Ok, I’ll confess. This copped me right in the feels (as the kids are want to say)

Well, when i was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. you know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001. we had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together – until he died, when i was just 6.
i couldnt touch that console for 10 years.
but once i did, i noticed something.
we used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge. actually pretty awesome for the time it came.
and once i started meddling around… i found a GHOST.
literaly.
you know, when a time race happens, that the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver? yep, you guessed it – his ghost still rolls around the track today.
and so i played and played, and played, untill i was almost able to beat the ghost. until one day i got ahead of it, i surpassed it, and…
i stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure i wouldnt delete it.

aawww thanks. Thought my wobbly lip was coming under control. Guess I’ll have to work on that more……

Birmos Burger.

Just read a comment on the facebook page I got that from where a lady says that her mother passed away recently, but she still cheers her from the stands via her Wii “Wii-mote” character everytime she plays a game..

Probably all a tale

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Is it the reference to a ghost that makes you suspicious?

Indeed, gullible travellers have much to fear on the interweb.
