video games

Growing up when Grand Theft Auto was new was one hell of a time. Many of us had to hide the game from our parents, but it was still inevitable that they'd catch you doing some unsavory stuff. We always wondered how people with very strict or very religious parents dealt with it. They made for some interesting scenes, like how this person's religious dad out-religioned some evangelists at the door.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various video games that had all the promise in the world, and ended up bombing completely. Sometimes video games just flop, and the hype ends up being just that - hype. 

Twitter user @everestpipkin shares an awesome tale about the time he was nine years old and proceeded to get completely inebriated with power on the infamous Neopets video game. It's quite the little rollercoaster, and might bring some people back. 

What starts as a funny observation about what to look for when identifying a bilingual character who was clearly not written by a bilingual person, evolves into a wonderful Tumblr thread about various struggles experienced by bilingual speakers. It's clear that our brains are doing the best they can, and when you task the brain with hopping between languages inevitable brain farts can occur. 

This wonderful story about a dad's experience being presented various video games by his kid has us thinking that dad could've been trolling all along. Some of the reactions carry a strong scent of the typical dad joke. Either way, a big thanks to @MarcStraight for sharing such a funny series of reactions with their dad. 

She honestly dodged a bullet on this one. What kind of dude has a meltdown and rage quits a game, just because the girl who fancied him got good at said game? Well, just the kind of emotionally stunted dude who was incapable of seeing a great thing right in front of him. At least she got to see the guy's true colors, and got good at a video game at the same time. 

The moral guardians of the world could save themselves so much unnecessary worry if they did some research before stirring up a ruckus. The Terry Pratchett quote really ties this whole Tumblr post together.
