Game expert shows off...but is it real?
I can't deny this chick seems to be pretty good. I certainly wouldn't have gotten a couple of those. "Halucard"? She did, however, take a long time to answer some of them. Could this be some sort of parlor trick she's practiced with her father? I'd like to see her do that after I shuffled the cards. I also suspect someone was holding cue cards offscreen to coach her (watch her eyes). It's also possible the answers were taped to the side of her sippy cup opposite the camera.
However, she does a mean Sack Boy impression, so I'll give her that.

Cue cards? You do realize that 2-year-olds can't read, don't you?

Speak for yourself, chump. I'm reading and writing at a ninth grade level.

this just shows how old gamers are getting, 'nd the odd ways of raising their kids.
wat i wonder is, is he trying to show that the kid is a gaming prodigies and knows those characters on her own, or how well he has taught her gaming history?

Exactly, it all depends on what you teach your child. Does that child know her numbers? Count to 10? Identify/say the alphabet? Have all the primary colors of the rainbow down?
At 18 months my son had those down pat - I'd guess that this girl is between 18m and 24m or so. I think it's completely realistic that she knows all those characters. Is it the best use of the learning process... that is the question.
