The very first game I ever played was the deadliest game of all....Contra. It nearly made me quit this hobby, running away ashamed and immasculated. But something about this thing called videogames kept pulling me back. We started studying together. We eventually started going out. Now, we're lifelong mates in this topsy turvy joyride known as life. Games like Halo and Final Fantasy became intimate friends. Mario became the name of every plumber I've ever used. Kirby the name of every sentient pink mass I've ever known. I can't quit videogames. Ph, did I ever finished Contra? No, I did not.
