If you go to the pinball expo, I think you can get a ticket to see the game museum early.

That's pretty interesting! Believe it or not, my first home gaming experice was with a PC as well, which seems odd since I am a console-only gamer now and have been for a long time. While most of my big first gaming experiences were in the arcade at the beginning, when I was in kindergarten we got our first computer: an Apple ][+. So while everyone was complaining about the crappy 2600 version of Pac-Man, I was happily playing near perfect arcade ports of it (Tax-Man comes to memory), as well as decent knock-offs like Snack Attack. The Apple ][+ also had lots of slick original games. Some of my favorites include Lode Runner, Aquatron (like Defender but you can go underwater), and Spare Change (a creative maze chase game).
My first actual console was an Atari 5200. I played lots of the 2600 at friends and neighbors, but I never thought to ask for one because I was happy playing on the Apple, and I thought those consoles would be too expensive to ask my parents for. But one year for Christmas I got a 5200 and it was a total surprise because I didn't even ask for it or expected it. I'm pretty sure the 5200 was almost on its way out when I got it. I know the 5200 gets a lot of hate, but I was happy with it when I was a kid. That's why I didn't get a NES until Zelda came out, because I was perfectly happy playing Pengo on my 5200. I dabbled in PC gaming a few times during this era to play LucasFilm point and click adventures and later Lemmings, but shortly after the SNES came out, I was pretty much a devoted console gamer, only going back in college to play some Jazz Jackrabbit and Pro Pinball.
I didn't even realize Staples sold games. The Sam & Max games are really good.
While Twilight Princess is still not my favorite Zelda game, I like the HD remake MUCH better than the original. The graphics may still be rather bland and brown at times, but at least they're not muddy and smeary anymore like they were on the Wii. Plus, playing on a flat screen TV helps, too (before I was playing it on an old TV). So now the only thing I can complain about is some of the gameplay design choices. For instance, like how SLOW it starts out. You say you're only two hours in? You're probably not even at the first dungeon yet. Heck, you might not even have Link's green clothes yet! And it really doesn't start picking up until the third dungeon. Speaking of dungeons, I will say that Twilight Princess has some of the most cleverly designed dungeons in the series. And the game does have two of my favorite Zelda characters in it. Princess Zelda herself is pretty awesome in this game, and Agitha the bug lady still cracks me up.
I saw that Futurama game on the app store, but I try not to get addicted to too many of those games. :)
I hope I can get a job at the museum, and then I hope you can visit because you might see me!
Super Phantom Cat seems easy at first, but it gets harder later on.
I don't think Walking Dead is worth renewing a PS+ subscription. I don't een use PS+.
Thanks, and appreciate you reading my reviews!
Video game stuff usually helps me feel better, too. Right now I feel better playing Twilight Princess HD, which just came out. Thanks for reading!
I have every amiibo figure released in the US except for Mega Yarn Yoshi.
I think I'm going to start calling it that from now on.
