It’s probably best if I just let the pix tell the story in this case:
From April Winchell:
And there was this kid at the rally, I think he was about six years old. He was black, and sitting up on his dad’s shoulders. He had an Obama-Biden sign, and for what I swear was about 3 hours straight, he held the sign straight up, with the most determined look I had ever seen on a six-year-old’s face. And then this other kid appeared, a white kid, on his dad’s shoulders. And all of a sudden they were sharing the sign back and forth. And then, then they held it together. And…it was so simple, SO simple. Yet, at the same time, it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen, and the great part was that they had no idea what they were doing. Everyone looked at them, people took pictures, but they were just holding a sign. “Little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls…” It was so simple.

Oh, for us old people, the totally confusing world of video games! Remember when the biggest thing out there was Pong?
I will only be referring to “game system” games today, not PC games, which are a whole other ball o’ wax. By game systems, I mean XBox, PlayStation, and Wii games. Not to mention that there are actually four different versions of the PlayStation platform, and now you know why I said it can get a little confusing. These games will also be tilted towards the young ones, so don’t be expecting Grand Theft Auto.
First of all, are you looking for the system itself?
Go here for the Wii.
Go here for the XBox 360.
Go here for the PlayStation 2.
Go here for the PlayStation 3.
Go here for the Nintendo DS.
Go here for the Nintendo DS Lite.
