Good Game, No Rematch

Praise for Good Game, No Rematch ""Mike's two loves are comedy and video games. I'm not saying this book will be any good but it certainly would be better than anything else he wrote.""--Seth Meyers ""Video games were my life growing up. I loved them endlessly and spent more time with them than actual humans. So when you find another person who understands games deeply like this. Understands what an achievement it is to beat the jet ski level of battletoads or TKO Mike Tyson or cry a tear when Palom and Porom were turned to stone, you feel like you have met a long lost cousin. Michael Drucker is such a cousin. He knows so much about games, he might as well have starred in the Wizard. To have someone be this funny, genuine and knowledgeable about something that meant so much to all of us... I cannot wait to keep reading.""--Ben Schwartz ""I wish I'd gotten to play video games with Drucker. His hilarious recollections of his encounters with video games, and how they both helped and hindered his life, is such a fun read.""--Patton Oswalt, New York Times bestselling author of Silver Screen Fiend ""Mike Drucker isn't just one of the funniest people in games, he's also one of the most knowledgeable people about games in games. I know few people who have gone from translating Nintendo games to writing rinky-dink Internet talk shows to penning jokes for a staple of American television. In fact, I only know one person who has done that because his talent can carry him anywhere in the world, and his name is Mike Drucker.""--Greg Miller, former editor and video host at IGN, co-founder of Kinda Funny ""Mike takes us on a beautiful journey through the world of video games in a way that no one else could. Writers and comedians are the best at video games because it is our go to activity when we are procrastinating being a writer or a comedian.""--Roy Wood Jr., former Daily Show correspondent ""Mike Drucker is the only person I know with whom I can get real about Regina, Saskatchewan.""--Samantha Bee, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee ""Mike Drucker is the funniest person I know, and so obsessed with video games that he is also simultaneously the saddest person I know. This book is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, and also chock full of tips for beating the hottest games, straight from the pros at Nintendo!! Buy it!!""--Adam Conover ""This book is a goddamn riot... One of the best writers I know has a book, and perhaps the greatest recommendation I can give is that rarely has heartbreak been so funny, and rarely has comedy been so heartbreaking. Don't be surprised if you find your own face in this remarkable mirror.""--Gail Simone ""[A] raucous trip through mushroom kingdoms and final fantasies...even casual gamers will find this a hilarious treat.""--Publishers Weekly
