A little laugh from the past

Passing through the internet, looking for quotes in gaming, because I needed it somewhere else, I stumbled over one of Destructoid’s great posts. I laughed so hard, and only Mario players will laugh the same way.

When working their way through a Bowser level in Super Mario Bros, a gamer’s thought process goes something like this:

“Crap crap crap crap crap JUMP wait wait wait JUMP run run crap crap crap run CRAP DODGE THE FIREBALL crap crap crap haha take that you stupid Koopa King woo this is awesome I get to meet the Princess HEY WHAT THE HELL.”

I’m getting sentimental here, but who isn’t sometimes? I think of some of my first games from time time, especially the ones that made an impact on me in some way, or that I just utterly loved, and love. And oh, I will ad a little video to make other players’ day! It goes with the quote. Remember to have your sound on, don’t miss out.
