Gaming with Jordan

I have a whole plethora of video game-related memories with Jordan, but most of them are so brief, I couldn't really justify making a whole post of them. So I figured I would just put random snippets of memories here in this post - whichever ones come to mind first.
The Super Nintendo was a little bit early for us, but we had access to one at our grandparents' house. We had Super Mario Bros (I don't remember which one), and Jordan was seemingly a pro at it in my eyes. He knew how to get Yoshi in all these different colors, and I was pissed because I could only ever figure out how to get him in green.
We did more of our growing up up with the Playstation One. We didn't do as much gaming together on that, but I do remember Grand Theft Auto 2. We played it the most after Jordan fractured his leg when he was maybe around twelve years old. For awhile, he stayed downstairs on the couch because he didn't want to walk up and down the stairs with his big, clunky cast.
We played GTA 2 a lot on the TV downstairs. He actually knew what he was doing in the game. He knew how to find a tank and go on a rampage. I just liked playing because if you pressed the right buttons, your guy would burp and fart on the screen. Maybe I was a simpler child at times.
When the next generation of game consoles came out, Jordan got a PS2. He also was a well-established grumpy teenager by that time and wouldn't share it with his little sisters. Sometimes, if he was in a very generous mood, he would let us play something on it, but generally, he kept it to himself and played various sports games I wasn't interested in, anyway.
That's why, after saving up some birthday money for a bit, I decided I was going to get a PS2, too. But Jordan argued that was stupid because we already had one (even if I couldn't really play it) and made me get a GameCube. It was probably one of the smartest decisions I made in my life at the time, which isn't saying a lot, I guess.
I loved my GameCube, and it was all thanks to Jordan that I got it in the first place. He used to call it the "Game Cubicle" for whatever reason, while I just called it Gary. One of the first games I got on it was Super Smash Brothers Melee, which I used to play with Jordan and Bre all the time. We quickly unlocked all the characters together. 
I remember when we unlocked Mewtwo. Jordan threw down his controller and said he wouldn't play anymore, because I was getting too good, and he worried I would be impossible to beat if I always played Mewtwo. Too bad he didn't play with us very often after that, because honestly, Mewtwo kind of sucks and I would have started losing if I played as him a lot.
