Title: Good Grief, Charlie Brown!
Post by: w1ngman on December 17, 2001, 05:35:21 PM
Wow...I\'m standing in front of the PS2 gaming titles at my local TRU when an older gent (I\'m 36...figure he was in his early 60s) has a PS2 placed under his armpit by a salesboy.  The man proceeds to review the titles with apparent distress.  Being the know-it-all :p that I tend to be at times like these, I asked him what was up...  He informs me that his daughter has sent him to task for Christmas...seems papa is going to buy his 6 year old granddaughter a PS2 and 2 titles.  WOW!  Nice papa!!!:D  But get this...first thing he finally adds to his armpit is Twisted Metal: Black!!!:eek:   Remember what I said just a moment ago???!!!  His granddaughter is 6!!!  Jeez!  I had to pull out my moral-halo and inform him of the ESRB rating system and tried to steer him in a more "grandfatherly" role.  So he left with a PS2, Jak & Dexter, and the new PS2 Crash Bandicoot...

...Twisted Metal: Black...jeez!:rolleyes:

Truth there!  But as the *daughter* put him on a PS2 mission, she might have had other motives;)   Silent Hill 2...that\'s sick:D  Then again, what a *FAB* Christmas morning that\'d have been in their house!!!:hat:

Yep I\'m on the last 10 pages of the 1st book "the fellowship of the Ring"

This is my 2nd time reading it, and I have to say I like it more the 2nd time then I did the 1st time. Especially with all the cool maps on the internet and the official site to reference charachters and stuff

I\'m very excited for the movie

Good job w1ngman, Im glad to hear you saved a young child from adolescent exposure of the wickedness of Twisted Metal: Black. ;) Keep up the good work. :D

Although Id recommend the game to anyone else above the age 6. lol.. I love this game.

Sure...but ya know how you can just look at a person and recognize they are the poster-child for "Clueless"???:laughing: This fella was a 36" x 28" poster.  K\'?  Oh yeah...another funny thing...he asked me, "Is there any place that I can purchase these games cheaper???"  Hehehe...  Man, did his daughter do a snow-job on papa!!!  :eek: :p   Good fella though...just what a grandpa should be...Mr. Moneypockets!:D
