I am the luckiest guy right now...
LostCrichton | 12:40 AM on 01.12.2008 30 comments


So, I had a very long crappy day. I got hung up at an onsite repair job for more than 7 hours and still had to drive back 3 hours on top of that to get home. Pretty much missed the better part of FNF and when I got home, found out some fucker hit my other car parked at our apartments leaving me a nice 3 inch dent on the driver's side to deal with. But you know what, doesn't even faze me. I am one lucky son of a bitch. I walked into our apartment, got handed my favorite dinner (steak tips and mashed potatoes) and then my wife told me I had two surprises to make up for my crappy day. The first surprise was a copy of "The Monster Squad" 20th anniversary on dvd, which is a movie I've been looking for at local stores for the last couple of months. She had ordered it for Christmas but it was late coming in so she kept it a secret. The second surprise was this...




I am in fucking awe how amazing and wonderful my wife is for doing this. She hung up all my Guitar Hero guitars (GH1, GH2 360, GH3), The Rock Band Fender and my wireless Ant Commandos guitar. Plus the Rock Band Drums, drum feet (the pipes are under the tv in a cabinet), the microphone, and the drum pedal. She even hung up our 2 year old daughter's play guitar (I got it for her because she loves watching me play Rock Band and Guitar Hero and I wanted her to feel included).




I just wanted to share my wife's awesomeness with you all. Thanks!

Whoa, that's awesome. And it's great that you're raising a new gamer. It's good to start them on gaming early. :P

The pic of your daughter holding a Smashing Pumpkins guitar is pure win. Lucky guy you are.
Turtule Soup's Destructoid Blog
Lol lots of guitars.
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
Thats pretty cool of her.

BTW, my kids have the Backyardigans guitar. Much as I like to see them playing with musical toys, that one in particular is too damn loud. I usually turn it off and hide the thing for fear of my head exploding.

So we bought my 2 yr old an actual mini 6 string. loves that shit.

Dude, your wife is awesome...

...I'll stop there because you really do seem to be one lucky sonuvabitch
PraiseChaos's Destructoid Blog
Lol. I was a little confused by the guitar for the daughter. "Hey, I've bought every guitar hero I could find, and I never got that guitar..." Makes perfect sense now.

You are absolutely right. You're a lucky fellow. Thanks for sharing. This actually brightened my day.

Not only is that pretty sweet looking, it also helps as far as space considerations. My Rock Band stuff is currently just littering my bedroom floor. Why not let it litter my bedroom wall?

 about me

Sometimes I get the feeling that I am a robot sent from the future to have relations with all your appliances....on a more serious note if anyone out there knows a one armed dentist please give him my Myspace page url because he may be my real father and I long to finally meet him. I enjoy all kinds of theremin and calliope music and adore eating cheese, carrots and apples but not at the same time and not always in that order. On the weekends I sit on park benches and talk to complete strangers to compile what will eventually become the greatest American novel in the 24th century. While the thought of cottage cheese sitting on a kitchen counter frightens me, I am excited by the prospect of combining honey and jello in a swimming pool as a summer vacation spot. I dunno about hardcoreness but I've got my own fair share of games, consoles and accessories. Video games, anime and anything British or Japanese pretty much combat boredom from setting in. My loves are expensive habits but then again so are cigarettes and gourmet coffee. I prefer action titles and FPS's but I dabble in the occasional Japanese dating sim and lose my self for weeks in RPG's. I am blessed with a wife who is into games almost as much as I am...almost. I also have a 15 month old daughter who likes swinging the Wii remotes around and shotput them towards expensive electronics. I have yet to buy a PS3 because I am waiting for MGS4 and the new Killzone, meanwhile I likes to get my gaming fix with a healthy dose of Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 with a small dash of DS and PSP while I'm on the go. I love indie made games because they have the balls to push the envelope...in some cases rip the envelope in two, wipe one part with its butt; take the other out on a nice date and back to his place and in the morning never call again, bury them both in a shallow dug grave and pour kerosene down the hole for a fire dance. But at my heart I'm a sucker for those classic retro standby franchises...damn you Wii VC for sucking my wallet dry with mediocrity and promises of better days!!!! I have mad robot love. Praise be unto the Astronaut Jesus and have a Good Day!
