Are they sure?

Did they try blowing on him?

Jerry Lawson, eh? For some reason I always expected the inventor's name to be Joey McGamePack or Billy Von Blowinnit or something...

Yes, I'm drunk.

I can't believe he isn't Asian....

I will be suing the estate of this man, as his invention forced me to waste far too many hours of my childhood on Bionic Commando, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest.

Same here. A black guy, too.

Well that's too bad... Cartridges made my childhood, what with GameBoy and N64... Damn...
