YTMND Thursday: The saddest YTMND ever photo

For today's edition of YTMND Thursday, I thought it would be nice to only have one specific YTMND. I will admit that I had to hold back the tears from how heartbreaking this story was. The story itself originated from a poster on the IGN Forums a long time ago and an artist at ThisIsGame saw the post and made a comic out if it.

It's also timely as today is Thanksgiving, a time to be with your family and loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I cried like a little girl. They just had to top off the story with 'Road to Zanarkand...' The song alone chokes me up.

This is almost as sad as the time I found out Atlas is Fontaine.

But seriously, it's touching. I must be a heartless bastard though, because I really don't feel the urge to cry, or even watch it a second time. Still, good YTMND, good post. Happy Thanksgiving youse guyz!

Wow, touching stuff. Although I do admit I was expecting a screamer or something. Thankfully that was not the case.

My mom is in the hospital right now. I'm going with my sister to see her tomorrow...

I was really expecting someone to have written something along the lines of "pics or it's not real" but I'm glad that even the jaded community that we keep around here isn't hard-hearted enough not to be a little moved by such a lovely story.

Excellent choice of music to go with it.

THE GAME AUTOMATICALLY SENDS YOU PRESENTS FROM "JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU, LOVE, MOM" !! HIS MOM DIDN'T SEND HIM A DAMN THING, IT WAS THE JUST PART OF THE GAME!

Wow that was heavy for an early trip to the interwebz before going to work.
I must admit this is the best ytmnd in weeks, really touching.

@ j0e: I think the guy who wrote this story probably would be able to tell the difference between letters from "Mom" in the game and his mother's character name. Tard.

i was half expecting her to get a mail that was one of those post mortem kind like "if you're reading this then i must have passed on"

that would have been very twilight zone.

I'm dead inside. All those years of killing people in games has gradually been shreeding me of my humanity. I thought it was sad, and it was a very lovely story, but i don't feel anything.

@JOe;

Usually typing in caps alone is enough to flag someone as a retard, but yur message could have used perfect grammar and pause and you would still come off as a spastic.

I feel a great swell of pity for someone like you, someone who feels the need to seperate themself from everyone else by ANY means.

Sad, sad fucker tbh.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving... and got to hug your moms. If not, give her a call...

Goes to prove how powerful YTMNDs can be.

And to those who got nothing out of watching it, sucks to be you... sorry if we disturbed your gameplay, I guess.

Cheers to all! - Have a great weekend.

Not feeling teary-eyed yet, but that was a pretty powerful YTMND. It made me feel a little sad. I must play Animal Crossing again sometime.

Damn, that was like a punch in the gut. I am sitting here crying as I write this. My brothers and I lost our mother 4 years ago, and this story reminded me of her so much. Proof that people actually can use silly internet sites for something meaningful.

Yeah, I saw this on the c-blogs a few days ago and had to hold back the tears. It’s a hell of a sad story, but it really makes me think about family at this time of year, which is the way it should be.

I love you, Mom!
