My mom likes one video game ever: Centipede.  And she likes the idea of Zelda, so she always gifts those to me.

By dad was into two games in the late 80s to early 90s: Sid Meier's F-15 Strike Eagle II, and early Madden games.  Never anything else, he despises games.

I sat around in Secret of Mana quite a bit so I could see pixelated boobs that appear inside a "book"

I had to break it up into 3 different nights to fit it into my schedule, but I finally finished my rewatch of Ninja III

I think I'd be perfectly content just watching Cannon films every month  They never get old.  Maybe someday we get to American Ninja too, because I'm kind of a Michael Dudikoff fanboy.

Prior to our generation, people mostly stopped playing with toys when they grew up. 

The latter isn't a terrible idea.  I know there was some vocal discouragement in the game nights over voting and certain voices thinking they weren't heard.

Cincinnati chili (including the shredded mild cheder cheese) is like butter, you can put it on everything and it will make it taste better.

What about Des Moines Cincy fusion chili?

Dibs on Pikmin 4, Last of Us Part II Remaster, and/or the MGS Collection

Blue Diamond almond flavors...

So, dump a bunch of noodles on a potato or... ?

Hard to say.  Depends on your brain.

Yeah I have the complete edition release.  I figure I'll play through scattershot, doing side stuff here and there, and then decide near the end how completionist I'm gonna be.

Horizon Zero Dawn - A couple hours in.  Not so sure about the early story shift, but we'll see if it pays off.  Pretty fun.  Very similar in some ways to Rise of the Tomb Raider, incidentally.

Ace Attorney 3 - Halfway through case two.  Not sure if I'd do Apollo Justice, Great Ace Attorney, or that Miles Edgeworth game next.

Trails in the Sky SC - 15 hours in and I'm still on chapter 2.  This one is gonna take forever.

In fact, I would say the defining feature of Gen-Z, when boiled down to one word, is Minecraft

Yeah, to be clear, this isn't my personal choice by preference but that one game sold millions of Wiis across the globe and is probably only rivaled by Tetris, especially paired with the Game Boy.  Plus the Wii was a difficult sale, but Nintendo did  what Nintendo does and found that magical, secret sauce to allow the whole package to work and have mass-appeal. 

Did the Wii experience translate well past Wii Sports?  Not for most games, but it did for a few.  Regardless, everyone including their Mom, Dad, Grandparents and Dog had a favorite game on the Wii Sports disc and it was literally a global phenomenon. 

Check the sales of GTA V and Minecraft.  And those weren't pack-in games.

Oh, sorry. Minecraft or Dark Souls or, like... Cave Story, maybe?

“Super Mario bros. 2” usa isn’t a real Mario game. 

Tetris is the greatest Tetris game of all time

The VGS interface is inarguably worse! Everywhere I go there's a damn floating banner following me around and calling me an idiot! 

Does this banner also attack you with sound waves and ruin your theatergoing experiences?
