Quantcast



Nothing warms my heart more than watching a gamer couple nestling at home, gathered by the entertainment center raising little gamer babies. Well, until the infant begins to channel Sam Kinison. No, seriously. Watch what happens when the Level 1 human's daddy demonstrates his mastery at Wii Sports Golf. "Do it again!" says mom, and sure enough the little one goes apeshit. Someone phone Bob Saget, we've got a winner folks. Cute kid, too. However, it's not hard to imagine his skull cracked open with a near miss from dad. I sent him a memo.
 
So, back to the little one. His fixation on the television and the queued giggling just kills me. Adults don't really do that. As we get older, we learn to ZOMG and HOLYJEEBUS instead. Or worse, we crack the clasped "doooooooood" smile; a survival skill necessary to not get eaten by wolves. Not kids. What we have here is primal joy from watching a video game. This is a beautiful thing.
 
Ok, I'm over it. I cannot wait until this wholesome family gets Mortal Kombat. COME'EEEREE!

Hungry, I will sell you mine. I don't know if it works due to all the dust it has consumed, however...

Cuteness! My 8-month old was doing the exact same thing the other night while watching his aunt play Wii Sports Bowling. Maybe Nintendo is sending subliminal baby hilarity rays through the Wii.

The one I submitted a month ago was better quality. :D

Love that video though, unpossible not to smile whilst bearing witness to the birth of pure video game joy.

A beautiful thing indeed.

Loud, adorable/obnoxious baby for Dtoid community manager.

The baby makes a lot of loud noises and probably pisses itself a lot, not unlike our current community manager.

To see all that pure, undiluted, concentrated joy over a video game is so wonderful it's almost sad. In 15 years his gaming life will likely be based primarily on bicking obnoxiuosly and cynically on an online forum somewhere. But let's hope not.

@Dentry -- ah, see I spent 15 minutes looking for it on the site but couldn't find it; I thought we never posted it but sure enough, there it is! I'll keep it live for those that missed it, then.

@Nienro -- It took me 10 minutes to find it and I knew where to look! I didn't think it was that many "Weekend Destructainment"s back.

I wasn't gonna say anything, but then my avy drank a beer and killed a chicken while listening to a loop of the children's laughter.

lmao @ this kid - I can't help but laugh with him, even though I really don't know what he's laughing about exactly.

@ Detry - "Me fail English? That's unpossible!" lol
