Parents finally cave and buy 33 year old son playstation 1

KENOSHA, WI—Having refused to purchase the video game console since its introduction in 1994, local parents John and Melissa Gionda confirmed Thursday that they had finally caved in and bought a Sony PlayStation 1 for their 33-year-old son, Daniel. “It has some violent games I still don’t approve of, but I know it’s something Daniel really wanted, so we finally figured, ‘Why not?’” Melissa Gionda said shortly after purchasing a bundle package containing the PlayStation console, a 1-megabyte memory card, and copies of Crash Bandicoot, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, andSpyro The Dragon for the 2002 college graduate and digital marketing analyst. “We’ve always felt that video games would have been a huge distraction from his schoolwork and first four jobs after college, but Daniel has been patient and waited long enough to get a PlayStation. As long as he doesn’t sit around all day in front of the TV, it’ll be fine. And we got him an extra controller, too, so he can play it with his friends or his son Mark.” Despite buying the video game system, the Giondas confirmed that they still refuse to buy the 33-year-old a copy of the 1992 Megadeth album Countdown To Extinction.

...why are people saying he doesn't know what the Onion is? Maybe he was just posting it because it's funny and related to games. Not appropriate for System Wars, but doesn't mean TC thought it was real.

It's funny cause Playstation put it on their Facebook lel

What!!! he still Doesn't have Countdown to extinction Geez get with the times man.

Agreed. People claim that it's satire, it's really not.

Anyway thank you TC for this human interest piece. I for one am glad he finally got to play what I'd considering one of the greatest consoles of all time.

most of the people in this thread are like Daniel

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 was an amazing game. The new generation of gamers totally missed out on this franchise.

TC, go away.

Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooods, lock!

So true. I know some people were partial to 3 and THUG, but 2 was just ultra revolutionary for its time. In my top 50 of all time.
