While playing guitar at this one PC place, (they hired me) one of the worker's 7 year old son was playing on one of the computers. After playing my guitar for the little dude, we became friends. The games that he was playing on one of the computers were simple, flash based games (noggin channel kiddie games). One of the guys there was really cool, and let me play some games too. Their PC could run Crysis, it was that good. Anyway Crysis got pretty dull, so I decided to play a couple of cactus' games at yoyogames.com. As soon as I started playing, the kid was like "Whoa! What is that?!" I told him what the game was (Msoids) and we began to play more games. I let him play Clean Asia, and the surprising thing was, he was really good at it! Seriously, this dude got farther than me, on Attractor! As I said, I also showed him Msoids. The controls were a bit weird to him, so we decided that I would control the arrow keys, and he would control the shooting. It was really fun that day, because I got to expose an entirely new experience for him. Gone were the condescending "Good job!" and "Way to go" of mediocre games, in was the exciting explosions and awesome music that is in cactus' games. I surely had fun, the kid had fun, and the best part of it all, was watching his eyes light up at the massive explosions. Just know that some of your games made a small child smile, cactus.

That 7 year old will grow up to have a pretty good taste in video games. It's nice to hear stories about this; I think Cactus'll like it.

That'd be pretty awesome too. I actually had the idea to make messed up kids games and see if I could traumatize anyone with 'em. Only reason I haven't done it is because kids don't play indiegames, I reckon.

I don't think anyone who's seen the President's giant TV tits can still be considered a child, personally.
