To be honest, I’ve never been much of a gamer. My sister and I never had a computer of our own when we still lived with my parents and we definitely did not own any computer games or game consoles. Occasionally we would be exposed to video games at our friends’ houses and it was fun to play for a couple of hours, but it was never something that we were really interested enough in to go so far as to save up for our own gaming system.
Now, having said that, J grew up with computer games and he still owns the original Super Nintendo (which is like 20 years old, mind you!)… whiiiiich we might or might not have dug out from the depth of our closet last weekend. So besides a little bit of Black Friday and weekend shopping, we spent the rest of the weekend playing Super Mario World. Haha!
This is, I am pretty sure, just a very temporary thing, but as of right now, I am TOTALLY STOKED about this silly game!

December 1, 2010 at 7:13 pmHa! I love that you’re a retro gamer. I still have my original Ninetendo hooked up and play super mario brothers 3 every once in a while. There’s just something to classic about. I’ve been thinking about buying a Wii but I haven’t broken down and bought one just yet.
