Congratulations! Cheap Ass Gamer's Cheapy D is a daddy! photo

Friend of Destructoid and the frugal gamer, Cheap Ass Gamer's Cheapy D, is now the proud father of a baby boy, Tai. Born on October 20, 2007 at 11:56 AM, the future bargain hunter weighs in a 6lbs 14oz.

Congratulations are in order, from the entire crew here at Destructoid.

And as one the few married men on the Destructoid staff, I just have to say: Honey, don't go getting any ideas just yet -- Cheapy has yet to let us in on any Rock Band deals, and that can cut into a child's college fund.

Hurray for Cheapy D. Raise the kid with RPGs, Sonic, Battletoads, Megaman, Metal Gear, etc and he should be fine.

I forgot to add my expert babies advice....


Don't ever let silence be demanded around the kid. EVER.

Be noisy always, even if you have to fabricate it. It and you will sleep better.

Producing a baby? One small step for Cheapy D, one giant leap for gamerkind.

Seriously, though, congrats on a healthy baby boy! May he be blessed with the money-saving, deal-seeking instincts of his father...and become potty-trained and start speaking full sentences within a year. Just try to keep him from hollering obscenities over Xbox LIVE until at least 2020.
