Preface
Antisoc Lyrics

It started way back in elementary school
I began my love for video games when I was in elementary school

I started tryin to be smart steada tryin to be cool
Rather than trying to fit in with other kids, I focused on being smart with video games

got a 286 with 8 megs of ram
I had an older computer model with 8 megabytes of RAM

stayed inside, never got a tan
I spent a lot of time indoors playing video games

runnin QBasic got me coding games
I taught myself how to code video games using QBasic

I made a couple that were good, but mostly they were lame
I created some successful video games using QBasic, but most of them were not very good

got a 486 runnin wolf 3d
I upgraded my computer to a 486 model and played the game Wolfenstein 3D

and duke nukem, too, baby, hail to the chief
I also played the game Duke Nukem on my upgraded computer

I grew up on hits like SMB3
I played popular games like Super Mario Bros. 3 when I was growing up

I would play it all night; it meant the world to me
I was so passionate about playing Super Mario Bros. 3 that I would stay up all night playing it

and when I hit my teen years, it was like a girl to me
When I became a teenager, video games became like a girlfriend to me

it was all I needed to set me free
Video games were my escape and gave me a sense of freedom

a video game junkie I would tend to go drastic
I became addicted to video games and would go to great lengths to play them

spent all my money on circuts and plastic
I spent all of my money on video game equipment and accessories

playing those games till the break of dawn
I would play video games until the early morning hours

much to the dismay of my dear old mom
My mom was not happy with how much time I spent playing video games

Now ten years later, I'm the the same boat
Ten years later, I still love video games just as much

near the same castle, in the same moat
My interest in video games has not changed even though the technology has advanced

I have dual widescreens to my name
I now have two widescreen monitors for playing video games

and a good video card to run my games
I have a powerful video card to ensure that I can play the latest video games smoothly

I'm reasonably certain the times have changed
I acknowledge that technology and times have changed since I was a child

but you wouldn't know if from my games
My love for playing video games has not changed despite the changes in technology

technically my games have changed, it's true
The video games that I play now are different from the ones I played as a child

playin doom 3 instead of doom 2
I now play the game Doom 3 instead of its predecessor Doom 2

I've practically mastered Mario 3
I am very skilled at playing Super Mario Bros. 3

on the gameboy, emulator, and my TV
I can play Super Mario Bros. 3 on different devices such as a Game Boy, an emulator, and a TV

Mario Adventure is the game I roll
My favorite game to play on my Game Boy Advance is Mario Adventure

on the gameboy advance, when I'm on the go
I take my Game Boy Advance with me so I can play Mario Adventure when I am traveling

I'm always down for some Halo on the XBox
I enjoy playing the game Halo on my Xbox

I'm a little out of practice, so I don't trash talk
I am not as skilled at playing Halo as some other players, so I don't boast about my abilities

It's great multiplayer, but it's not the same
Playing Halo with other people is fun, but it's not the same as playing a game with a great story on your own

as the great story line of the single player game
I value video games with a strong story line that can be played on your own

All those moments I got to play
Playing video games was a significant part of my life growing up

on my nintendo every day
I spent a significant amount of time playing video games on my Nintendo console

I wish I could go back
I often think about my childhood and playing video games

to those times - they were so easy
Playing video games as a child was uncomplicated and enjoyable

I wish I could be playing my super NES
I sometimes wish I could play my old Super Nintendo console again

playing ninja turtles with my friends
I have fond memories of playing the game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with my friends

those times they were the best
The time I spent playing video games as a child was some of the best times of my life
