Legend: The Guys Who Write Video Game FAQs on the Internet
Raise your hand if you've played a video game. Alright, put your hand back on your macbook. Listen, video games are sweet until they get confusing. How do you unlock Funky Kong in Mario Kart Wii? What do I have to kill to get a red laser sight on every assault rifle in CoD-MW2? I'm playing video games to relax, not to work.
There are, somewhere out there in the ether, nerds typing up walkthroughs that are pretty much free Nittany Notes except they aren't red. Who are these mysterious hordes of nerds who can spelunk every dungeon in Zelda and type up maps using only plus and equal signs like some sort of mathematical cartographer at the same time? Who has the balls to log onto gamefaqs.com, see there are already six full walkthroughs for GTA4, and still make their own? This, is stuff of legend. Next time you boot up your Xbox, pour out a little Natty for these anonymous kings.
