Video Games with Nostalgic value
Time

It was probably 1991 or so when this game hooked the 16-year old me. I played it on a B&W TV. The story is good, the music is great - an absolutely engrossing atmosphere. Really, the B&W probably added to the experience.

I played way too many seasons of this. I still remember a few details about some seasons I played through:

  • On the last game of Dallas' season, I needed a huge game from Emmitt Smith for him to win the rushing title. I got it by rushing on basically every play despite the computer's ability to utterly shut down the run at the end of the season. It was something like a 300 yard game.
  • When I played a Raiders' season, I trailed 14-3 at the half of the Super Bowl against the 49ers - the best team in the game. I clawed back into it, tying the game in the fourth quarter 17-17. Then the 49ers hit John Taylor for a long one with almost no time left. Steps away from the endzone, one of my tacklers caught up to Taylor and stripped the ball. I recovered it and regulation time ran out. I won the game in OT with a field goal.
  • I wanted desperately to win the Super Bowl with the terrible Colts, but I lost three Super Bowls to the 49ers. I got back to the Super Bowl with the Colts (again versus the 49ers) and was down three points in the fourth, but I was driving for a score when I threw an interception. On the next play, the 49ers ran a sweep. My tackler hit the ball carrier and forced a fumble - and I took the recovered ball and ran it some 30 yards for a go-ahead touchdown. Seconds later, time ran out and the lowly Colts finally did it!

 

...more to come

Not frustrated; more like irritated that they used a cheap device to create intrigue. Lampshaded in Chasing Amy when Jay says something to the effect that "Oh, you think just because fatass here hasn't said anything in ten years, whatever he says now is going to be all profound and shit!?" Similarly, MIB is not more mysterious for not having a name. He's just an evil no-name guy.

Last Man on Earth
Time

1. What two companions would you choose, assuming you could, to be stuck with? 

I have no imagination, so naturally: female, young, and hot. 

2. What two companions would fate stick you with, assuming you couldn't choose?

My ex-best friend and the girl I was dating when the ex-best friend and I became ex-best friends. She is, as far as I know, still with him.

3. If you went to bed tonight and woke up tomorrow to find yourself in this condition… what would you do?

It wouldn't feel very different from my life now, so I'm pretty well prepared.
