Fuck yeah, video games : the life and extra lives of a professional nerd
Daniel Hardcastle (Author)
"As Daniel Hardcastle careers towards thirty, he looks back on what has really made him happy in life: the friends, the romances ... the video games. Told through encounters with the most remarkable - and the most mind-boggling - games of the last thirty-odd years, Daniel's memoir is also a love letter to the greatest hobby in the world. From God of War to Tomb Raider, Pokemon to The Sims, each chapter features a different game, described with countless in-jokes, obscure references and Daniel's signature wit, as well as delightful and detailed original illustrations by Rebecca Maughan. Alongside this march of merriment are chapters dedicated to the hardware behind the games: a veritable history of Sony, Nintendo, Sega and Atari consoles. Featuring a guest chapter by Stuart Ashen (YouTube's Ashens) and a foreword by legendary computer game designer Tim Schafer, Fuck Yeah, Video Games is a personal, joyous, absurd and at times sweary celebration of the sheer brilliance of video games."--Front jacket flap
