Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

Happy 40th anniversary to the NES! In 2006 — 19 years ago now! — I wrote a small book all about the system's launch on October 18, 1985. It got my foot in the door at IGN, leading to the beginning of my game journalism career! (Its digital version is on sale at NFMagazine.com if you're curious!)

Thank you, Nintendo Today app, for pointing out October 18's most important Nintendo anniversary.

The industry's not quite done shaking things out. Sucks but hey, can't keep it going without a breakout hit.

Anyway, I'm looking for work! I'd love to stay in game production/management so hit me up. Producer, writer, localization, quality analysis. DMs open!

Retweets are super appreciated.

Due to my run covering the original Virtual Console at IGN, I've ended up mentioned on dozens of classic Nintendo games' Wikipedia pages. But I think the page for the Petz brand takes the cake -- there I'm credited *21* times!

Fire Emblem: Awakening is on Nintendo Music now, and the way "Class Change" has been cropped on the menu is hilarious. :p
