I sometimes look back at the many moments that drove me and my brothers to the gaming industry, which we have become a major part of for the last 2 decades. Along the way there are stories I just couldn’t make up (if I have tried.) I have told you about how Joe almost beat Dragon Warrior, and I have shared on Viddler a conversation with my older (and sometimes madcap) brother Eddie about the future of gaming. Now I want to share with you another story from the past, this time it involves cereal, the leaky cup that the cereal was in, and a little NES game called Tiger-Heli.
Okay, it has been raining for the last 6 days, and as I am typing this right now, I can hear thunder outside… This reminds me of the time I have been a part of weather history around here. Joe and I survived five hurricanes – Opal, Ivan, Katrina, Dennis, and Ike – either directly or indirectly. We have witnessed some of the most violent t-storms to date, including the first time a tornado touched down on Montgomery in over a decade.
