YouTuber Pat Contri, a.k.a. The NES Punk, has a video about his soon-to-be-published 
book, which I contributed to. I wrote more than 60 of the 750+ game reviews. Further, I wrote 60+ reflections on the games featuring anecdotes, memories, and the like. So, obviously, I'm pretty excited about this project, and I consider it an honor that he asked me to be involved.
*In the time since I published this post, the book has been released, and my reviews/reflections were in the first two editions. However, Pat deleted my writing in the third edition, probably because of the competition from my Super Nintendo books.
