HOOKED ON THE BROTHERS
|
My grandpa, the legendary competitive gamer and speedrunner Leroy McWavedash, passed away today. He told me that when he dies he wants to be buried with all his fightsticks and gamecube controllers. Never let us forget all the Shrek Super Slam tech he discovered, like Donkey Storage and skipping Shrek 3.
I would like everyone to come up and say some parting words in round robin format. Your eulogy can be any%, but please don't try to beat Irkel the Framesplitter's speech time as even our TASbot can't do one that fast.

TASbot has done some arbitrary code execution on the picture slideshow to edit in Leroy's favorite burger king crown in some of his best pop-offs.

You know, I was positive he aimbotted in CS, I mean who can headshot across de_dust through the doors like that. But after sneaking into his house and doing a complete search of his computer (great porn collection by the way) he was on the up and up. Still taped over his mouse laser to totally prank him.

I remember this time we were playing Need for Speed Porche Unleashed multiplayer. He made an incredible run on the Europe map and I was positive he had hacked his game, so I snuck back into his place to check his computer. Did a full diagnostic on all his hardware and reinstalled his game to make sure I wasnt missing a hack. Turns out he was on the up and up. Still stole all the wheels on his rolling office chair to totally prank him good.

My grandma, who has dementia now, was homebound because of a bunch of maladies.
She was the one who taught me to read, gave me a desire to read on my own, and I won a quick recall tournament in elementary school because she read Beatrix Potter books to me (the question was - who wrote The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902).
When she became homebound, she asked me about the new DS system (the handheld thing on tv with the pen, she told me) and this brain game somebody had told her about. Me and my parents bought her the brain training game (really just my parents tbh, but I convinced them it would be a good idea!), Prof. Layton, and a couple of other things. I moved away. When I came back to visit a couple years later, I saw my grandma and she was doing really poorly. In a few weeks, my parents were going to go through a whole rigamarole to get her to a care facility. Anyways, I found my grandma's DS. The screen was all marked up to hell and back from wear. She played the poo poo out of that thing. She asked for it when she left for the home. She doesn't remember who I am anymore, thinks I'm my dad or my grandpa. I'm really glad that I was able to help her give something to keep her mind occupied than weekly crossword and sudoku from the grocery store magazine rack.
OP, please change thread title to Grandparents, Games, and GOons tia
 Happy halloween

Actually, all joke posts aside, this thread reminded me that my Grandpa actually was a pretty cool gamer. like in the real sense and not the *GAMER* connotation. I mean what they mean to me would still be very different than it would to him, but he's a good reason they've always been a passionate hobby of mine. He introduced my brother and I to Age of Empires, Lemmings, the original Duke Nukem, and a lot of those NES classics, too. Really, he's the reason for my avatar. 
yeah thats nice but could your grandpa drift on his wheelchair? He's the reason they banned snakeing in Mario Kart

Here's the real jazzle about your gamin' gramps.
See, he's not really a gamer. He has a PC, he had a CD-ROM of old Win 3.1 shareware (until support for 16-bit software was dropped), and he knows about Pac-Man and Centipede. Because he played them a lot at bars, and was good enough (relative to the other drunken, quarter-dropping sods around him) to get seventh place on the high score tables for each. Back in 1983, when he wasn't trawling the scene for jaded women with big feathered hair, pink kitten sweaters, and mouths like ashtrays.
Which all ties in to your gramps today.
See, he saw one of your old PC gaming magazines, way back when you actually cared about and bought such things. He saw John Romero's lustrous tresses, he heard some poo poo about Romero and that "Killcreek" gamer babe gal being a thing, and he saw this Daikatana poo poo might be blowing up into something big. Really big! Look at the chick that fine man got, after all!
So your gramps bought 500 shares of Nintendo stock (hope you enjoy your inheritance of that, by the way), dug out the too-small aviator jacket he bought with redeemed Camel Cash, grew his hair out long and kept it black and slicked back with charcoal and motor oil, and moved to Las Vegas. Because that's where COMDEX was, because that's the razzle dazzle entertainment capitol of the world, and because he can't afford Los Angeles.
And your Romero-esque gramps now, nearly two decades later, is still Romero-ing it up and trying to impress people that he is a "gamer", which he thinks is some big shot video game man executive. When really, the closest he gets to anything gaming related is telling whichever sunbird retiree he picks up at the slots to "Suck It Down" in the hotel room, right before they retaliate by chomping his penis with their false teeth.
So yeah. Like Daikatana, this post took too long to write, isn't very entertaining, is conceptually crap, and was created by someone with an overinflated sense of self-importance.

Grandpa wasn't a perfect man -- he called Mrs Pacman "a hot piece" and he stole every quarter he laid eyes on -- but he was a loyal man, kind, and thoughtful always available with a medpac in co-op and always tolerant of backseating.

Sadly, all of that ended with the onset of regenerating health. we could see him start to waste away when halo launched, but he managed to tough it out after retreating to pc. he was a tough ol' cuss, but in the end, call of duty 4 was what broke him. and there's only so much we could do with battlefield, too. by the time 4 released we all knew the end was coming, really.
rest in peace, grandpa

so you think grandpa is just a lame old man, huh? well watch this!
*grandpa, along with a bunch of his friends, that he meets for coffee at 5:30 every morning at Stewart's Shop, team up to win the Starladder I-Series LAN finals, a battle between the world's most elite Dota 2 players, with a total purse of over 3 million dollars*

it's always weird to look at the elderly and think about how they used to be sexual beings that wanted to gently caress Mrs. Pacman

Actually, studies show that the elderly have more sex with Ms. Pacman than any other age group.
