WADT... ~master video gamer~
FACTO: i am the video game master
gamers have a lot of pride in how well and fast they conquer games..."i beat it in 846 hours non-stop without a bathroom break in the 'impossible' level, suckah"
BACKGROUND:
i do feel responsible for bringing video games into the fatitude family (all 3 sides) by introducing my nieces and nephew
(only 1 at the time due to a lack of maleness genes) to 1st generation home gaming on my second computer, the atari 800 with 48k of memory...yes, kilobytes, not Ka-JIG-a MOMMAS.this is after selling my apple II 16k machine for a true almost fulltime game system.
they would come over and i would have to explain and show them how to use the 1 button joystick...yes, i was better than them all!
my future bride gave in to my gaming madness by allowing me to be the only person on earth to give the video gaming system 'pong' to my brother/wife as wedding gift...she refused to sign the card, and i said "fine, more for me!" ("they'll love it...it's gonna be in every home"...i said, as she rolled her eyes and whispered something...
...she must have said, "boy this chinese guy is not only smart..he's got a rockin body") needless to say, i'm sure pong is in some dump in china now.

fast forward to present-day thanksgiving >>>>>>>>>>>>

...i tell my youngest son to bring home the x-box 360 and halo 3 he just paid for with his scholarship money...A says, "dad, this is the coolest game out there today...it's a 1st person shooting rpg with fob and 123 ABC...dot dot dot"
ME: oh just hand me the controller and put it on the hardest level...
A: ok (puts it on "novice with brain disorder" level in demo mode)
ME: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS? HOW COME I CANT MOVE?
A: press A...no..now b...no no..now A and jump...JUMP..JUMP..JUMP!
ME: why cant i move? i just keep looking at the sky...then the ground...then the sky again...why cant i move?
A: JUMP DAD...JUMP...JUMP..JUMP!
(at this point, A is no longer paying any attention to me)
A: (whispering something in his cell phone about me, to some dorm chick, prob....something like...BOY MY DAD IS NOT ONLY SMART...HE'S THE BEST GAMER I HAVE EVER SEEN!_
30 min later...
(while driving A to buy a new controller i just accidentally threw out the 17th floor balcony window, i proceeded to tell him how good i was shooting a real gun as a cop...then a bunch of real-life cop stories...he had these plugs in his ears attached to a small pod...i think he really liked hearing my cop stories...boy i am a "rockin dad"...name orig given by angelahappydot)
