Fame!
(or, "How 1/3 of a Page in Gamepro Changed My Life.")

First of all, if you thought this was going to be a page about the movie/TV series about the Solid Gold Dancers or something like that, get the hell out of here so i can tell my story.

The month was November of 1993. One cold morning, I awoke to found the new GamePro(tm) magazine sitting in my mailbox. Of course, GamePro was and still is a cesspool of ignorance about the gaming world, but back when I was 11, it was the coolest thing since Super Mario Bros. Cereal. Anyways, I went to the ProTip section on a whim, and I was amazed at what I saw on page 245.

I may never be able to run for president.

That was me! My name, immortalized in GamePro forever. Instant popularity, if you will. Women surrounded me, other boys idolized me. Of course, I knew in the back of my mind it wasn't me, it was the ProTip. Then all of a sudden, my followers stopped, er, following. And I was left with nothing.

So let this be a lesson to you kids. Don't read GamePro. Oh yeah, and stay in school and all that good stuff.
