"He is amazing and much taller and far more handsome in person. He is an American treasure like fruit bats or bungee jumping..."

Pretty funny. Thanks Joel (and DRA) !

Re: Long Player With D. R. Adams: Gorf, The End Of The World, And The Legacy

Hilarious! I know jack about games or DANZIG but that column made me laugh right out loud! What a joy.

my fav line after 1st read....

"1. The game heckles you. (It’s like a historical version of the comments this column will probably get.)"

You know, I actually AM old (my Jr. Prom was held at the Mall for Gods sake and I remember playing PONG and PAC MAN after that I had to quit gaming) but I love that boy Ryan to pieces.

xoxo K

um... and the video. wow. i'm cracking up at my desk (my co-workers prolly think i've lost it w/ all the giggling/lazer noises/minimizing windows on my screen quickly/working on something that should take 30 min. for the whole day because of said minimizing/etc.)

When I first read the piece my boss was in the office, so I couldn't play the video, but it's hilarious, and wonderful. Great game machines! The dog is a definite plus, with--what's that, a slipper? in her mouth. Brightened my whole day.

You get a free pass for being a busy mom. And I didn't mean to sound snarky or anything with my reply to your post, although it probably came off that way.

Re: Long Player With D. R. Adams: Gorf, The End Of The World, And The Legacy

He has arcade games machines in his home. Wow.

Oh and his home looks just like Adrian Grenier's. Adrian lives in Los Feliz. I wonder if Ryan knows him?

Watching Ryan play the video game was hilarious. I saw plenty of myself in all the cursing.
