video game console, multiplayer game


Several weeks ago when I asked my son what he wanted for his birthday this year, he said a new multiplayer game for his video game console. When I asked if he could be a little more specific, he said that he didn't care what it was, as long as it was a game that he could play with his friends on the video game console that we gave him for Christmas. Now to someone who is not a gamer, you can imagine that this had me a little nervous that I would get a multiplayer game that would be either too girly or not 'cool' enough for him and his friends.

I decided that I'd ask our daughter if she had any ideas on what multiplayer game to order for him, and being very much like her mom and not into games, she had no idea. She did offer to call her boyfriend and see if he had any ideas about which games for the video game console would be the best for the boys. She promised to let me know as soon as she found out something so that I could get it ordered.

Early that afternoon her boyfriend popped in to offer some suggestions for games for the video game console. We were able to find several at Bolluck Mall whose online store can be found by visiting www.bolluckmall.com/ and I placed an order. I don't know what I would have done without his help and I thanked him profusely. He said he was happy to help, and I knew that he meant it. I decided as a thank you for helping me find the multiplayer game that my son would like, that I would treat my daughter and her boyfriend to dinner out. I told them that we could go to their favorite restaurant or anywhere new that they'd like to try.

Needless to say, they were both thrilled and he teased me during dinner and said I could call him anytime I needed help with games for the video game console. I thought it was funny, and told him that I would probably hold him to that promise, so to expect to hear from me the next time another holiday rolled around. They had a great time, and we stopped on the way home and picked up a few groceries and a pizza for my son who was just getting home from a friend’s house. I can't wait for him to see the game, but he's going to have to wait a few more weeks.
