buddy, and, yes, former
Wesley Crusher Wil Wheaton has discovered the
Virtual Console, and like all reasonable people who have just been given access to
Alien Crush, he likes it! In a column on the generally-not-safe-for-work SuicideGirls website, Wil traces his NES experiences, taking us back to a time when people voluntarily played
Kung Fu. After playing a demo NES in a store, he attempted to persuade his parents to purchase a system, calling it "...probably the most advanced computer that will ever be made."
Naturally, when the Wii came along and gave him another crack at
The Legend of Zelda and other NES classics, Wil was more than pleased to share the games he grew up on with his stepson. We love to hear good things about the Virtual Console
, and we're also glad Wil chose to play
NES games in his youth instead of nefarious mind-controlling
puzzle games. This is probably the most heartwarming article we've ever read on a porn site.
We know at least one person who would probably approve of this week's European VC lineup ... but you're the one who matters. It's all old school this week, with two NES titles and one from Turbografx, just to mix it up a little. So kick back, relax, mix up the beverage of your choice, and enjoy a little classic gaming quality time. You know you want to play futuristic pool! Especially when it was previously announced and couldn't be bothered to actually show up.
