While some parents hire creepy clowns for their child's birthday, a video game developer recently earned ultimate dad points after a delightfully nerdy photo session with his son.
To celebrate his baby's first birthday, Ben Stirling used Photoshop to cast his son into scenes from popular video games.

The result is an adorably hilarious photo series that any child would treasure for years to come — once he's old enough. Stirling's son slays zombies in Left 4 Dead, races in Mario Kart and solves puzzles in Portal, among other popular games.
Hopefully, this 1-year-old will grow up to be as enthusiastic about video games as his father. It's only a matter of time before they're both staying up all night for a guild meeting.
