What do you remember?

There’s an article on The Onion about a 26 year old whose memories are mostly related to his video game experiences from his youth. Some of his memories included beating his friend in Tecmo Bowl, some of the great slams he’s made in NBA Jam, and, of course, the good ole up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Select, Start. Some doctors tested him and he could recall a beatdown he gave in Super Smash Brothers faster than he could remember holding his infant sister for the first time.

Granted this is The Onion so you might have to take the story with a grain of salt but it really wouldn’t surprise me if this was real. I mean how many of us Coderetards remember beating Mike Tyson for the first time? Or our jaws dropping when Samus took off her armor?

Anyway, the full article is here:

Half of 26- Year Old’s memories are video game related
