EP Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Human DNA has an information storage capacity that very neatly fits the size of a GameCube game. Thus, it would be possible with gene editing technology to store a copy of e.g. Super Mario Sunshine inside the human genome. Details in image. =Adenine 1 = Thymine 1= Cytosine 1 = Guanine EVERYONE NTNTENDO GAMECUBE.. ESHB DOL GMSE USA USA Human DNA encodes information in the form of four different DNA base pairs (A-T, T-A, C-G, G-C). Each base pair carries 2 bits of data, making 4 of them equivalent to 1 byte. A diploid human genome consists of 6,000,000,000 base pairs, which translates to 1,500,000,000 bytes of information. A single GameCube game takes up 1,459,978.240 bytes of space, fitting rather neatly into the available space of the human genome (filling 97,33% of the available space). Thus, using a hypothetical technology that could freely edit DNA, it would be possible to store a copy of Super Mario Sunshine inside the human genome. e. besierbio.com/7hovmuchifomaionisoredinhe humangenome

So, we could hypothetically make the human embodiment of edginess by creating a Human being by using the Shadow The Hedgehog game as their genetic code?

When can we start creating these "Ultimate Lifeforms" if you will?

The year is 2071. What seemed to be a sliver of hope for retro gamers after an anonymous bioengineer released the formula for a mutagen that would transform your genetic code into old Nintendo games, turned out to be only temporary, as Nintendo responded by releasing a massive cloud of nanobots that would electrocute you instantly if they detected copyrighted code in your DNA strands.
The only way to play their old games now is to mind-meld with one of the lucky few that managed to implant one of their console chips into their cortex before the Great Purge, or wait for them to port said games, one by one, at full price, to the Nintendo SWiiUtchcube 643DSXLi Advance.
