Sorry folks, he was a pedophile, not a hero, icon, or king.
I have been playing video games for many, many years. I remember having a Sears Pong / snake/ basic programming game system. I vividly remember the Christmas where my brother and I received an Atari 2600. I remember buying my first game (at Sears of all places), spending all night playing, and wanting nothing more than to hang out with my friend taking turns to see who could get the farthest. I remember hearing that a kid down the street had a high score inPitfall that more than quadruped my best effort, and how I would practice and play every night so I too could hold such a record.I must have spent half my youth at an arcade, Tilt, wasting my allowance on any game I could play.One of my best football games ever was played on a very bad 4 player NES football game. Man was that game bad. The field was diagonal, but the game was 4 players.Bill fumbled on the goal line at the last second and lost the game. Tothis day thatmoment sticks with him, and we don't let him forget it.NHL 94 on the Sega CD - I will take on anyone. I majored in that game in college. Firstgame that scared the ever ling piss out of me was notResident Evil, although good, it had no comparison to the first Silent Hill. God Damn that game. The last half of the game I just spent running, running away from everything. Somehow I solved it, but man that game was pure evil. Demolitionracing on the PS1 was where it was at. Toy commander on theDreamcast was an amazing multiplayer experience. NFL 2k, dam that was a great game; too bad EA and the NFL are whores. GTA.That changed everything, not since Doomhad I played a game that I could not stop playing. I could still draw maps of the city in GTA and the first several levels of Doom. Halo was anothergame that owned me. Not so much for thedeath match, but for the multiplayer campaign. I must have played a few of those levees a few hundred times with my friends. Hell, all I have played for the past year has beenBattleField Bad Company. Destruction, vehicles, and snipers, all ina massive multiplayer game -again I am amazed. Just when I think I can not be impressed anymore, bam.
