Recently, I was watching the movie "Jarhead" with my girlfriend. There was a point in the movie where the characters were discussing the Nes classic, Metroid. One character made the comment: "You know what happens when you get to the ninth level, right? Nothing. It just starts over." WHAT! BLASPHEMY! There is no ninth level! There's just ONE BIG LEVEL! And the game doesn't just start over. IT ENDS. That one movie scene sent me on a rant about video game misrepresentation by mainstream media. By the time I was done, my girlfriend (the 19 year old version for those of you who kept track) was horrified. At that moment, I knew. No matter how much I try to hide it, I am and always will be: Tim Lewis -Gaming Nerd. Sooooo......when did you learn that you cared a little too much about video games?

 You'd better hope the older version doesn't randomly google your name and find this site!


Sadly, the older version has been off limits since April 9th. :(

When you yell at someone for thinking the 360 sold more than the Wii.

Early signs: My eyes felt like they were bleeding when I played mario 64 for several hours
middle signs: when I pissed my pants because I was laughing so hard when my friend crashed into me on the last lap on nascar 99
Confirmed: I became more interested in video games than eating. or sleeping. or talking.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

 Ah Bad luck, I hope things all work out for the best.

Back on topic: I don't think I'm knowledgeable enough to be classed as one.

When I realised it was not normal to count down the days to every major release, and get every game that I want on launch (and every console) or to spend all the money I get (pocket money) on games
