It wasn't until my cousin showed up that summer. My cousin was my best friend, and when we first met for the first time, it seemed like an impossible dream. ’I think it was a nightmare. I thought he was going to be the one to start the party. But, I thought it was going to be fun. He was going to be a genius. He was going to make my family happy. It was all so surreal.

In the fall of 1997, my cousin and I were in a game park and one of the men who drove me to the park said something to one of the workers: "What are you doing? You have to build a computer and start making your own games."

After a couple of moments, my cousin said something even more important: "You are building a computer."

That's when my cousin started talking about how great it would be to help people get the game, to help them get the game to work on their own. I was so excited for it, and I got so mad at myself for not being able to play through the game until I was done with it. I had to put the game together again and watch as a lot of people got frustrated with each other. It was like a world class game.

But it was not just a game.

The game was a world class platformer—or at least a world class platformer that we were all going to love. There was never a moment when I felt the joy of playing a game that I had never tried. I had to see the characters. I could not see them with my own eyes. The story was still going on.

If you go to the local game store, you will see every single thing I did for the game. They were all going to buy them for me. I didn't want to be with my kids. I wanted them to see it all.

And I felt so proud of them.

I was a kid. I had my best friend. I had my mom. And I wanted to be with them. We were all going to love the game.

It was always going to be this crazy dream that I had dreamed about for so long.

With a few more months to go, I had my second year, and my third year, and my fourth year.

With each passing year, I lost faith in the game and tried to hide it from my friends. I tried to keep it from my friends, but I was unable to do
