Nintendo Pioneer Talks NES Phenomenon
Thanks to Video-fenky for his article translating a recent Famitsu interview with Hiroshi Imanishi, former executive director of Nintendo, about the original launch of the Famicom/NES console, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last week. The Famicom wasn't immediately well-received, according to Imanishi: "We were the new kid on the block, and a lot of places said to us 'We've already seen Donkey Kong in the arcades and on the Game & Watch! You're putting it out again?'" He also describes how the trademark NES controller almost never came to be: "...during development the majority of Nintendo wanted to include a regular joystick with the system. However, during that time, we made the first multi-screen Game & Watch, and we introduced the control pad so you wouldn't have to keep on glancing at your hands while you're playing the game"
I was sitting there pondering if I should fart. My ass was percolating something fierce. It was a hard, coprolitc shit earlier, hard and tearing at the rectal walls. I thought I cleared my colon like a dog on Ex-Lax. I was thinking, the percolating bubbling brown latex paint like mixture with bergs of snickers - was it all out?
I ripped a few sets of ass without event. The farts came off as a sour rhubarb and garbage smell; quite relieving. Bunting a few always feels good.
Then the mother of all farts came. This was promising to end my ass cheek shifting (to prevent impregnation of the rancid gas into the polyurethane cushion) and squirming to expulse the swamp gas already trapped air in my seat cushion.
I ripped ass, and instead, I got a brownie batter mud pie splashing out the crack in my ass; a tidal wave of feculent slime. Oh fuck; it stinks so bad! Now, as I sit here I am stuffing Kleenex in my ass through my fly and the barn door on my underwear. If I can get enough of those in there I might have a chance to congeal this liquidy mess into a brown potato of feces and Kleenex.
Fuck! I just ran out of Kleenex and poop is on my fingers and now as I'm typing smearing on the keyboard. Fuck. This shit smells so bad. I just took my nice champion socks off and put them in there in hopes of arresting further doo doo river flow.
Welp. After about 8-10 minutes and two rolls of TP I'm back. I grabbed a can of Lysol and some anti bacterial soap and am spraying off my area and replacing the chair. I lost my keyboard in action; listed as KIA, by action of the South Colon Regular Army.
Oh fuck, that was a percolating brown festering quagmire of swampy, rhubarby smelly caramelized shit to remember.
Anyone else getting a ? (should be unicode character with a questionmark inside a diamond) after the intro text? Maybe it's just me, but that kinda jumped out.
