Konami Code Flashback

7 June 2007

Who remembers the “Konami code” from the good ol’ Nintendo days? Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Select, Start. I was wearing my “know your roots” tee-shirt—the one with the big 8-bit Nintendo controller on it and thought about that code for some strange reason. Maybe because it gave you unlimited health/lives/weapons/powers or whatever the game happened to offer by way of power-ups and I could totally use that right now.

Nowadays, I usually go with:

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Select, Start brewing me a medium triple hazelnut latte.

It seems to do the trick.

Mmmmm... triple hazelnut latte. That's all the power-up I need

Mmmmm… triple hazelnut latte. That’s all the power-up I need these days. But it doesn’t give me *unlimited* energy, as it would in a video game.
