This is the Cal band playing a halftime show from earlier this month. It's their "video game show," and it's pretty much the coolest thing ever. They run through a number of classic game songs, all while forming scenes from the games out of the band itself. It's got everything from Pong and Tetris to Zelda and Mario, and it's amazing. It makes me want to play Nintendo and join a drum line all at the same time. Well, maybe just play Nintendo, but you get the idea.

I didn't even know what most of the stuff was!

I spent more time outside than I did playing Nintendo!

me too

we couldn't afford one till i was seven, and even then, we didn't play it as much--mostly because back then everyone played outside

video games back then were a cultural thing, with mario and zelda and tetris all household names

today's video games are all about big business and money

it used to be a treat, now its an obssession
