One can be hooked and still find time for a lot of other pursuits. One of my youngest cousins is in the game design program at RIT and he still spends a ton of time doing other things - parkour, backpacking, kayaking, reading. And he's been hooked on gaming since he was three and I put a Genesis controller in his tiny hand.
Ben, I don't know about every teen boy. I went to school with a lot of jocks before gaming was popular. So not every jock's wet dream, lol.
Matt, even with its crude, rudimentary graphics, it was the shit back in the day. I compliment your uncle on his good taste! As for the Genesis, I still have it, it still works, and I still find games for it.
Chris, it's amazing how we remember what hooked us, isn't it?
Other people using my towel grosses me out. Now I'm going to have that thought to deal with all day, thanks!
Oh, hey, the Patriots are my team! But I am a New England girl, so it's kinda obligatory. I have an autographed photo of Tom Brady and my old avatar on 1up had me wearing a cap with the old school logo on it.
I have the first one on the Game Cube, but it was a casualty of my Gamer ADD and I never finished it. I'll have to dust off the Cube and fix that. Thanks for reminding me about this game!
Hey bambam! Nice to see you in the neighborhood! Pull up a seat, pop open a brew, kick back, and have fun!
Nicely put, Matt. And don't forget to click on the ads, because that's what creates revenue for the site.
Peter, I'm just impressed with what they've gotten up for us in the short time we've been here! I set up my account late Thursday night, and no follow system. Friday night, lo and behold, a follow system was in place! Holy crap! And Nick with a new baby and getting ready to move, too.
Joe, I like the idea of having something more like the FB comment notifications myself, for the same reason you mention.
