DAILY MANIFESTO

Oh, To Be 10 Years Old And Looking For Love In Glasses-Free 3D

Posted on Monday, February 11 @ 23:00:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

When I was 10 years old, I was overjoyed just to play Pokemon on my Atomic Purple Game Boy Color. The buttons squished happily under my thumbs and the colors changed as I progressed from city to city in my adventures. I didn't need to go online or play against real people (not counting my little brother who was put in his place on numerous occasions).

We don't live in such simple times anymore. These days our 10-year-olds feel all the pressures of modern television and music. They're Bieberized. If a boy isn't chased around by screaming 10-year-old girls, it feels like something is missing. Society tells them they aren't a whole person without that awkward, he's-actually-canadian-and-that's-totally-cool-but-stop-saying-baby-please-god, swishy hair effect.

At least, that's the kind of pressure I'm assuming Masterclaw360 was feeling when he posted this to the Colors 3D! app on his Nintendo 3DS.

Tiny Cartridge caught the post before it was taken down. Instead of painting a pretty 3D picture, Masterclaw360 used the app to scrawl that he needed a girlfriend and that girls should read the description. There, Masterclaw360 writes:

im ten years old, i like hockey,basketball and soccer. i like sonic, legend of zelda starfox and mario im sixty two pounds...

And it's all muscle! I suppose. I gotta say that this kid's going about it all wrong. If you want a girlfriend, you have to insult them a little, or at least let them know only pretty girls need apply. And seriously, Sonic? Sonic sucks.

I'm surprised a 10 year old actually likes Sonic considering Sonic hasn't been popular for almost 20 years.

Sonic really does suck. For a guy who was an entire company's mascot he really has no personality and 15 years worth of bad games.

Sonic 2 and Sonic and Knuckles FTW tho.

I'm sure posting this poor kid's message on here for the world to see and poking fun at him in the process is the right way to go about bringing things back to more simple times again too right?

Poking fun? I'm trying to help him! Believe me, I'd be right there with this kid if my Game Boy Color had online. My Pokemon team would be named
1) Will
2) You
3) Go
4) Out
5) With
6) Me?

true Dan, guess he's in the same predicament as all the dudes playing Call of Duty who start frothing at the mouth when gamergirl69 or hotchick91 ends up on your team. Can't be helped, and actually, may just work out for the little guy down the road. Who am I to judge true love? hahaha

To true. What do you think the average age of Call of Duty dudes is? I wonder who saw this in the game until it was finally caught?

They sound like they are 13 when they are cussing me and other users out, or trying to karaoke a crappy rap song, but sadly I think they're much older most of the time.

hahahah, hmmmm, average age of COD gamer? With the amount of mic'd kids you hear online, you'd almost think the average would be around 10 years old hahahahah, while realistically, I'd guess at closer to 27-28 maybe?
