Nov 21, 2010 at 14:40 comment added claws @mtrencseni: I fixed it. Interesting! I was even pronouncing the l in the spelling. It was sounding weird.

Nov 16, 2010 at 14:57 comment added Stefano Borini @Mark : I have experienced it, don't worry. I played everything playable (I'm not kidding, we had a computer shop so I had all games released in a 10 yrs timespan) on C64 and Ami1200. On PS/XBox, I'm updated enough to know what's going on, and play games I consider worthy (e.g. Uncharted series or Portal). This is however, orthogonal to the argument. What I want to say is that Xbox is a strong attractor, and you need something really strong and cool to redirect interest without application of educational force (such as: first homework, then play, which is what any good parent should impose).
Nov 16, 2010 at 14:48 comment added Mark C @Stefano Hey, you just don't know what gaming has to offer because you haven't experienced it! I'm poking fun at myself and gamers. See the comments on this [drug experiment ](youtube.com/watch?v=X_DWFbg_J9o) (I'm 00bean00).

added hyperlinks.
Nov 16, 2010 at 14:31 comment added claws @mbq: Yeah. I know! Its just that unable to add links is irritating. But now that I got 100 rep. So, its a CW now :) But How do I make it a CW?
Nov 16, 2010 at 14:24 comment added user68 @claws I just like the policy that everything with not defined best answer and not closeable should be CWized so the best answer can be constructed by collaborative edits; with CW you don't feel bad about stealing parts of other answers.
Nov 16, 2010 at 13:22 comment added claws @mbq : I'm not making it community wiki so soon. I'm not greedy repo but I need atleast 20 rep (for inserting links, images & upvoting.)

Nov 16, 2010 at 10:09 comment added claws @Stefano Borini: Well, actually not all these books are for students. These are for me to read. I pick ideas from these books and put them in the way they find it interesting. :)

Nov 16, 2010 at 9:29 comment added Stefano Borini I'm not sure it's on topic, although I love the subject. In any case, I'm not sure you will get interest from books. There are (few) students who still don't think all their life is XBox and junk food. These students are captured even with paper lifted by a charged pen, so you need to feed them right, but you don't have to capture their attention, it's already captured. If you want to capture attention of the Xbox junkies, you need something else entirely. A book won't do, not as a starting point
