THERE ARE FEW THINGS WORSE<br />
THAN BEING <strong>ONBOARD</strong> AND<br />
FINDING THAT THE WIFI OR<br />
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM IS ON<br />
THE BLINK. ADAM FIANDER LOOKS<br />

The current fascination for my two young boys at the<br />
moment is a multiplayer video game called Fortnite.<br />
Played by individuals, or small groups pitted against<br />
one another, Fortnite is an incredibly popular, if rather<br />
frantic, survival based game that takes place upon an<br />
island fantasy landscape inhabited by brightly coloured<br />
male & female ‘mercenaries’ hell bent on blasting,<br />
or slashing the living daylights out of one another. The winner<br />
eventually decided upon through a ‘last man standing’ scenario.<br />
Forgive me if you detect a certain note of sarcasm in my<br />
assessment of this seemingly addictive video internet game, but<br />
if anyone else out there happens to be the parent of children<br />
with similar gaming habits to mine, they too will know all about<br />
the potential for verbal abuse that kids can suddenly throw at<br />
parents as soon as the domestic wi-fi signal starts to flutter or<br />
(God forbid!) that home connectivity, for one reason or another,<br />
is lost completely!<br />
