Fabolous: Geek Files
Current system of choicePlayStation 2 or 3. I also have some arcade games in my crib. I have Ms. Pac–Man/Galaga — the one with two games in one. I also have OutRun 2, the sit–down car game where two people can drive against each other, and Marvel vs. Capcom.
Favorite classic game
I used to love the James Bond one that they had for PlayStation and Nintendo 64, where the screen was split into four for you and three of your friends. I like being able to kill my friends. I’m a competitive person.
My gaming childhood
My brother and I could go for days playing Nintendo — we’d turn the TV off but leave the game paused and come back and continue from there. The longest I ever played was 10 hours straight. I don’t think I went to the bathroom.
A Fabolous game would look like …
It would show the life of a rapper. Maybe a top–notch groupie comes into your room wanting to have sex, but you don’t have a condom. Now, most people on the game would just say, “Fuck it, it’s a game.” But then after you fuck her, it’d tell you that the groupie has AIDS and you lose your life. It would have a safe–sex moral.
Video–game crushes
When I was a young dude, it was the princess in Mario Bros. Now it’s the hookers from Grand Theft Auto.
Postshow ritual: games or groupies?
I’d always choose groupies. Let’s just say it’s a happier ending.
