I'll Never Be A Memory

“On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.”

“Video games are meant to be just one thing. Fun. Fun for everyone.”

Please, don’t be sad. Everything is going to be fine. Please understand.

I have never in all my life felt as sad over someone’s passing as I have for Satoru Iwata’s. This man, since he became the CEO, has transformed Nintendo’s image into that of the fun loving, goofy company that we all know and love today. With the Wii, Iwata taught us the most important thing about video games; having fun, no matter what your skill level or age. This direction has set Nintendo apart from everyone else, and it’s a direction I wholeheartedly admire. Watching Nintendo Directs were some of the best moments of my life. Seeing the President of such a large company participate in such streams gave me so much hope. That, and his tendency to still work on games, and the selfless act of cutting his own salary instead of mass lay offs when the Wii U underperformed, showed Iwata deeply cared for his business, his profession, and everyone that was under his wing. Such a great man, that always put a smile on his face, even in the face of death, will surely be missed.

At the time of writing, I’m incredibly distraught over his passing. But I know, if there’s one thing he’d want us to do, it would be for us to be happy. He always put on a brave face, and smiled, because he wanted us to smile back. So, I promise Iwata that I will keep playing Nintendo, for all of my life, and keep creating happy memories. From solving a puzzle in Zelda, to catching that one shiny in Pokemon I’ve been trying to catch for weeks, I’ll honor him by playing the series’ that he in the past had a hand in creating.

You don’t have to be a gamer to appreciate Satoru Iwata’s incredible legacy

Let me tell you a little story…

There once was a beautiful woman that met a gorgeous man..

They fell in love and on February 14, 1988, they got married

A few years later, on April 28th, 1993, they had their first child

And just two years after, they had their second child

Now their first child was one to be reckoned with. She was spunky, cute, and had a bit of spice to her. Her complexion had been taken from her father, and she loved herself just the same; it didn’t stop her from being the beautiful black woman she was created to be.

Of course, there would be a ruckus on #BlackOut about if I were black. This is not a way to prove anything to anyone, this is simply to show that melanin comes in all shades. 

THIS SHIT WORKS OKAY, I AM DEAD SERIOUS.

The last time I saw this on my dash, I didn’t think it would happen, so jokingly I wished I could go to a fun. concert.

AND GUESS WHAT, I WENT TO A FUCKING FUN. CONCERT.

I SAW THIS ON MY DASH THE OTHER DAY AND THOUGHT “ITS WORTH A TRY” SO I WISHED I COULD GET A 3DS

LITERALLY LIKE 4 DAYS LATER MY DAD SENT ME A PICTURE OF THE 3DS XL HE BOUGHT FOR ME WHILE I WAS AT SCHOOL

GUYS.

HE FUCKING CALLED ME 20 MINUTES LATER

20 FUCKNG. MINUTES. LATER.
