Man, I was searching for stuff on google, and I found a link to this one forum. Oh man, one post was absolutely hilarious. I had to share it with you guys.

"My soon-to-be 7 year old girl can play just about any MMO...but I think she prefers EQ2 because of the graphics. I use the term "play" pretty loosely. She knows the concept of whack monster on the head and get loot. EQ2 provides the most simple implementation of this from random chest drops.

She will mess around with character generation in WoW but doesnt seem to care for it. One day I was making dinner and allowed her to play and she said to me "someone invited me to their team".....I say go ahead and ckick okay....

Turns out it was a duel request! A couple of seconds go by and my daughter gets up and says...Daddy that Orc tried to hit me...So I beat him. I walk over and sure enough she had wtfpwned some poor schelp.

I couldn't resist typing in..."How's it feel to get spanked by a 6-year old?" And that was pretty much the end of WoW."

I almost think Ive heard that somewhere, but maybe I'm just thinking of a similar story from another place. Who knows. Funny, though.

I have a story of where a guy's kid learned math and economics through the shops at Everquest

Quake and caffeine have basically the same effect on me.

Well, when my elementary school banned Pokemon cards...just let that sink in for a moment because I still roll my eyes over it...a lot of people said that they should be allowed because they use a lot of math and kids were also obsessed with them.

Random ironic stupid and completely pointless news time!

I've been obsessed with that White and Nerdy song, and since it mentions MIT and Half-Life mentions MIT (and since I didn't know what the M meant), I went to the MIT website and learned it means Massachuesettes. Then I got silly and went to their personal search engine and typed in Gordon Freeman, and there were a couple blogs by MIT people about Half-Life. Then I scrolled down and found something so painfully hilarious and ironic. On September 8th of this year, MIT had a bunch of people come and talk about AIDs and things like that, and one of the guest speakers names was Gordon Freeman. I kid you not. Check it out:

Speakers:
Daniel Barber, NIAID;
Gordon Freeman, HMS/DFCI;
Bruce Walker, HMS/MGH

Panel Discussion:
Glenn Dranoff, HMS/DFCI;
Arlene Sharpe, HMS/BWH;
Uli von Andrian, HMS/CBRI

I laughed really hard when I saw that

[Tassatul]

So was it a conincidence, or did they do it on purpose? Itd would be a really short speech, seeing as Gordon NEVER talks

[BugHunter]

Well the chances of the names "Gordon" and "Freeman" put together in real life isn't that too far fetched.
