When it comes to family game night, which do you prefer as a parent, video games or board games? We put this question to the crowd of experienced parents gathered at Freddie's Place in Austin, Texas. Some prefer video game consoles like Wii, Xbox, or Playstation to interact with the kids. Others use a board game for family fun. Let us know what you think: do you prefer to come together over game pieces or pixels? DadLabs Ep. 330 The Lounge. Brought to you by Fundex Games.

Daddy Brad: Welcome back to the lounge, we’re here in beautiful downtown Austin, Texas at Freddie’s place having a couple of drinks and some snacks out on the back porch – I’m Daddy Brad.

Daddy Owen: I’m Daddy Owen. Today’s lounge is brought to you by Fundex Games – where fun comes first or a very close second.

Daddy Clay: That’s not the slug! I’m Daddy Clay – this is the show we experience lots of questions about parenting with out fellow parents, and they tell us how they confront their parenting. This week’s question is?

Daddy Brad: When it comes to family game night, do you like the old school board games or the new fangled video versions?

Daddy Clay: Game night – you guys are all gathered around, are you going to hit the video games or are you going to the old fashioned – part cheesey?

Man 1: Totally X-Box – in our house its all about the X-Box 360.

Man 2: My kids like board games, but board games are a big commitment – someone has to clean up afterwards.

Lady 1: We’re in to Power Rangers right now, so we play a lot of jungle fury.

Daddy Owen: I played Wii once and it freaked me! It haunted me! Why does my hand make the TV move? – I don’t need that kind of power.

Man 3: When they are bigger I am hoping to do board games to, again fulfill my destiny to be the worlds greatest D & D Dungeon Master.

Lady 2: I don’t even think I want Berkeley to know about video games for a really long time.

Man 4: I got rid of my Playstation 2.

Daddy Brad: You don’t interact on your Wii, and you need to roll some dice and count and move little things around the board.

Man 5: As a neurologist one of the things – especially with the video games, they can be not very interactive.

Man 2: Last week my daughters taught me 3 games. They taught me the Dr. Pepper

Daddy Clay: How do you play Jungle Fury?

Lady 1: Someone is spirit of the tiger

Man 2: Doctor
Daddy Owen: Pepper

Daddy Owen and Man 2: Doctor Pepper

Lady 1: Someone is spirit of the cheetah

Man 2: Went to town

Lady 1: Someone is spirit of the eagle and then the baby is the pasha master.

Man 2: Maid Red shot him down

Daddy Clay: Who’s the spirit of the tiger?

Lady 1: The spirit of the tiger is usually me.

Daddy Clay: Yeah?

Man 2: Now he’s drinking 7-Up.

Lady 2: We’re trying to teach Berkeley, you know that winning is everything and that better than losing is just walking away from the game.

Daddy Clay: So at what point do you let the kids play the M-rated games?

Man 1: Actually he is at home right now playing the wrath of Dogma.

Man 5: The more you interact socially – the more active you are with ideas, this helps because it can make new connections all the time that are ongoing and that’s very helpful.

Man 2: Crispy crème with no caffeine

Lady 1: Sometimes we have a Michael Jackson dance party.

Man 6: I’m afraid that if I give my kids a video game, that they will just be like uhhh!

Man 5: What you do in the video game – you’re just practicing like you were practising to catch a ball – you’re just practicing to get your cerebellum to work, but you’re not really creating any new cognitive kinds of pathways.

Man 2: Never once, never twice and freeze!

Man 6: I can’t get my kids to sit still for a board game, and honestly, I am scared to death of video games.

Daddy Clay: Have you ever played any Fundex games?

Child 1: Umm

Man 7: Board games are obviously boring! That’s why they call them board games.

Child 1: Is Gassy Gas one of them?

Daddy Clay: Yes!

Child 1: When that guy, like you pump his head and then he farts a lot.

Daddy Clay: Yes, yes! Isn’t that a good game?

Child 1: Yeah cool.

Daddy Clay: Okay I’ll get you that money later.

Jodi: We don’t have any video games.

Daddy Owen: We don’t have any video games, but when Dad Labs starts paying...

Jodi: Yes I want a Wii.

Daddy Owen: Well there’s a bathroom over there.

Man 2: I didn’t know any of these games a week ago, but if you let the kids teach you a game and it changes their whole perspective about grown-ups know things that kids don’t know and stuff like that.

Man 3: Yeah I really do think video games teach problem solving skills. You know board games might teach them more about life just because it’s a slower pace.

Daddy Clay: So this has been a very interesting conversation about game night here at Freddie’s, but that’s all for us this week. Drop us a comment please about what game night is like in your house – you’ll automatically be registered for our weekly giveaway and this week Daddy Brad, what have we got?

Daddy Brad: An assortment of Fundex games – we’ve got great games – outdoor games, indoor games. Dominoes, checkers games, dice games, board games – one that’s called Gasset Gusset that farts, and it’s a funny game and kids love it that people fart! And everybody loves it when people fart.

Daddy Clay: You’re about to stroke out. That’s all for this week. We hope we see you back in the lounge next week.

Daddy Brad: You know a dog sweats through his tongue so is it spweat? Because it’s spit and sweat all mixed together.
