Read this today on a video game forum (I'm cool) and I thought it was hilarious. Figured I might as well share with you. unedited.

Sup, guys, got a cool story.

I have a young nephew, about 5 or 6. My sis complains to me, saying, "He doesn't want to read, he just sits and plays his Gameboy all day." So I ask her, what kind of games? She tells me is platforming stuff, SMB, and the like. While I'm glad the youngster is playan the classics, I know reading is important in this day and age. So I tell her, Get him an rpg. Hell, Pokemon! Yeah, get him pokemon.
So she does. He beats the first gen, then with my help, transfers his team to Gen 2, then 3. I'm thinking this shit is awesome.

Then my sister returns, complaining it didn't help. He still can't read. I give her a blank stare. She shows me, handing him a book. Kid has to sound out EVERY FUCKING WORD, his lips move, and he needs help constantly. He can barely read. I ask him if he could read while he was playing the game, and he shook his head.

I was dumbfounded.

A 6 YEAR OLD BEAT THREE FUCKING GENS WITHOUT FUCKING READING.

WHAT

THE

SHIT.

MY NEPHEW = HARDCORE
