[snort][chuckle][guffaw] There used to be some Common Wisdom regarding old guys trying to "write young" in a desperate attempt to catch the youth demographic, especially in TV shows. This is absolutely an example of that, and I have no idea if they thought it through enough to congratulate themselves on the shallowness of their treatment with the excuse that "Hey! Betty wouldn't know that much about Goth, either".
The big tipoff for me is, of course, how eager they are to play "Sonic the Hedgehog", a long-dead franchise. GTA, Halo, Call of Duty, SSX, Soul Caliber 3... but not frickin' Sonic.
The ten-to-fifteen-year-old slang throughout doesn't help matters any.
I do have to amend one point, though -- out of curiosity I just went looking, and found, to my great surprise, a new "Sonic" game -- more specifically, Shadow the Hedgehog, who I guess has guns 'n' stuff, from the look of things. Sigh. Oh, the simple days of running and collecting rings....
