Those intensive gaming moments where you're sitting down with a good game, and you continually slog through a torrent of losses to come out on top. I freaking LOVE those moments! :D

This is what invigorates me about gaming. It's when you buckle down and tell yourself "I'm gonna BEAT this game" and you brave through tons of losses and heartache to finally do it, or at least overcome a seriously tough challenge. That clip at the end of the video, where he beat the Turbo Tunnel of Battletoads on the NES made me both feel old and smile at the same time. :'D It's great revisiting those memories, and it makes me want to get on the video games I have now and not take them for granted!

I wouldn't exactly say that I live for games, but man did I used to! Seeing this video makes me want to get up and go play some Battletoads myself. Or something hard like Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, or Vanquish of the newer PS3.

I hope this video has inspired some of you retro gamers and younger gamers alike to get out there and play some challenging games! :D
