Having celebrities in games is incredibly risky. It's great when they're squeaky clean, winning, an popular, but a guy like Tyson is a convicted rapist, who has been arrested for assault, admitted to being a drug addict WHILST boxing, and has bitten someone's ear off.
Not the ideal role model for kids.
Isn't it obvious that Falco Lombardi is actually a parrot?
Tyson lives one community over from me here in Vegas (Henderson, to be more precise). His house is literally less than a 10 minute walk from mine. I've crossed his path a few times on the walking trails around my home. My first encounter with him was when we were both filling our tanks at a gas station. I spoke with him for about two minutes while we gassed up. During that short time, I had to tell him that Punch-Out!! was one of my all-time favorite NES games (which is true). I also know that he didn't care and barely ever even played the game. He offered me a free car wash coupon (the station prints them out if you fill up your tank). I politely accepted, shook his hand, and told him that his tattoo was sexy.
Why do I tell you this? To brag.
Very cool story! Except that he did manage to play Punch-Out!! for the first time back in April 2013. Perhaps you met him before that date?
I did meet him before that date, but I also thought of that exact video when I was making that post. When I mentioned the game to him, he just said something like "Yeah, a lot of people love that game!" but didn't say whether he had played it or not.
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.
