(Don't) Press Start To Play

It's a little bit slow on the video front right now since I'm in the middle of a massive set of self-inflicted computer issues on my home network, and the computer I was using to capture video is currently sitting in pieces (I've tried capturing video with it anyway, but it's being stubborn).

In the meantime, I thought I'd talk a little bit about a book I came across recently, the attention-grabbing Press Start To Play.

How to Win at Nintendo Games

When I was a kid, it was tough for me to get the video games I wanted. They were super-expensive (relatively speaking), and television and magazines kept telling me that they were super cool and super amazing and super fun and made playing video games seem like a thing that I just had to do.

But, when the NES was the current generation, the games cost a lot of money, and since I didn't have a job, I couldn't buy very many. But what I could buy were books about video games, and that's pretty much the same thing, right?
