Ah Nintendo 64. How many hours did I waste playing Diddy Kong Racing and Ocarina of Time? And NFL Blitz and Mario 64?
But not Goldeneye. Was never into Goldeneye. College students, they were into Goldeneye. Me, I was into Donkey Kong Country 64.
Kids today with their XBox Ones and PS4s will never know the simple joy of a clunky Nintendo 64 rig with its big ugly gray cartridges and huge stupid controllers with the analog sticks that would wear out after three days and the overpriced expansion pack bullcrap things you had to plug in just to get slightly upgraded graphics.
They will never know the wonder of playing NFL Blitz. Mastering the exquisite timing of multiple-lateral trick plays. Doing too many spin moves and fumbling. Onside kicking after every damn score because why not? Why the hell not?
They will never understand the exquisite pleasure of finally catching that effing rabbit in the dungeon on Mario 64. Oh that EFFING RABBIT I STILL HATE THAT THING.
Cool jersey, Eagles bro.
