"Funny, genuine and knowledgeable about something that meant so much to all of us." --Ben Schwartz

A hilarious and nostalgic memoir about the video games that entertain and inspire us, and even hold the power to transform our lives, from an Emmy(R)-nominated television writer, stand-up comedian and former writer for Nintendo.

At the ripe age of three, Mike Drucker got his very first Nintendo console--the Nintendo Entertainment System--and he was hooked. Every video game felt like a new chapter was opening in his life, expanding his world for the better and--sometimes--for worse. Final Fantasy VII, for example, helped him navigate the pitfalls of an early crush. And Dance Dance Revolution taught him how to almost, kinda move his body appropriately to music. Mike split his career between gaming and comedy, landing an internship with Saturday Night Live, playing Wii Sports with the cast and crew, and then a job at Nintendo, where he named an iconic character in the Legend of Zelda series. Then he returned to comedy with a job writing for The Tonight Show, never forgetting the video games that brought him there.

In this fond and joyful memoir, Drucker combines ridiculous personal stories and fascinating gaming history to explore the poignant ways that electronic entertainment can save us from ourselves. Good Game, No Rematch is a love letter to video games and the people who play them, from a very nerdy voice in the world of comedy.
