All my friends are pirateheads
5.17-Okay, I admit it. I'm a nerd.
They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. They also say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I think it's going to be a rough 1000 miles.
I've been playing video games since about the age of three. Back then, I held a sega Genesis controller in my little hands and probably had no idea what I was doing. But I enjoyed it. For Christmas of 1996 or 1997, my brother and I recieved an N64 and a copy of Goldeneye: 007. I had played my friend's NES and SNES once or twice, and had already gotten close to Nintendo. Emotionally, not physically. The N64 is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. And the worst. No, not worst. And actually second greatest.
My sister's ex-boyfriend, Leo, who is probably the coolest guy I know (besides Jeff), one day brought over a game of his for the N64. It was called The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. This game is quite simply the reason I still play video games today. If you have never played it before, I'd recommend you do. It will change your life.
Anyways, the point is, now, 9 or 10 years later, here I am with a Gamecube, a DS, and 5 versions of the Gameboy. But my nerdiness has expanded beyond the realm of gaming- no, wait, it hasn't. Well, not much.
By the way, I'm not a "fanboy". I don't like Nintendo more than Microsoft. Sony, yes, Microsoft, no. I'm saving up money for a 360 and a Wii. In case you didn't know, the Wii is Nintendo's next system. I'm not going to say a word. So anyways, I've been pretty tolerant when it comes to games for a certain system. However, there is one issue that can split nerd couples forever: The Pirates vs. Ninjas debate.
I don't see why this ever came up in the first place. Ninjas are WAY cooler than Pirates. Sure, Pirates have guns and boats and cannons and steal treasure, but Ninjas have swords and metal stars and the really cool ones can turn invisible or fly. I may seem a little biased, but this is the one subject of which I think everyone has a stance. I don't believe it's possible to like Ninjas and Pirates equally.
Where am I going with this? I have no idea. But when it comes right down to it, Robots beat them both. Why? Because robots aren't human.
