Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“There’s a video game for The Bachelor?! It might be time to get one of those Game Boy thingys.” That time was 15 years ago.

No comments? What is this people?
Ya, where are my peeps at?! <—- attempt at sounding cool.
I’m hurrr. My attempt at also sounding cool.
Charlie, peeps was cool in 2005 …..please stop
I heard there was this really cool video game with little Italian plumbers that have to save a princess. i don’t think there’s a rose involved, but i guess it could be like The Bachelor.
How the heck did you change your little picture?
i didn’t. it just came up that way. it might be because i have a wordpress blog (that’s the picture i use for my wordpress profile).
What I want to know is what kind of game this is? You virtually compete to win a virtual man? Life goal right there.
Sadly, virtual dating games are one of largest and best selling minorities in video game genres.
Somehow, I’m not surprised at all.
Apparently the Wii version is going to have a multi-player mode. If they do get a Wii (and this game), will you tell us about it, Charlie?
Obviously.
you should play it with them!!!
Yeah, because then he definitely wouldn’t look gay. :P
You should play as John Stamos… or Gerard Butler… or whoever the condo happens to belong to at the time!
I want a game boy thingy. My little brother broke mine.
PS If I got that game, I totally hope there’s a make your own boy part so I can make you
I never comment but I thought I would just for how creepy your statement was.
Make sure you never give away where yu live Charlie, hundreds of girls will come devour you. Steal locks of hair and make voodoo dolls.
ha! Read the last post’s comments, I’m only doing this because it makes me smile because I’m actually quite upset. My reaction is I bet if I act ridiculous with my online family, I can drown out my real life.
I’m sorry Charlie, I did not mean to make a “creepy statement”
Oh come on, it wasn’t THAT creepy.
In comparison to some things one may find on the internet, not creepy at all.

I must give an honest WTF?!?!?!?! to the above comment.
Who would make such a site?
It scared and scarred me T~T
Holy shit, another Hetalia fan! XD Gotta love Russia (that’s the character)
It’s like boot camp for snagging a husband…? Fo sho. More like booty camp. *shrugs and calls it a day*
Game Boy thingy…sounds like they named the vibrator?
Isn’t this just online dating?
I have nothing really witty to say today. :(
Its been a while since I’ve posted. So…
Hi guys. Missed you all. :p *waves*
Lequia’s here. Now it’s a party.
You just made my day! Someone actually acknowledged me!!! :D :D :D :D *does a little dance*
I’m happy to have made it.
*Passes the bowl of sunchips*
There’s a video game? Wow….
I still have my origional Game Boy somewhere. It’s like a dinosaur.
Does it work?
Yep.
wow mine still works…wth
Haha! I still have mine too. Along with it are my still functioning NES and N64! WOOT WOOT! NOTHING BEATS STAR FOX!
Except Conker’s Bad Fur Day
I still have mine too. I use it for old pokemon games, and because they still sell games at GameStop. :D All of my gamer friends call me old fashioned for not getting a DS.
Oh wow, I’m remembering the really old Gameboys that were huge and grey, and only displayed black and white. The only thing you would see on that was Tetris.
That’s exactly what I’m talking about! I can remember the games I had, too: Frogger, Super Mario Bros, Tetris, Space Invaders, Centipede, and of course I had Poekemon (Fire version!!). Those were some great times. Can’t beat the classics.
I still have my Gameboy Advance SP & my brothers Gameboy Advance & a link cable that I also use for Pokemon games.
i think i still have mine too.
i was really awesome.
i owned the ‘a bug’s life’ game.
and a mulan game. (i never progressed in the levels, i just dressed her up in all the costumes)
That just reminded me that I had a Toy Story game. Now I HAVE to go find all that stuff.
I think we recently got rid of a game boy color. But then I couldn’t play the random gameboy color game I still have. Because, you know, I was totally going to.
hahaha. sometimes when I get bored (or am procrastinating) I’ll dig out my younger brother’s old game boy advance and play either pokemon or megaman battle network.
And I think if we search hard enough, we’d probably find my older brother’s really really old classic gameboy!
15 years ago I was eight
15 years ago, I was 5.
15 years ago, i was born. :)
15 years ago I was born too
15 years ago I was still old.
Charlie….you’re not even old now!!!!
15 years ago was a day before my 5th birthday : )
Happy B-day tomorrow Christy! XP
15 years ago I was almost 10. My younger brother was really into video games. I only really liked Mario Party and the Lion King game on N64, but when I was really little we played a cute Sesame Street Game with a ferris wheel.
15 years ago was 3 years before I was born.
I can’t even remember 15 minutes ago, let alone 15 years.
Mine was purple. I miss it.
My gameboy, not my bachelor.
Omg I thought you were dating Barney
i had a pink one
I’m sorry but I have to say that you are wrong Mr. Charlie it is always game boy time.
Game Boys were the shit :3 I remember I had a pink Game Boy Advanced, and I still have my Game Boy Advanced SP with a bunch of Pokemon games. I was never cool enough to have a Game Boy Color :P Haha,
I have the old game boy color, the one where you use double a batteries. B^) <- I feel cool.
Lime green? Only colour worth having.
I still have my Gameboy color.. It’s purple ^-^ I lost all of my games except Super Mario, though.. *sigh*
Oh god, we’re all getting old! D:
Even if they got one I don’t think they’d be able to figure out how to play it.
You honestly have no idea how happy this post made me. Especially since it’s been a rather crappy week…
Hey, Chuck.
On the MLIA blog it said DGAM is going primetime. T or F?
Chuck? Whatever, PLEASE BE TRUE!!! And hello fellow MLIA and DGAM lover :)
YES AN MILAer! *high fives*
MLIA is actually how I found DGAM.
Yeah, me too. I saw an MLIA that mentioned this site and despite how skeptical I was about going to a site where a guy listens to everything two girls say I do not regret it.
-fellow MLIAer- I think DGAM was under ‘Average links’, and that’s how I found this.
I found DGAM under average links on MLIA, too. And seeing as everybody on this site is talking about their really old gameboys, am I the only one who’s still a teenager? ’cause I kinda get the feeling that the average age on here is a bit higher than mine.
what is MLIA? i found this site through Smartbitchestrashybooks.com. They featured it in a post on hilarious links.
MLIA is mylifeisaverage.com.
That would make my life. By the way, Charlie, how do we know that they will be able to set up their new game system? …
…currently taking bets on how long it takes them to give up
I’d bet on how long it would take them to try and figure out how to get it to plug into the tv…
I used to have a light blue game boy…I think I lost it shortly after I got my Legend of Zelda DS…It’s around here somewhere though and it still works and I still have the charger somewhere
My old school grey game boy broke after being thrown on the floor after the frustration that was Dr. Mario. The music still haunts me.
GREAT IDEA *light bulb appears above head* Charlie should leave a flyer advertising Nintendo Wii right about the GAM’s door =P !
I’d be a little afraid of how they’d respond if Charlie suggested that…they’d probably think he was hitting on them and just wanting in their pants… I mean, to dumb girls like them “Wii” does sound kind of like a body part…
I meant outside!! Unlike these two girls I actually have school work to do so which leaves me tired at the end of a very long day =P
Now the girls can have a struggling virtual love life. I wonder if you will overhear them fighting over the pretend bachelor. But then again, they do tend to share their…toys.
no poems yet??
Sorry, I was a little late on today’s.
Game Boys are from back in the day,
When Tetris is what kids would play.
Now there’s a Bachelor game,
And it sounds really lame,
Frogger is better, anyway.
Hello. Long time reader, first time commenter. (Although I always read the comments!) Felt I should comment today 1. Because I found DGAM through MLIA. and 2. Because I own a turquoise GameBoy Color, and a pink DS lite. I skipped a few! Lol.
P.S. I love Sunchips.
All perfect reasons to start commenting. Welcome.
Funny, my Gameboy Color was turqoise as well. My little brother just got a DSI with an extra big screen, and he was complaining because it’s too big. Wow. (I also enjoy sunchips, especially the cheesy ones)
15 years ago I was still old too Charlie, don’t feel bad!
BTW, I just looked up how old you are and you are NOT old yet!!!! Geez, now I feel really old!!!! lol
I started reading this site because Charlie’s comments were so witty. But now I read it to get to the comments.
Ditto.
Ditto too.
Ditto three?
A wild DITTO apears!
wild DITTO used Transform!
Wild DITTO transformed into Charlie McDowell!
What Ill You Do?
> Fight
> Run
> Bag
> PKMN
I feel really old with the 15 years ago- but not as old as I felt when I heard the next game boy will be in 3D. I felt like waving my cane around and saying “kids these days- when I was your age we played on a black and white gameboy and were excited to have color!” ;) Even though I am not old, nor do I have a cane.
Also, I have commented a lot today… and am stopping for now.
The only gaming system I had ever had until a couple years ago was my red gameboy advanced Sp. I had one game for it. Last summer, a friend finally forced Pokemon onto me, and now I’m addicted and have to go find all the old games to play, and work my way up the chain. So I can sorta empathize with them for feeling behind…
Ok, last straw! They give girl gamers a bad name!!!!!
I don’t think anybody would consider them “gamers” so, the title should still be safe. ;)
Actually the bachelor wii game is really hard. I downloaded it for the lulz one day (along with a disney princess game lolol) and gav up five minutes in because its all mini games that are bloody retarded.
A game with virtual men to go along with their vibrator? well… at least they won’t get pregnant?
Charlie, are you the only one that hears the dumb things these girls say? Or is there other people in the building that just ignore it?
I believe I’m the only one.
LUCKYYYYYY!! I wish i had dumb blonde girls living above me so that i could entertain the masses with their rather idiotic remarks! =(
Oh well, my time will come. I am sure of it.
I believe it might also be time for them to learn about technology other than the sparkly smart phones that they don’t know how to use.
when I was little there were no hand held game units. The atari was king!!! We had frogger and pac man.
Pacman is the game of Gods.
-First time comment!-
I’ve been reading this site on my phone since my internet has been disconnected, and it wouldn’t let me comment, but I enjoy the posts and the comments. I have a silver game boy color somewhere. God knows where

Chloe, for a second I felt special…. and then I remembered that I’m not the only Jake in this cruel, cruel world of unoriginality.
Crockenspiel wins.
