  • Google Sets Up Mother’s Day Page To Suggest Gift Ideas And More

    Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. Do you have all the preparations ready to celebrate the most important woman in your life? If not, Google’s got your back.

    Google announced today that it has launched a special Mother’s Day page to help sons and daughters everywhere plan an extra special day for their mothers. The page includes a gift guide (with the obligatory link to Google Offers), a guide to local florists, and an offer to send a tech care package to help your technologically deficient mother get on the Internet so you can chat it up in a Google+ hangout.

    While it may reek of corporate shilling, Google is onto something here. You really should get your mother something nice on Sunday. That something nice can be as simple as a phone call (or a Google+ hangout) to tell her how much you really appreciate her.

    If you want to get more creative than a phone call or a hug, however, Google will be hosting a number of events this week to share some ideas. The first will be an AskMen sponsored Google+ hangout with the editors of Parenting.com. They will be suggesting “creative ideas” to make this Mother’s Day “a day your mom won’t forget.” Google has also set up a Mother’s Day Guide Google+ community for people to share ideas and stories with each other.

  • Skyrim Mom Is The Best Mom

    In what is possibly the greatest idea ever, Bethesda’s community manager, Nick Breckon, had his 65-year-old mother play Skyrim while he tweeted her comments.

    The tweets range from goofy to outright hilarious, but are always entertaining. Let’s take a look at a few of the best, shall we?

    A bumpy start:

    My mom started playing Skyrim last night. Her first comment: “I think I need Todd Howard sitting on the end of my couch.” 4 days ago via web · powered by @socialditto

    “It took me like an hour to create my character. I couldn’t decide between Macho or Girl.” 4 days ago via web · powered by @socialditto

    On ancient lexicons:

    “Who is skilled enough to know castle language?” 3 days ago via web · powered by @socialditto

    The intensity of battle:

    It was all dark and everyone was hiding behind boulders, and I didn’t want to die again, so I just kept shooting and shooting and shooting. 3 days ago via web · powered by @socialditto

    And then I heard the funniest thing: ‘Well what the hell are you shootin’ at me for, you’re supposed to be killin’ them! Quit shootin’ me!’ 3 days ago via web · powered by @socialditto

    I laughed so hard. I was just killing everyone.” 3 days ago via web · powered by @socialditto

    Stealing is bad:

    “I took on some woman in a house. I stole all her food and she pulled a knife on me and I killed her. Is stealing part of the goal?” 3 days ago via TweetDeck · powered by @socialditto

    Politics:

    “I got stuck so I said, ‘I’ll see how the New Hampshire primary is going.’ Then I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll spend this election with the PS3.’” 1 day ago via TweetDeck · powered by @socialditto

    Losing direction:

    “I’m sure I’m missing something, but nobody is yelling at me.” 23 hours ago via TweetDeck · powered by @socialditto
