    Following the discussion we had last week about Minecraft, scratch etc. I found this now:

    It's other games/ sites for 6 alternatives to PC games that inspire programming, building, engineering etc.

    Thanks for posting. DD is VERY interested in getting the top one on the list. Maybe after 3 years we can break the Minecraft obsession with other games?

    Has anyone tried Garry's MOd? It looks like a great combination of two of DD's favorite things to play on screens--making Miis on the Wii and this Android game:

    Note that we have not tried Minecraft.

    Hmm. It looks like there are a lot of guns and military stuff in the screenshots. She would hate that. But I don't know if that would seem emphasized or not when you bought it.
