This is an official Nintendo training video from 1991 demonstrating how Nintendo retailers should deal with difficult customers in a variety of different situations. Me? I don’t need
In proof you’re never too old to Smash Bros, this is a video of very talented pianist and Youtuber BearKeys performing a medley of video game themes on an old Roland Juniper-6 synthesizer from the early 80’s, which produces an absolutely wonderful sound for this use. And if you like
