We've probably all had a parent embarrassingly brag about us in front of someone, but we can all be thankful our dumb moms didn't have columns on CNBC. He not only plays video games, he watches every show about them on G4, he participates in chat rooms about them on the internet, he competes in a variety of games on a variety of platforms. He always tells me the latest trend three months before I read about it in the media. [x] Plays games [x] Watches shows about games [x] Participates in "chat rooms" on internet [x] "competes" in various games (not just one) on more than one platform [x] Knows trends 3-months in advance. ...but is three months always enough lead time? Sometimes a game can sneak up on you! Then he watched the Sony press conference, and the world as we know it changed. After hearing about “Metal Gear Solid 4”, as well as other PlayStation exclusives in the pipeline and the awesomeness of Blu-ray, he promptly packed up his Xbox 360 and all his games and went down to Game Stop to trade them in. He bought a PS3 and “Metal Gear Solid 4.” Sony wins. They then sold him a USED copy of “Metal Gear Solid 4.” “How can the game already be used?” my son asked. “Because some people get frustrated if they don’t have ‘cheats’,” he was told. HOW CAN THE GAME BE USED ALREADY? I'M ON THE CUTTING EDGE!!! |
