Gamer discovers deceased father’s ghost car, gets to race him again

Share

YouTube comments typically fill one with shame and disappointment in the human race, but here’s one that just might make you cry. Below a video from PBS about video games as spiritual experiences, a user going by the online handle 00WARTHERAPY00 has written a touching story about the time they spent gaming with their dad. ‘THERAPY00 says that when he or she was four years old, they’d play Xbox with his or her father and had tons of fun up until a few years later when their dad passed away. It was ten years before the commenter could bring him/herself to boot Microsoft’s first game console and when they did, there was a surprise waiting for them. Rally racer Rallisport Challenge features a function that records the best lap-time for a given circuit with an apparition-like version of the car used. Meaning that, quite literally, there was a ghost of 00WARTHERAPY00’s father waiting to compete against him or her.

“and so i played and played, and played, untill [sic] i was almost able to beat the ghost. until one day i got ahead of it, i surpassed it, and…

i stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure i wouldnt [sic] delete it.

Bliss.”

The story has since gone viral, and we couldn’t help but be reminded of the story about a gamer that discovered a stack of mail and presents from their departed mom in Animal Crossing. That’s it; no snark here. Now, if you don’t mind, we’re going to grab a Kleenex or two.
