We're the kind of people who grew up in a world
that included video games. Who explored other
worlds, thanks to those video games.

Some of us are old enough to have stared, wide-eyed,
at a pixelated spaceship landing on Jupiter,
on a Commodore 64.

We've traveled through Hyrule, and saved princesses
from Bowser. We wielded both tongues and swords
against our foes, on Caribbean islands, with Guybrush.

We've ventured through dungeons and alien planets.
And on and on, all the way to today. Screens of all sizes
have reflected their light on our amazed faces,
at all times of day or night.

Video games helped shape our jokes,
our imagination, our hysterical reaction times.

We are gamers. That's who we are.
