6. Running Fast Enough To Fly In Your Raccoon Suit - Super Mario 3
The first two Super Mario games established the core, series power-ups we all know and love. Super Mario 3 took the standard mushrooms, fire-flowers and invincibility stars and ran with them, adding hammer-throwing, sock and frog-hopping suits and of course, the infamous racoon getup. For many young platformers, this was a wild foray into breaking the standard constraints of ground-level, 2D action. For others, Super Mario 3 remains the finest example of platforming game design and mechanics ever. We'll always remember that sweet, whistling sound bite, signaling our top speed and the ability to soar.
5. Bungee Jumping Just Like Pierce Brosnan, Minus The Bungee Cord
"If Pierce Brosnan jumped off a Dam, would you do it, too?" A profound question that some Mother no doubt asked her child in 1997, to which the child immediately answered, "Absolutely, yes."
4. Skyhook-Lunging And Launching Someone Into The Clouds - Bioshock Infinite
Skyrails were a lively addition to Bioshock Infinite's Americana pastiche, linking speedy traversal, ferocious combat and a believable method of transporting goods into a single roller-coaster ride. Open-aired arenas allowed for high-velocity, tactical Skyrail transfers and some truly dizzying, dismount takedowns.
Real Science Magazine called James' addiction to video games "sexually attractive." He also worked really hard and got really lucky in college and earned some awards for acting, improv and stand-up, but nobody cares about that out here in LA. So... He's starting over fresh, performing when He can. His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
