My love for video games started as we sat in our living room, way too close to our enormous floor console tv, with the curtains behind us clothespinned to minimize the sun's glare on Frogger, Pitfall, Combat, Circus Atari, and Kaboom -- the family favorites. Though it takes a long story to get to the connection, my introduction to the Final Fantasy series in Christmas of '87 is responsible for my marriage. So, hear, hear, Joe -- and thanks, NES!

Don't forget Excite Bike, I still can't believe that back then we had the ability to build and play our own tracks. You know sometimes I blow on my PS3 games just for good luck!!!
