I remember telling the segment producer, "...[its] Editor-In-Chief is Gail Tilden... it has gameplay tips and maps... it also features the 'Howard & Nester' comic!" (Watch: "High Score" S1, E2, "Comeback Kid", on Netflix. Gail shares her experiences!)https://www.netflix.com/title/81019087

Several phone interviews later, she told me that I was selected! The story of my visit to Nintendo was that I wanted to be a Nintendo Game Counselor. I also wanted to meet Howard Phillips, their in-house game expert and spokesperson.pic.twitter.com/J6urVZNjdN

The segment followed my quest to learn about game counselors and find Howard. Clues were in the form of a letter while flipping through an issue of Nintendo Power and a message on a whiteboard. Everyone was really kind.pic.twitter.com/neD80bOQFO

Reminder: I was just a boy. Gaming wasn't the global phenomenon. To see grown adults play games, and play them expertly, was amazing! Finally, I met Howard Phillips. He was super kind, too. Read more about him: he was a defender of gaming when it was being blamed for everything.pic.twitter.com/ufimTdLWkG

Here's a photo of me crossing paths with Howard at E3 (2009?) - I took the opportunity to thank him again for inspiring me and for being a kind defender of the game industry.pic.twitter.com/x3Uc22fVDI

Anyway, that's "How it started"! Thank you so much for all the kind messages...and questions! Maybe I'll start a new thread to answer some and tell you more about my journey. The amount of RTs, likes, and follows in 24 hours is really weird...

To conclude: A reminder that my opinions & these personal posts are my own. They don't represent those of my employer. I am not your uncle at Nintendo (unless you're one of my actual nieces or nephews what are you doing on Twitter). Thank you for coming to my TED talk.pic.twitter.com/SlQt6Zb5bs
