Emily hi so you like to play video games I am a gamer yes oh wow so Emily you originally from New York I know I'm not I'm from Delaware I'm just up here for college Oh what do you go I go to Columbia oh great Wow we're actually just gonna go and yeah now you could say well he wanted to play video games on his first date and the only way to do that was to go home where his parents were not the case this was NUMBER_TOKEN not that long ago there were many options to play video games outside of the house for example he could have just used a portable game like a Nintendo DS or a PSP I see plenty of people doing things like that at conventions all the time but let's pretend for a second that he didn't have any portable games I have never been to a convention that focuses on anime video games or comics especially a massive one like New York Comic Con that didn't have some place off of the side full of arcade games for classic video game systems or even a TV set up with Super Smash Brothers there was no reason this girl Emily had to meet Joey's mom on the first date Joey's need for approval is his mom's self-defense mechanism to make sure that he simps for his mom instead of some other girl because the first thing a girl is gonna think when he brings her home to mommy on a first date is this guy's weird yeah meeting a parents on the first day it was a little bit weird during this episode you can really see the detrimental effect that Joey's mom has had on him because he was extremely lacking and dating experience at NUMBER_TOKEN which is something he feels bad about but when he does the speed-dating event and shows his personality he ends up being the most popular guy Joey nails it every girl writes their number on his paper so Joey got his eye on Doctor Who and there's a good chance she likes him the problem is every girl wants him whoever gets to him first wins again this video is not about the dating it's more so about someone who is perfectly capable of achieving what he wants but his mom for her own selfish desires is holding him back while his dad basically just sits in the background now I haven't been able to figure out what has happened to Joey and the NUMBER_TOKEN years since this was filmed but it seems to me that he was in the process of escaping his mother's grasp before this show was filmed he lost NUMBER_TOKEN pounds and after the show was filmed he moved out of his parents house hey it's me Joey and what speeding at comic-con taught me was that you know it's very hard to have bring girls over the house to introduce them to my mom or to hang out here at my house if my mom's going to basically be questioning whether or not they're virgins or what their motives are with me or anything like that and so basically this entire experience taught me is that it's time to move out even though it appears that Joey made it out I can't help but think about the people who don't make it or the people who are less fortunate okay girls definitely hi I'm Alex I am NUMBER_TOKEN and I am a giant geek my love life status is a mix of forever lone and socially awkward penguin its meme tastic i'm a renaissance
