends most of the week asking me if I can check if it's back up or asking if I can fix it (not that I'm looking for a job or anything ) ;)
My boy keeps telling me, "I think your game's open now, Daddy," every time I sit down to my computer. So I have to bring up the page and show him the red "closed" sign.
He's really only sat with me the few times I played over last weekend's test and he's already hooked. If he were a little more precise with the mouse -- we've not really gotten to the keyboard just yet -- I could totally set him up to do my grinding for me. :)
