Auto correct lol, Pachter sometimes looks like PacMan lol waka whaka WiiHD whaka whaka yummy a red Apple whaka whaka Nnnoo...... The Ghost of good games to come got him, we never got to hear how Nintendo was going to screw up next week crap and I had my calendar ready! (If Pachter sees this I kid, I know I'm harsh on ya but your not all that bad).
But yes my childhood memories are chalked full of Gaming. Sneaking in my Tamagotchi and Game boy into my desk. Using Pokemon to study math if Rattata does 5 damage to Pidgey and Pidgey has health of 20 HP how much HP does Pidgey have left? Using a potion brings back how much HP.
Learning to type with Mario Typing, a game my school actually let us play in class. Every lunch I wasn't getting beaten up and robbed of my lunch. Be in their learning how to type.
Looking forward to that crisp Nintendo Power slide through the mail slot.
When I wasn't playing games reading about games I was outside weeding gardens, shoveling snow, washing cars or Berry picking just to get my next game. I remember if I aced a report card my mom would rent three games for a week and let me play all week every day watching the clock for it to hit 3PM.
Oh one major non gaming memory. I was in Grade 2 and my moms friend had accident ly not put on her safety break. The car began rolling down the hill I had long legs and was a speed demon. Their was a baby in the car I jumped inside and steered the car from hitting the school portables and instead drove it into the field. It was such a rush it was so exhilarating and I totally loved the positive attention I got from everybody. It was so cool being a hero!
