Say hello to one-year-old Melodie, the smartest baby ever and future gaming master. Melodie is a little sponge as she’s able to absorb everything into her cute little head.

Youtuber justiepoopoo made a series of flash cards with famous videogame icons on them. justie then showed all the cards to Melodie one-by-one and she's able to name each character every time. According to justie, Melodie was shown the flash cards four times a day over the course of three days for her to memorize each card.

Melodie truly redefines adorable.

Cute. My sister is having a baby in a couple weeks and I just can't wait for the kid to get to be age four or five so I can start spoiling him/her with cool video games. I see you can start earlier, though.

As adorable as this is I can't help but shake the feeling that all this girl's father is doing is training his daughter to be the biggest nerd of all when she gets older.

@Amaru,
My thoughts exactly. Of all the constructive things he could be teaching her, he's trying to display her like a sideshow performer on a youtube video.

Still, the Sackboy impression is undeniably the most adorable thing I'll see all day.

@braulio: the yoshi in thousand year door was named by the player. i don't know if there was a default, though.

That's the cutest thing Destructoid's ever posted. Ever.

I want one of those to do chores for me - like putting games inside my consoles. That and using your controller to turn it on means I'd never leave my seat.

That's fascinating. She's only one and able to visually identify such complex/varied characters. I loved the ending :) :) :)

"This child will grow to hate her father."

Hahaha! My thoughts exactly. You can't just force your passions on your kids like this. If she wants to get into gaming, she'll get into gaming. Character flashcards seems a bit excessive, dad.

I mean, if my dad tried to force me into folk music I'd probably not be as fond of him. Kids try and be the opposite of their parents. It just happens.

Plus, you know, this time could be spent teaching her valuable shit, not the difference between Yoshi and Sonic.

Though, I must admit, her saying "A COOKIE!" to the Goomba card cracked me up. As well as her Sackboy wiggle. Cute kid. :3
