6. As in I keep all my games? Yes. As in do you horde in games, When there are weapons to collect (and other random stuff) do you collect them all even knowing you'll probably have no use for any of it. Oh, then another yes. |

For the love of Michinoku, can we please cram our crap into one article without the need for incessant, extraneous pages?!
1. No.
2. No, I tend to find myself on the receiving end more often than not.
3. You'd best believe it, bub.
4. What the heck is a jiggle?
5. When I rage quit, it isn't humble...
6. I'm not a kleptomaniac, but if it's in the name of screwing somebody over for giggles...
7. I don't really play Guitar Hero.
8. What is this gamescore of which you speak?
9. Nein.
10. I hate water levels.
11. Eh?

The guy who more often than not is credited for inventing the phrase "I've come here to kick ass and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum," even though it was actually a reference to a character from the movie "They Live," who was the real first person to use it. He was also played by Roddy Piper. The "They Live" guy, not Duke. Oh yeah, and the movie had Keith David, too. |

- And one of the best fight scenes ever filmed. It's literally like five straight minutes- without musical score- of Piper and David pummeling each other. Roddy Piper was a lot of fun and Keith David is good in just about everything. The list, let's see...these are out of order because I can't be bothered to care... 1. I've never "tilted" along with the onscreen action of my games, and I actually always felt that people who get so into their games that they unconsciously move their bodies and hands to affect them were silly.  2. I have indeed overkilled a boss, just today I overkilled some jackass in GTA who tried to jump me as I walked into a store. Then I hopped into a helicopter and blew him the fuck up a second time for good measure. 3. I wouldn't say that I was a god of Guitar Hero but I would say that I was one of the better acolytes. There were a couple of years when stopping to rule a Guitar Hero demo at Best Buy elicited amazed curiosity, not eye-rolling exasperation. If this particular item is referring to jumping around and acting like an actual rock star then no- though I did sometimes show off a bit when the series was new and crowds would form. 4. I don't know what "turning up the jiggle" means. If it has something to do with breasts, then yes. 5. If "inverse therapy" refers to controls then yes, I absolutely insist on the "helicopter control" aiming scheme. If the term (which is actually supposed to be "inversion therapy", by the way) refers to playing games upside down or something, maybe when I was a little kid. 6. Not really a hoarder but in games where I no longer need loot- for example I'm already wealthy or can't carry any more- it's something of a habit to try to grab it anyway. 7. I think Gamerscores are retarded, I'd never waste my time playing bad games to spam my "rep". 8. I've played a casual Wii game by myself, mainly just to try out the system and pass a little time on the first night when my girlfriend got it. Incidentally that's about the extent of my casual Wii playing. 9. I'm assuming that "waterworks" refers to crying. I'm not really a sobber when it comes to video games but I admit that I got a little misty after finishing red Dead Redemption. 10. "Rainy day" is too vague for me to know what the hell they're talking about. 11. I've never played Duke Nukem Forever, I knew better. Shame, "Total Meltdown" was pretty decent. That was 1998. 12. Ragequit? Oh lord no. I've never had to buy several dozen replacement controllers in my years of gaming. |

See this? LIE! Everybody has leaned into a game. Everybody. (I think it's hilarious watching my son do it, actually.) |

Strangely enough I really never did, I even remember asking my dad (who I guess I assumed would know the answer simply because he was my dad) why people in commercials bounced and swerved when they were playing games. He just kind of shrugged and said "they're excited". I guess I shouldn't say that it's NEVER happened, kids have a different degree of motor control (to say nothing of social concern) and it's something I can imagine myself doing as a wee lad. Here I am spazzing out for this awesome new "Atari" thing in 1982...  But if it ever happened, it happened before I became aware of how strange I thought "leaners" looked- an awareness that's been there as long as I can remember. |

That picture couldn't be more 80's if it tried. Check out the haircuts 8)
(Note also that while Mike claims he never leaned, he certainly seems to be bouncing in that picture)

Lol I do look like I'm snapping up to my knees from a sitting position as if to say "HOLY FUCK, THIS DONKEY KONG SHIT IS BLOWING MY FUCKING MIND!!!"
I love the 80s look of the whole thing. That's a weird sort of circular Etch-A-Sketch variant behind my sister's right shoulder. And dig the E.T. shirt. I don't have a lot of pictures (and no video at all) of different years of my childhood but I'm really happy to have what may in fact be the very first moments of my lifelong obsession with video games.

See, now this is the kind of nostalgia I can get behind. My family has no video either, but my parents were very big on taking photographs, and we have tons.
... less than ten minutes after that photo was taken, Mike was hit by his sister. How do I know? Youngest of 5, and I know that any time the small one is excited about something and the older one is calm, eventually the older one gets irritated and a beating ensues 8)

Heh my sister was reading the Atari manual I think, since the machine was pretty (if not completely) new to both of us. It's a bit off-camera but the Atari is actually hooked to a little black and white television that we brought into the living room (because it was the only one that had screws on the back to connect the metal prongs of those old RF adapters. Remember those things?) Anyway my sister wasn't the violent sort- she actually wanted a little brother and loved the hell out of me when I was little. It was I who was needlessly mean-spirited towards her.  If you ever get a chance to scan some of the old pictures you should post one sometime. |

Mike is in denial. He totally got hit 8)
By the time I rolled around, my sisters were over having a little brother (I've got 3 older sisters, then 1 brother, then me). It didn't help that I was a raging ass (as is frequently the case with youngest children). I'm reminded (constantly) that I once told a friend at the age of 5 or 6 that we didn't need to clean up my play room, because I had sisters to do that sort of thing. Regardless, the result was that I was stuffed in closets or smacked around on a fairly regular occasion.
... oddly enough I'm close with all of my siblings today 8)

Lol nah with me it's just the opposite- only one sister, ten years older, who told me that when my mom was pregnant she (my sister) prayed that I would be a boy. I guess she just had that nurturing personality and wanted a little brother to look after. Yet when I became old enough to become aware of such things (and not yet mature enough to know how to handle them), it bothered the hell out of me that she was the older kid and got the bigger bedroom, got to do everything that I wanted to do, etc. My mom has told me that my sister would be in tears wondering why I was so mean to her when all she wanted to do was love me, lol. If I had several of them like you did I'm sure that they would've banded together to put me in my place. |

Sometimes I may lean just a bit, but it's barely noticeable.
