    I don’t even need to beat kids myself. I just tell them they aren’t a REAL gamer until they beat Battletoads on original hardware. Then they look confused because they never heard of Battletoads. That’s when I break out my original NES from my 1980s childhood, and Battletoads, TMNT, and Ghosts N Goblins. Original hardware. No save states, no rewind, no crutches of any kind. I don’t even bring game genie, or explain what that is.

    Buckle up kid, because your ego is about to take a fucking nosedive.
