So I took the daughter into Children's Hospital in Seattle for a check-up. On the 5th floor pediatric offices, they have a N64 set up for patients to play.

There was a kid there playing Mario 64 on it. He was roughly eight or so years of age.

I decide to strike up a conversation. "Whatcha playin?" I inquire in a genial tone.

"Mario 64" he says, his attention elsewhere.

"Mario?" I exclaim. "Aren't you a little OLD for that?"

"Uh," he says, looking away from the Dire Dire Docks, "I have a Gamecube at home."

"Does it have Grand Theft Auto?" I ask, my voice thick with patronization.

"No" he says.

I just snort in older person contempt.

So a minute later he sets down the controller, giving me a sad look.

Later, I whisper to him: "BUY A PS2."

[Drinky Crow]

LOLZ

 

[Penguin]

I think he just crushed some poor kid's dreams.

 

[=W=]

Hahahahaha

I hate you, but that's funny.

 

[thom]

[Kobun Heat]

And in all the confusion, you lost your daughter.

EDIT: did the kid have like cancer or anything?

 

[Brofist]

Poor kid, parents can't afford to buy him a proper system.

I kid

 

[Drinky Crow]

Holy shit, where IS my kid??????

 

[Drinky Crow]

His brother had leukemia. Does this mean I'm going to hell?

 

[demi]

You will never believe who I found at the hospital today!

I accept paypal or money order.

[AniHawk]

His brother had leukemia. Does this mean I'm going to hell?

Yes, and how!

 

[Drinky Crow]

Ah, shit. After my wife found out what I did, I don't think I'm gonna get a chance to make another.

You should have told him to buy 2 in case one ends up to die early.....

 

[Drinky Crow]

"Buy another PS2, in case it dies early...like your brother!"

 

[=W=]

^^I'm going to hell just for reading that

 

[Bluemercury]

Now thats not funny......

 

[Speevy]

Whisper to him "Xboxers really don't care now that their console has Grand Theft Auto, despite that fact that it's the PS2's biggest seller. Buy an Xbox, then Animal Crossing for your Cube. AIAS 2002 Game design winner."

Cradle of 3D platforming vs. Cradle of Pandering.

 

[AntoneM]

His brother had leukemia. Does this mean I'm going to hell?

yes, and Satan's brother has Leukemia, so you're really fucked.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Dammit.

 

[Ronin]

ROFL.

 

[beerbelly]

Are you serious? Sometimes it seems you are the child...

 

[Culex]

You terrible, terrible person!

 

[belgurdo]

"Buy another PS2, in case it dies early...like your brother!"

I like how you think

 

[Crazymoogle]

Ah, shit. After my wife found out what I did, I don't think I'm gonna get a chance to make another.

Tell her GAF made you do it. I mean, what else could drive you to taunt kids at a Children's hospital about not having M rated games?

 

[cvxfreak]

I need to throw up now, thanks.

 

[Mr_Furious]

#1 reason why children shouldn't talk to strangers!

Oh and I hope you don't believe in charma

 

[Drinky Crow]

I'll sacrifice my karma to reduce Nintendo marketshare. Throw the Pharisees out of the temple of One Console Videogaming!

 

[Mermandala]

Ah, shit. After my wife found out what I did, I don't think I'm gonna get a chance to make another.

d00d, just keep eating and hang in there - you'll make another shit eventually.

 

[thom]

You terrible, terrible person!

It was just a joke and a funny one at that.


Do you honestly think this swayed the kids opinion at all? The mildest repercussion will

be the child explaining to his parents that a long haired man smelling faintly of feet

condescendingly recommended a Playstation 2.


What's wrong with that?

 

[Spike]

Face it Drinky, Nintendo > you

 

[Socreges]

That was funny, but I'm beginning to get a little concerned. You (and a few others) seem to even bring up Nintendo frequently in the Off-Topic Forum during the most obscure moments. Frankly, it's troubling.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Nintendo is symptomatic of all that is wrong with the world.

 

[Socreges]

AHHHHHH! MAKE IT STOP!!

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Thank you, I'm dying over here.

 

[AntoneM]

waits for some one to say that they have Leukemia or their brother does and then we'll all feel bad except for the one ass clow who posts "Leukemowned!!" directly afterward.

 

[Drinky Crow]

My father died of leukemia. Fucking insensitive jerk.

 

[Defensor]

I actually found this story pretty funny. Not the whole leukemia issue, just the talk to the kid.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

*jaw drops*

...

 

[AntoneM]

My father died of leukemia. Fucking insensitive jerk.

insensitive jerk? I post on GAF don't I? it's a requirement, isn't it in the TOS?

 

[jett]

Is it me or is DC's act getting a little pathetic?

 

[thom]

My father died of Nintendo you fucking insensitive jerks.



...



No, really it was alcoholism.

 

[belgurdo]

NINTENDOWNED

 

[Mejilan]

Is it me or is DC's act getting a little pathetic?

I thought that was the whole point?

 

[epmode]

"Buy another PS2, in case it dies early...like your brother!"

poty.
