omgwtf, Halo 1 sux0rs!

Haven't played Halo2, so I won't make any judgements on it.

Well, to be fair, if the kid has issues he probably shouldn't be playing violent videogames.

That said, we're only hearing one side of the story. And it's probably made up.

Meh, just another way to drive more hits to the auction. Doubt its a true story. If you sell something, you don't have to list the product's timeline, background and why you're selling it, just a brief description of the product. Funny and strange auctions always gets tons of hits.

I thought the little story fit well with the "PRAY AND VOTE" background. 😛

:thumbsup: to the grandparents.

I don't care if it's minesweeper. If your 12-year-old has unreasonable outburts of anger while playing it, you should take it away.

"GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA
Shipping is $3.95 for Priority Mail"

not only are those some strange statements to string together like that, but to only make 0.10 on shipping? weird.

Holy crap, that retard lives nearby (looking at his phone number)! Yikes!

But now that I think about it, we have quite a few backcountry folk right outside town.

I read the story and thought, "Great, the fvcked up parents of one of the fvcked up parents that abused this fvcked up kid are now raising him".
I can imagine they'll do a lot better this time.

Children are unstable in general, they'll have emotional outbursts at anything outside their control. Sibblings have outbursts, children have outbursts in school... it's what they DO. I use to flip out when my little sister wouldn't leave me alone when I was a child, and I remember getting pissed when I couldn't beat a level in Mario Brothers. Stop blaming video games... sh1t.

 

[Goosemaster]

heh

 

[ElFenix]

the kid is probably starting puberty.

Yes, use buzzterms like "blaming video games" to make me look silly...

Video games are not the problem. Bad parenting is.

Here are the facts:
These grandparents let the kid play the game for a while.
They noticed an INCREASE in the number of his irrational outbursts.
They decided he should not be playing the game.

Again, :thumbsup: to them for taking action.

BTW, if you haven't, you should read the auction. The grandpa explains the whole thing and it's very reasonable.
