M.C. Kids Puns

Didn’t know about the AFA in high school so never applied. Probably would be competitive had I done so, but AFROTC is really great as well. Just wanna know my options.

New to this sub.. Did anyone else LOVE and play the CRAP outta the McDonald's nes game, M.C.Kids? I would get an M.C.Kids t-shirt if I could..

Season 1, Episode 7 - Mc Kids

Featuring: M.C. Kids (Virgin Games, NES, 1992)

Wikipedia:

>M.C. Kids is a 1992 platform video game developed and published by Virgin Interactive. It was initially released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in February 1992 in North America, and by Ocean Software in May 1993 in Europe. As a licensed product for the McDonald's fast food chain, the game stars two children named Mack and Mick who venture into the fantasy world of McDonaldland in order to return Ronald McDonald's magical bag which has been stolen by the Hamburglar. The game was created by four people in eight months: Darren Bartlett (art and level design) Gregg Iz-Tavares and Dan Chang (programming) and Charles Deenen (audio).

>M.C. Kids was ported to the Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST and MS-DOS as McDonaldland which was only sold in Europe. The NES release in Europe had the same name as the home computer ports. A different version of the game was published for the Game Boy also called McDonaldland; outside of Europe it was re-themed for the Cool Spot franchise and released as Spot: The Cool Adventure. Virgin would later make another McDonald's-themed video game titled Global Gladiators, which was released in 1992.
The player can choose to play as one of the two "M.C. Kids". There is no difference between the two characters aside from their skin color and hair styles. Up to two players can play the game at once, and both characters can walk, jump, duck and pick up blocks to throw at enemies as they travel through the seven large worlds of magical McDonaldland.

>In a similar format as Super Mario Bros. 3 or StarTropics, the game has seven different worlds. Each one starts out with a visit to a McDonaldland character. However, unlike games such as Super Mario Bros. 3, simply defeating the various levels is not enough for success. McDonald's franchise imagery found in this game includes the various characters from restaurants and television, and McDonald's cards and golden arches — all of which are variously available for plot advancement and as power-ups.

>Novel gameplay mechanics found in M.C. Kids include a spin device that turns the player upside down and reverses gravity, the ability to warp throughout the current level via a zipper, and a boat that can be both ridden and carried.

Back when the marketing targeted towards kids weren't as heavily regulated as today, fast food companies had video games too. En

Just saw a post about a woman breaking up with her new SO due to the kids/no kids conversation in another sub; the post itself was obviously fine, but what pretty much baffled me was the sheer amount of comments on it from people who didn't have the same opinions on kids as their partners.

How can someone stay in a relationship that is fundamentally broken due to an issue that has no compromise about it? Will they have a child they don't want, then resent both it and their partner someday, or will they ask their partner to not have kids and then face resentment in turn? Just... I can't understand how those people even think their lives will turn out.

And one more thing: some of the commenters talked about people changing their minds post-marriage. If my SO, the man I love the most in the world, someone who repeatedly said that I deserve to be happy, suddenly said he wanted kids, I'd be furious. Not just angry, but motherfucking furious. The idea that someone who is in a happy relationship with me would throw this relationship in the dumpster for the idea of children is absolutely rage-inducing to me. They'd choose nonexistent brats over someone who'd love and support them throughout their life. It makes me sick.

Opinions?

I am 45/MALE. I have been married for 20 YEARS.

My wife is 42/FEMALE. Our children are 17, 15, and 13

My affair lasted from March 2007 to May 2011

My daughter is 10 months old

My affair partner is 23/FEMALE

TL:DR I had an affair for 4+ years. The affair resulted in a daughter who is now under my legal custody. My wife and I are reconciling and we want to raise my daughter as our own. I am unsure of how to explain this situation to people who are naturally going to be curious as to why we have another child without giving TMI or embarrassing myself and my family. I am looking for advice on how to proceed.

I'll try to keep things simple. I had an on again off again affair with a troubled young woman. It was wrong, inappropriate, unbecoming, etc. The affair is over and has been for over a year now. I have apologized to my wife and we are working on healing our marriage.

At the tail end of our affair the affair person ended up becoming pregnant. There was some dispute as to whether I was the father and the timing was a little too convenient. Daughter was born in December 2011. Paternity was confirmed in the Spring of 2012. I've been spending several hours a week with my baby since then and paying child support. Within the last few weeks my former affair partner has been going through some legal issues that are likely to jeopardize her custody. In July she was arrested on cocaine possession and around the same time ended up with a DWI. I began to become concerned with the health and safety of my daughter and the affair partner agreed to turn over custody of our daughter to me. Currently we are ironing out the legal matters with our lawyer but it should be done soon. My former affair partner is going to have to serve a 30 days sentence sometime this year (she probably won't serve all 30 days but she will be in jail for some period of time). We will have the transfer done before then. I won't be getting child support from her which I suppose is fine, even though it is slightly unfair.

I have my wife's support in bringing my daughter into our lives. What we are unsure of is how to explain our daughter to our friends and family. My wife does not want anyone to know about the affair and we have not told anyone about it. I agree with her decision. I don't want my teenage children to think worse of me because of the affair. I do not want my wife to be humiliated because of the affair.

That leaves us with basically the op
