Ode to my Atari ... God forbid

- One of the first Nintendo-

few days ago I accompanied someone to buy a game console , was total surprise for me to learn of the high prices and bring a thousand stupid things now. This made me think - and it sounds backward-in for me, the only interesting in the tedious world of gaming is Atari famous. This huge square box with a brick and widely used in the 80's and early 90's cause in my nostalgia for the amount of hours I was entertained during my happy childhood, so if now returned to being a girl would rather have a Atari that an X-box or a PlayStation. Alas, times change, but I think I'm past it, never found another device that will match.

was interesting as the games were made of simple stories with simple-minded heroes, images of fantastic worlds were pixelated but still amazing. There were no introductions with a back story, the characters did not even have a face defined and scenarios were flat and repetitive. However, it did not matter, games are played and now. Finally fun, a lot. Released

with a very peculiar Atari called Duck Hunt , which was used with a gun and was shooting ducks in the sky to death, the idea was to accumulate to 10 dead ducks in each round in order to gain more points. Failure to do so, leaving the bottom a dead dog dirt from the mocking laughter of the hunter. This character was a constant challenge for me, because just one look ridiculous face caused me to kill him, but how could I ever encouraged to kill more ducks. I remember

legendary Super Mario Bros , well known among my fellow gamers, whose goal was a character chubby, ugly and big-bellied (Mario), rescue a princess imprisoned in a castle one reached after killing several art worlds recreational or balls of fire to several monsters, turtles and other specimens that I never knew what the hell they were. The adventure was fascinating and the time you spent trying to be eternal, but I never had the deed sought to rescue the princess and all that was in the castle were a mushroom-headed scarecrow and signs in English. Judging by such appearance, I do not think it was the princess who appeared in the cassette box. As they say, Super Mario got me for a ride.

not lying when I say that was much time which I devoted to these rudimentary game typical of the time, because in some part helped calm my child alone which used to be. My cousins \u200b\u200bcame to my house to play on my console because they only had one game and I had a cassette with more than ten, which in some I was the expert. Therefore, it made me feel important and apart from that company brought me in a nutshell was perfect. Today, the Atari I played with the dead, the industry grew so fast that little time to make the most of mine others came more powerful, with better qualities and Super Mario was flying and other tricks, so I was a dodo became even out there still is stored somewhere in the house.

is quite clear that everyone who played Atari for hours, we could write a memoir of our evening of entertainment not exactly glued to the TV watching soap operas. Some were "hard" in any game in particular and others also had the fortune to meet the princess from Super Mario . I miss those times, because in the midst of the bad things that could become "According to scolding from my parents-always brought me company and kept as a souvenir thumbs swollen from pressing the buttons on the control.

consoles now come with a thousand artifacts quirky, and even the controls vibrate when you do something wrong. Damn my luck, having had a gun and vibrator wireless, I probably would have killed the dog that made fun of me night after night, and maybe Super Mario bullet would have given to this fungus was posing as princess every time I came to a castle.

Facebook ...

was that day, May 28, 2009 when Juan Carlos Vargas * out of his work and was preparing to take Transmilenio on the site from north to his home, located in another sector of Bogota. What he never imagined, is that the day his life changed forever.

Just by that date, stood a regular media campaign by the spread of H1N1 virus, as journalists from a local station were making a note on the proper use of masks. In those encountered with Juan Carlos, who like many ordinary people, he felt fortunate that I interviewed. They just wanted him to give his testimony to the campaign delivery masks in public places and places mass, and incidentally, we report on its proper use to prevent infection. He answered questions industrious making it the journalist, so unlucky that when taught how to wear the mask, put it in reverse, causing grace, and even some reporters laugh (both study as to who made the grade) and I guess the viewers. It was a "direct" and certainly something particular funny. So far so normal, as the news ran its course as usual.

I did not see the news that day, and less than City TV, but it was impossible for me not knowing. Thanks to Facebook, in no time, the video was released, and a good percentage of my contacts, almost all under the title " while ago I laughed so " had raised or discussed. I can not deny me curious, and seeing an uncontrollable laughter. Soon some of my friends and acquaintances made the witty remark of that newscast City Direct TV, where a man face mask is placed upside down, looking ridiculous in front of everyone and last but not least, the shameful episode spread faster than the same H1N1 virus across the network of Facebook and I would say beyond that.

Today, Juan Carlos, or " type masks" as they call in the network has its own fan page created exclusively for their original maneuver on TV, and when you have 109,280 fans, and a few more groups on Facebook. Without a doubt, is already a cyber - celebrity, even has sparked discussions among fans, such as " you would do if he found him on the street " where the vast majority think they would ask for an autograph or would take a picture with him.

This has the dichotomy, because according to what is found on Facebook, the poor Juan Carlos visited him in his work, cell phone call or stop in the street laughing. I do not think you like from a lot of his early fame. The phenomenon masks, as I dare call the fact, change in hue when the subject feels violated their dignity, and of course, no wonder. I guess no one, not even he would imagine what he would joke.

It's amazing how you can pass the anonymity of overnight thanks to the internet and especially social networking sites like Facebook. It's scary how you can become the direct object of discussion and criticism by thousands of people who do not even know and even more outrageous to think that anything you say or do and wake up comments, may perpetuate the memory of the netizens through Facebook. That is no pleasant experience of Juan Carlos and a thousand things but, I repeat - and I hope that God free

Facebook "!!!!!

Author's Note : I do not intend to defame most popular of Juan Carlos, but for those who are not sure that I speak, here I leave the link (do not know why not load the video) You Tube with the note Bogotano City News TV channel.

* NO Name changed to protect identity. Juan Carlos Vargas is the name given to the "type masks " on Facebook. We are not aware of his veracity.
