You corrupter! Why are you doing this to him?? Do you want him to end up just like us?

Few more years and he'll be "hammering" things.

Yes. At this rate, by the time he is in his teens, if he continues to map, he will be a master!

I remember I started with paper and pencil... Then RTS games, Unreal, Goldsource... And now what I make/can make is a far cry from what I used to draw.
Of course, your son has the advantage of starting with the computer, so he gets an even larger head start than he would if he had started with anything else.

My son inherits all of my gaming rigs.

He's a lucky boy who got his first gaming computer before he turned two.

You should expose him to Lego Universe when it comes out. Its an MMO where you have access to supposedly every lego piece in existence, and you get to build things out of them and use them with or on other people.

It looks really cool :P

I don't think its right to let a kid of that age anywhere near a gaming machine.

I wonder if he'll eventually be a member of TWHL...
:P

As long as TWHL remains alive, he'll become a member when he comes of age.

"Few more years and he'll be "hammering" things."

I realize that is a pun, but you may want to rephrase that...

"As long as TWHL remains alive, he'll become a member when he comes of age."

The first thing I thought of when I read this was some kind of rite of passage in which his joining was some kind of sacred family tradition :P

I've been watching too many medieval films.
