At the ripe age of three, Mike Drucker got his very first Nintendo console—the Nintendo Entertainment System—and he was hooked. Every video game felt like a new chapter was opening in his life, expanding his world for the better and—sometimes—for worse. Final Fantasy VII, for example, helped him navigate the pitfalls of an early crush. And Dance Dance Revolution taught him how to almost, kinda move his body appropriately to music. <ASIN:1335012699> Mike split his career between gaming and comedy, including jobs at Saturday Night Live, then Nintendo, before returning to comedy with a job writing for The Tonight Show. In this memoir, Drucker combines personal stories and gaming history to explore the ways that electronic entertainment can save us from ourselves. Good Game, No Rematch is a love letter to video games and the people who play them. Author: Mike Drucker
