father's day or not

UPI‘s got a story up (spoiler alert: you don’t need to go there, I’m about to explain it here) about a Canadian school that’s done-away with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

The school - Astral Drive Elementary School in Nova Scotia – instead holds “Family Day” on May 15 to include non-traditional families.

Thailand Fathers Day

We don’t know much about Thailand, but what we do know is that the date of Father’s Day is always determined by the Thai King’s birthday. The current King, Bhumibol Adulyadej, celebrates his birthday on December 5, so…you get the idea. Happy Father’s Day, Thailand (it’s tomorrow there today, FYI).

australian moms and dads

This Sunday, September 2nd is Father’s Day in Australia, and word around the outback is that dads are prepared to receive gifts valued at less than half of the value of those bought for Mother’s Day.

While moms (or mums, as they call’em) received Mother’s Day gifts with an average value of $60, dads are expected to see gifts valued around $28, says IBISWorld.

Father’s Day By Louis C.K.
Around The Internets Movie(s) Available!

On this Father’s Day, 8BitDad would like to think you dads had a good day with your family. As much as we’d like to sometimes forge our reality to others about how awesome we all are as parents, Louis C.K. spits the heat that we like to repeat.

“Spend time with your kids and have your own ideas about what they need. Get into it, it won’t take away your manhood, it’ll give it to you. I did that, I spent more time with my kids. I took it on. Found out that I’m a pretty bad father. I make a lot of mistakes, I don’t know what I’m doing. But my kids love me, go figure.”

So remember dads, we might not be perfect but we don’t have to quit trying.

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day from 8BitDad!

BTTF Father's Day

You may have been daddy’s little helper – but did you ever travel back in time to help your dad nail your mom? Didn’t think so.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, whether you were from the 8, 16, or 32-bit generations – or predated us all with – gasp – pen and paper games.

Being a father is immensely important, and you’re carrying on a great tradition that helps make the world a better place.

Do Want! Turtle Beach Ear Force X32 Headset (XBox 360)

Ask a dad what he wants for Father’s Day, and he’ll tell you “oh, anything” or “nothing, I’m happy just spending time with you.” Lies. What that guy wants (and needs) is a Turtle Beach headset for his gaming pleasure. Specifically, the Turtle Beach Ear Force X32 (XBox 360) are a great gift for a gamer-dad. I mean, sure, you could just buy him a gift card to Best Buy (or Future Shop for our Canadian readers), but the dude’s just going to end up buying these for himself.

And if you’re a dad, stop playing coy and just tell your family that you want to ear-hump these headphones so bad that it’s effecting your kill-death ratio.

Now, before we get into it – Turtle Beach does indeed have many headsets – and in fact, many headsets above the X32 in quality. But if you’re looking for a good balance between price and power, the X32 is what you’re looking for.

Bioshock Father's Day

For those of you who are all hopped-up on ADAM and looking forward to a beautiful Father’s Day in Rapture, here’s a window display you can get behind!

This was, according to Reddit comments, from a store in Ottawa, Canada called Happy Daze or It Store, depending on which nostalgic Canadian you ask.

BTW, for a bit of web nostalgia, check out the Happy Daze website, which was ripped straight out of the 90′s.

Full window display is after the jump.
