Take this documentary of one of the world's most legendary Pac-Man players, Alexander Seymor Smith (best initials ever) as a cautionary tale: Let the world know that there is only one A.S.S. before it's too late. Also, If you ever get caught dangling quarters on a string at an arcade, you may get chased out with a bamboo stick. Come for the hardcore gaming advice with a notepad -- there are some amazing one liner's in here, as well as priceless hand-strengthening work out videos.
I can't decide if this guy is tragic or my new role model.
Yanier "Niero" Gonzalez is Destructoid's founder and guy-in-the-helmet.After 2,000+ stories posted and years of starting trouble on the front page he's now busy behind the scenes building the future of Destructoid. His story is our motto: "Living The Dream".
That man owns fingerless gloves. Alexander, you and I will remain BFF. As such, when I have sex with a woman, I will make sure you are one of the first people I notify so you can be as jealous of me over it as I am now over your fingerless gloves.
You punk kids today are spoiled with your Internet chat and extra long filenames. Back in the day, we had to network with our peers over videogames with THREE FUCKING LETTERS!
That's right.
You wanted to talk games with friends? You either did it F2F (a'member that?) or with three goddamn letters. Try talking trash with three letters. Try making racist remarks about Mexicans with three letters (actually that one's easy. 3Ks). Try spelling "Lezbro" with three fucking letters. And all of the good three letter combos were taken: DIK, FUK, ASS, COK. ACE was just sad. Or SAD.
I've seen another documentary about the guy he said didn't make it to level 16. The difference between the two guys is that guy is running a small company and ASS is still hanging out in an arcade with 12 year olds. How do you spell pedophile with 3 letters?
Actually I remember Fargo from Gamespy once made a video with the history of the ever omnipresent "player" and his cousin "player1" always lurking in the shadows. They should put that up in youtube some day.
I just remembered an episode of Futurama (I think it was the "what if machine" episode with the invaders from planet Nintendo 64) where Fry was playing...Pac Man I think. Or maybe Space Invaders. At the end, he gets the high score and enters his name as ASS, which is funny in itself. Now, however, I think that the writers at Futurama, as clever as they are, were putting a little in joke in there for all of us. How awesome is that?!
