A memorable moment

Jun 07, 2011 10:22

My son and I are computer gamers of course and as such we use the popular gaming community and app delivery system called Steam.



Steam has a feature where you can friend people and you can see what games they are currently playing. The interface allows you to even message them while they are in a game.

Some games are not really "Steam supported" and you have to tweak them a little in order to get them to interact. Generally if you are playing one of these unsupported games, you appear to your friends as "In non-Steam game".

This isn't optimal to me because I am playing Rift right now and I want my friends to know. So I asked my son how to actually show the name of my game since he has done this before. I set everything up but I wasn't seeing the changes.

He and I were both in chat with one another at the time. I'd make a change and say "What does mine say?", in reference to my status on the friends list. Then he would make a change on his and say "What does mine say?" Then we both kinda realized we were repeating the lines from the movie Dude Where's My Car? when the two idiot characters were trying to describe what the tattoo on each others backs said (one said "Dude" and one said "Sweet" of course).

We got quite a laugh out of that.
