Nintendo Owns Memories
Oh man, I can't believe I spaced and forgot to tell you guys about this. Last Friday, I was reading The Onion, and saw this article: "Half Of 26-Year-Old's Memories Nintendo-Related." As with 99% of The Onion's articles, it's pretty funny. Scientists discovered that a young man's brain is half-full of Nintendo. Then again, some might say half-empty! For instance:
"It takes Mr. Jenkins 4.33 milliseconds to retrieve the memory of holding his newborn sister for the first time, but just 1.09 milliseconds to retrieve the memory of knocking Pikachu off the Sector Z platform with Donkey Kong's 'ground pound' maneuver in Super Smash Bros.," McCarroll said. "In fact, the only school-related memory he is able to review as vividly as the underwater-bomb-defusing level of Nintendo Entertainment System's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is his first day of college, which was spent playing multiplayer GoldenEye 007 with his roommates."
It's always fun to read about videogames in other media and see them actually get things right!
