No Nintendo Game

A particular line from rapper Eminem's new single, "Love the way you lie," caught my gamer ear.

The line in question is, "You don't get another chance, Life is no Nintendo game." While yes you only get one life, or in gamer lingo one man, life kind of is like a Nintendo game.

A bit about Nintendo games:
  • They are expensive and they rarely get cheaper
  • They are all about being fun
  • They are some of the hardest (frustrating) games ever
  • They strive to be unique and memorable
A bit about Life:
  • From birth to death, experiencing life is expensive
  • Journeying through life is a fun adventure
  • No matter what path you take life is hard
  • Life is the most unique thing their is and each life has its memorable moments for everyone that crosses your path.
That's just a few of the obvious comparisons for the few that may have thought the same thing when they hear this song.

Enjoy the musica of Eminem and Rihanna

Very true dude! I totally prefer the OLD Eminem tho, his new stuff.. it just ain't slim, yo....
And i likes the new layout and pic! Looks MUCH more game-y now!

Yeah, I can appreciate the old Eminem much more. He was able to pull off being a hip angsty white dude in a racey-hip primarily black industry. That and the music at times was much more relatable (especially if you were an angsty white dude who wasn't so hip :P)

The comparisons of life and gaming are pretty spot on as far as these references. I think we'd have a hard time as gamers doing what we do if we couldn't relate games to life in a direct way, even at a subconscious level. Awesome! :D

And of course, the new layout is awesome. Props to the design team! :D
