Fishing Jon
A good cheap first fishing boat for a 15 year old ( No Jon Boats )?

Im 15, turning 16 this summer, and am looking at a boat for next summer. we have a boat but its a lil run down and breaks down a lot, and since im gonna be wanting to go out on the lake by myself, that cant be happening.
I want something that is functional as a fishing boat ( please dont say a cheap little john boat either, i want a respectable boat ), is pretty cheap so i can save up and have it by next summer, and most importantly it has to be reliable because im gonna be out there by myself and im no motor wiz or anything and i dont want my dad worrying about anything

Well, I don't know exactly what kind of boat you are interested in. I don't assume you mean a full blown Bass boat.

Have you ever heard of Pelican boats? If not, have a look at them. I have a 10 foot Pelican Bass Raider and like it a whole lot. I personally don't like john boats because of the fact they normally aren't stable at all, they tend to be uncomfortable, and they just don't have a whole lot of room on them. The Bass Raider boat is a plastic boat which has a pontoon like hull on it. This makes it a very stable boat. You can easily stand up in them and fish if you get tired of sitting for a long length of time.
Another thing I like about them is the room that they have. They're nice and wide so you can easily fit plenty of tackle boxes, rods/reels, coolers, and any extra stuff you may have at the time.
They are also comfortable to be on all day. They come with 2 pivoting seats with the option of padded seats.

Again, I don't know if that is the type of boat you are looking for but if so, I highly reccomend considering it. I just use a trolling motor on mine but you can put a normal motor on it also if you'd like.

Rekindle An Old Love For Computer Games

There are so many things which we have as children and then when we reencounter them as adults they have somehow been re-branded, or changed just that bit to irritate us.

There has been a whole generation who have grown up with computers and the simple games which were developed for these first computers. These uncomplicated games, which were the best thing we had ever seen at the time, progressively got more complex as development moved on, unfortunately work began to get in the way and we started to get less time to play the newest games when they came out.

Before we knew it, we had lost touch with the gaming world as other demands were put on our time.

The beauty of the first games was in their simplicity. They did not come with a thousand page manual in twenty different languages, they were games where you could just start playing and only stop when you were either so frustrated that you had to stop (otherwise you would have thrown the thing out the window) or if another member of the family came and demanded a turn.

These games were simpler and had innocence about then. Unfortunately the next generation of games strove to impress with greater complexity and in doing so destroyed the part that was most attractive, the simplicity. After some time the beauty of the early games shone through and suddenly they were all available again, and the upgrades have kept the concept in tack.

There was one very unfortunate twist to this tale of rediscovery, someone thought to call these great classic games, "casual games"! Such an unattractive name, such an implication of boring games, such an inappropriate image; especially as these are now very popular and there are companies such as Big Fish who have a huge selection of games in this style.

What's more, Big Fish Games sells all types of games, so they are not just some old company rehashing an idea to try and avoid bankruptcy, but they are a company who have enough understanding of games to be able to see the importance of the fantasy adventure games, which once mastered never offers the same appeal (admittedly some can take nearly a lifetime to master!), as well as the "always there for a quick gaming fix" of "casual games".

Why have a go at "casual games" if you have never come across one before? Well, they are definitely addictive, so you will be have hours of fun, they are designed so you can just leap straight in and have a go, but there is one really useful aspect, they can be played on a computer or laptop!

So if you are practicing in secret then you can always just Alt_Tab back to that document or spreadsheet which you have been working on and no one is the wiser. So you can get that T-Rex munching eggs with just a few clicks and then you will remember why you liked computers when they first came into your life, before they became about reports and work!

There is another advantage to the new "casual games" (apart from the obvious improvements in graphics and speed), these can be played online, and if you are feeling really generous there is a section on the Big Fish site for games you can play with your kids (otherwise you could just not tell them about it and keep as much of the computer time to yourself as possible)!
