I love being a Gen-X . It means I am old enough to remember a time when we didn't have the internet, the TV only had 3 channels, there were no cell phones and it was considered okay to just walk around your town looking for stuff to do. It makes me appreciate all the comforts of life we have today while also making me less anxious about life in general. people are so afraid of everything today but I still remember drinking from the garden hose and going to my friend's house without any actual w…

A Nostalgic Look at GamePro Magazine from 2004

I recently saw a video on TikTok that claims that Mario actually says "itsumi" instead of "it's a-me". The video claims that since Nintendo is based in Japan, in Japanese, the word "itsumi" means 'superb' or 'super', so really, he was saying " Super Mario " all this time! Amazing!
