Superman Is Gaming Kryptonite (KKEnt)
J. Marcus Wrote: As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be Superman. Those of you who are as old as I am can remember the really terrible Superman costumes that you could get for Halloween – the ones with the picture of Superman on the chest. My parents knew how important the Man of Steel was to me, so they made sure I had a HOMEMADE Superman costume that actually fit and looked really cool. At least I had this little bit to help me pretend that I could be Superman.
From my generation onward, however, we could have a little bit of extra help with our imaginations. We have video games. From the days of Atari 2600s all the way through PlayStation 3s and beyond, video games let you live vicariously through all sorts of characters. You can me Samus Aran fighting Mother Brain… you could be a plumber who’s battling evil lizards… you can even join the military and fight for the good ol’ U.S. of A. So why can’t you be the greatest superhero of them all?
