At first I was going to say "Super Mario Bros 3 proved to me that games can take you anywhere, while Mega Man X, Final Fantasy III, and Dragon Warrior III all influenced me as a young writer." Then I remembered the time in grade six when I wrote a story about Mario and Luigi fighting and swearing at one another while trying to rescue the Princess (they failed). Now I realize the truth about myself: That I've always been beyond help. Thanks, meme!
