This is what video games are all about
One of my favorite game blogs, Joystiq, posted a link to this video this
morning. You've gotta check it
out.
Kinda brings you back to the old days, eh? It reminds me of the excitement I used to feel over getting a new system or a new game for birthdays/Christmas' past. The pure joy of peeling off that wrapping paper just to find an NES or Ninja Gaiden or Tengen Tetris or Super Mario Bros. 3. It's unbridled and totally awesome. It's a rush of adrenaline.
That kind of fun and excitement is what I love about video games.

Greg Sewart - I worked with, and sat next to, this beast of a guy at Electronic Gaming Monthly.Now he thinks he can MAKE games.
John Ricciardi - Also a former EGMer, John lives in Japan and scored himself a Japanese girlfriend -- two things I wish I could do.
Kevin Gifford - He's tall, he speaks the Japanese, and he's a great writer. Bookmark this blog now.
Mike Rank - Mike's been my closest friend for years. He's a great guy, fantastic artist, and he has a natural talent for feeding babies that are not his own.
Paige Record - I work with Paige at Newtype. She owns a gun, so don't piss her off or miss your deadlines or you will get a cap in yo' ass. Nah, she's really very nice.
Ryan Lockhart - I worked with this guy once or thrice. Thanks to him, I know never to trust a woman that doesn't like the movie Rushmore.
Mark MacDonald - I didn't write a Pokémon strategy guide, but this guy did. And then somehow *I* got saddled as the Pokémon reviewer on EGM. Where is the justice, I ask you? (Although, OK, I liked it.)
Cindy Lum - I worked with Cindy, I karaoke'd with Cindy, and I bitched about work with Cindy. Cindy rules. Go check out her blog, damn you.
Andrew Burwell - I spent many late nights laying out EGM's Press Start section with this guy, now he's Xbox Nation's Supreme High Art Director. Awesome.
Wataru Maruyama - This guy got me to read Chobits, so I partially blame him for my steep drop into manga fandom. Scope his blog, whydoncha?
