so this sunday, there's a nintendo gaming finals shindig. it's on a big cinema screen. i got invited to the finals of this 'nintendo superchallenge' thing, i guess because i did so stupendously in the heats or somefink. pat on the back, tom, wow; beating all of those 12-year-olds. real hero.
it's all on the gamecube. i feel like an idiot, some standover man to these nice young pre-pubescents.
i won a gameboy advance out of it. i've already got one so it's a bit of money in pocket if/when i sell it, which is good. one adhd-having little rotter tried to steal it from out of my hand, the cherub. 'twas a bit embarrassing, trying to wrest control of a gameboy off a 12-year-old. but you know, as i always say, "better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. by your peer. who is as old as you. on an even playing field." haw! haw! haw!
You see that is the virtue of CC, we are all in the old enough to know better age range so we cannot get the "evil older person advantage guilt"... Although some of occasionally get the "I'm too old to be spending friday nights this way guilt".
*shrugs*
Technically those tenacious little munchkins *mutter* brats *mutter* have far more time to practise le gaming than us old folks, so they really ought not whinge! IMHO.
