NA VC Update (4/14/08): Creative Writing FTL
15 years ago, if I said you could turn on your new Nintendo console and, through what would no doubt be nothing short of magic, you could download such hit videogames like Mega Turrican and Fantasy Zone for 8 and 5 dollars respectively, what would you say? Would you call me a witch and demand I either be dunked in freezing water or, classically, burned at a stake? Or would your head explode from the very idea of downloading games to your home console through the magic of the world wide internet?
“My God,” you’d think. “Such wonders befuddle my primitive brain and confound my senses!”
“I know,” I’d say.
“You mean, every week, Nintendo puts up two more games for me to down…load?”
“You bet!”
“So, I can go play the awesome Mega Turrican and Fantasy Zone right now?!”
“Dear sweet Christ, yes.”
If you think of this week’s update in terms of how you’d react 15 years ago, things don’t seem so bad, huh?
