Kids these days

This is what I grew up using.  We had Atari, which came with a joystic.  The joystick, as you can see, had one button and a stick, and that's all that was needed.  You moved the stick around, you pushed the button.  That was it, end of story.  And it was fun.

This is what my kids have, it's the Play Station 2 controller.  It has a shitload of buttons and two little bitty joysticks that are used by each thumb.  My boy wanted me to play his Star Wars game with him.  He practically begged me.  Ok *deep breath* tell me how to use this thing...

B:  OK - the X is to jump the O is to crouch the square isn't used and I don't really know what the triangle is used for.

K:  Wha...

B:  The left joystick + O makes you roll, L1 fires your secondary weapon, L2 switches your secondary weapon, R1 fires your first weapon, R2 switches your first weapon.  Now all you have to do is capture all of the command posts there are 5 or 6 of them, and they can be recaptured by enemies.  Ok GO.

K:  Help me dear lord...

B:  Mom you need to run RUN and fire, do you see where I am?

K:  ahahahaha oh shit I'm not running I can't run!hahaha

A:  MOM, the left one makes you walk, the right one makes you run PUSH THE RIGHT ONE

K:  But when I push the right one it just pans all around IT'S NOT RUNNING what the HEL-HAHAHAHA geez...hahaahaI SUCKhahahaha can we please go do training so I can practice???

B:  OK here's training, your mission is to try to capture the three command posts...when you're at a command post pushing the triangle makes you able to switch characters or to a Jedi...

K:  WHAT THE CRAP I still can't run!HAHAHAHA*snort*haheeheeheehhahaha

A:  MOM PUSH THE RIGHT ONE SO YOU CAN RUN

B:  Mom you aren't running.

K:  I know, I'm doing THE MOONWALK heehaaaahahahahahahahaahhhhhgeezhahahahaha

B:  Mom, do you just want to play a game together later, like a board game?

K:  *giggle*hahaha do you want to just play this by yourself? hehehehahahaha((((LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY AT MYSELF))))

B:  Yes.

I can still feel the shame...
