The first time I saw Mario, he was emblazoned across the front of a sweatshirt being worn by a young girl in my elementary school class. "Who's that?" I asked, my curiosity piqued by this funny looking portly man, clad in red, sporting a look of determination and a mustache. "It's Mario, you dummy!" shrieked the girl as she pushed me into a see-saw and ran off. I've been in love with games, girls, and sweatshirts ever since.
