Sony sent out a PixelJunk Monsters survey a couple of months back and me, being sappy, sent in my response.

Little did I know they'd pick it (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/25/pixeljunk-in-the-trunk-contest-winners-part-1/) as one of their stories.

Sweet-n-sappy aside, PixelJunk Monsters is an awesome game. I recommend it for anybody who wants to try co-op gaming with a "non-gamer".

Good read. The story above yours is lame, though.

I think they only picked the story cuz of the look on Kyle's face. Is he high on pixeljunk?

The picture was AFTER they picked the story, missy! :rant:

I have two boys, age 9 and 10. We’ve been gaming together for the last five years. We play multiplayer games on our own PCs, such as Team Fortress 2, Battle for Middle Earth, etc. We never really played console games together until I got PixelJunk Monsters.

The first time we all got together in front of the TV and played it was a magical experience. We all sat on the couch together, huddled in front of the TV, playing this amazing game. We’d pass the controllers back and forth, taking turns on alternate levels, laughing, getting frustrated, and high fiving when we finally rainbowed a new level.

It never sunk in how much the game meant until Valentine’s day.

Being newly divorced, Valentine’s Day was difficult for me. I was pretty depressed until my younger son came home from school and gave me an envelope. It was on a day when my ex was going to have the kids for the next three days.

I opened the envelope and there was a hand-made valentine inside. It said:

“Dad, I miss you and can’t wait to play PixelJunk Monsters with you on Monday. Happy Valentine’s Day. Love, Kyle”

Then why did you pick such a crappy picture? You guys DEFINITELY don't look like you're having fun together.

[primesuspect]

That's a good story prime...the note Kyle wrote you is the best part though.

It was pretty much a total tear-jerker. For sure.
