And an NES game! Pretty great how they could openly market a rated R movie to kids back then.

Oh, it was definitely not kid friendly. It was R-rated, and I still remember somehow convincing my parents to rent it for me (on our VCR which was a BIG DEAL). I must have been 10 or 11. I watched it while they were out and it blew my frickin' mind. And of course, despite being R, all my friends saw it too. That,…

Oh man, I could watch this all damn day.

Already screwed up by posting this outside of your thread, but I'm pretty sure Atari's Adventure was the first game I ever played. Either that or Combat.

Argh. Meant to post this on Bobsplosion's thread. Whatever... I'm old. The Intertubes confuse me.

I think it was Adventure I played first. I think. It was many moons ago.

It's too bad this non-story already has legs, but I'm still going to do my best to snuff it out:

True dat. It's equivalent to "no offense, but...".

Watching this video, I'm reminded how much I actually enjoyed Oblivion. Those Ayeleid ruins were great, and I'm a sucker for Cyrodiil's forests.

So if they'd had consensual sex next to the corpse of their incest son it would've been okay?

And the kicker is that it's not really a hot-button issue at all to most people who watch the show. I'd bet a whole Internet that most GoT fans would not have the slightest fucking clue what I was talking about if I mentioned this "controversy" to them. It's mostly relegated to a handful of websites and comment…

Keep in mind that the number of fans who are motivated enough to either praise or trash a work of art on the Internet is likely quite small, compared to those who watch the show passively and never feel the need to comment. GoT's producers obviously cannot please everyone; they have a vision for the show, and they…

Abso-fucking-lutely. Hell hath no fury like an Internet comment thread echo chamber. A movie or television show is not an interactive experience; it's passive, like reading a book. It is partially a wonderful thing to be able to interact with directors, writers, etc., through social media, but the downside to that is…

Agreed. For those who aren't into shooting things in the face, there are other pastimes, such as books (about shooting things in the face).

"Andrew Garfield looks like the kid who plays guitar in the quad for easy pussy." Hah! I'm still laughing at this. Fucking perfect. If you don't know that guy, you ARE that guy.

It... it was there... but now it's GONE!

I say go for it. I didn't get through all of "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." (shit, I hate typing that out) when I first played it, but I'd say it's a bit like if New Vegas was a pure FPS and you played in Hardcore Mode. You can't create a class for your character, but the weapons are very realistic (for a video game), and your…

Totally my kind of game. I realize it's probably boring to some people, but I still get a little rush in Skyrim just climbing something high and looking around. Not coincidentally, one of my favorite things to do outside of gaming is to go hiking.

Fuck yes. Good write-ups, and frequently quite funny.

I'll admit I haven't played any of the Souls games, but why would you spend hundreds of hours with a game you hated? He's either a masochist, or the game is not as terrible as he says.
