Here's an embarrassing picture of me from high school:

I recently set up a YouTube channel for myself, because that one friggin' VGAs interview I did with the VP of Blizzard has like, a bajillion hits, and I figured it'd be a good tool to put all my dumb internet videos in one place. You know, by favoriting them. ("Favorite" is not a verb.)

Of course, this process required me to trawl YouTube for videos I've shown up in. And doing this last night, while drinking Mountain Dew and vodka (a cocktail I call a "Mount Doom") resulted in me finding a bunch of other weird shit because I wasn't paying attention.

Most notably, I found a video done by a couple of friends of mine. "Nintendo 64," sung to the tune of "When I'm Sixty-Four" by The Beatles.



Robin Khamsi, who sang the song, currently works for BioWare. Dexter, who has the large jew-fro just got his degree in computer something-or-othering from UCSC, focusing primarily on game design. We worked on an iPhone game together last year.

They're both very talented guys, and it's gonna be cool to see where they wind up.

I had bad luck with N64s. I had three and each never lasted more than a year. I loved them, but they didn't love me back :(
What HandsomeBeast said but for the Beatles. Wait, Ringo's still alive? Dammit! That joke was gold!
I was actually never much of a fan of the N64. I think it was sort of a generational thing, and there's a specific age when you bond with a system. For me, it was 1995 with Super NES. I actually wrote "N64 sucks" on my old SNES in big letters with a marker.

I was stoked about the 64 in the beginning. I got to play one at a netcafe before it had been released to the public, but then everyone got one, and it became less of an amazing thing. I remember staying up all night eating Warheads and trying to beat Shadows Of The Empire, which was totally kickass.

The launch titles were all pretty sweet, but I think after Perfect Dark (which I never even played, I've just heard good stuff) it all sort of went downhill. I mean, Donkey Kong 64? Barf. Of course, it was around this time I discovered Metal Gear Solid, and that was an amazing thing.

Regardless, I respect that people have a lot of love for the system. If I'd been two years younger when it dropped, I'd feel the same way.
To be honest, I'm not too big on the N64. The games on that system, with a few exceptions, just haven't aged well. Though I know most people love it, so I think I'm in a small group. :/
