Lol can you imagine the jump if that’s how it was 🤣
That’s right because playing Dark Souls, I had to insert my sanity in the coin slot every time I died and it said Thanks Obama.
Ah yes the torture boss fight.
At least on the first time or two.
Wonderful mod, that one
A part of me really does want to get onboard with the “there isn’t enough representation of women in video games” train, but I just love looking at dudes’ bums.
movies and tv shows are pretty simple – you had charlie chaplin and leave it to beaver and then the last of us on HBO.
i have a private school/ivy league education in film theory btw. i’m short for time, so excuse the grammer.
i love how it says 1972 while showing the original super mario bros
Anyone else with fond 1970s memories of finding the parents’ lock to the coinbox of the home NES?
I have to admit I miss the days before the invention of the home console and PC in 2012 😣
Super Mario Bros came out in 1985, not 1972. Pong was 1972.
That’s literally not the joke though. The joke doesn’t change at all if we correct the date to 1985, so clearly the error not only isn’t the joke, it’s not even a part of the joke. How is this so upvoted? People just slackjawed reacting like “omfg I remember the Simpsons!”
I think it is an important part of the joke, because it reinforces that no other types of games exist in this guys mind
That makes no sense. You could literally remove the dates entirely and that point would still be made just by Mario -> Last of Us. Having the incorrect date for Mario doesn’t reinforce that point in any way.
I think having the incorrect date for Mario makes it be more funnier
That’s fine, you can enjoy the silliness of an error or fun addition to the joke. But that’s still not “the joke” being made, which is my point.
It’s definitely not the joke, but you can’t know that it wasn’t an intentional part of the joke being made
No, the joke was that since 1985 there’s been no games, but the image says 1972.
Grateful for you both bc I did not catch that part of the joke lol
It’s frustrating how people in charge are so far away from reality.
Remember when Kathleen Kennedy said that writing for Star Wars is hard because there aren’t any books and comics?
She can’t have said that.
Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow was slated to write and direct Episode IX before you brought J.J. Abrams back in. Is this final entry in the trilogy a particularly hard nut to crack?
Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack. There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. We don’t have 800-page novels. We don’t have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be.What the Michael A. Stackpole is she on about?
As bad as that last movie was, I’m still glad Colin Trevorrow want allowed anywhere near it. There are few directors who are that out of their depth when given a big budget…
Hate to break it to you, but…
What the ACTUAL fuck?
Can’t use material you don’t own, if your primary interest is money.
No books or comics*
*That we own the rights to
But they did take things from pre-Disney books (and made them worse)
So on one hand, that reads to me like she meant “we are not pulling from the existing comics or books”, as opposed to “we are unaware of them”.
On the other hand, the Darth Caedus (aka Jacen Solo) might have something to say about Kylo Ren being an “original concept” that “was not pulled from the books or comics”.
This explains so much.
Lol what? That’s like saying drawing is hard if there’s no connect the dots
It is like she is saying filming Lord of the Rings was hard because there were no books to start from.
I have a biased take here, but:
It’s so much worse than that. It’s like saying “We can’t trace any completed connect the dots drawings” when there were 200 already completed connect the dots drawings specifically based on Star Wars.
I would kill to have a Darth Bane movie trilogy or two movies based on Revan. There’s even a Star Wars zombie book they could have turned into a movie at the height of the zombie media craze for crying out loud.
Horribly, horribly mismanaged.
Two zombie books, one set during the Old Republic and then another set during the Imperial era. Both are pretty solid, though I’d give the crown to death troopers since I get some real Dead Space vibes from it.
Have I been playing Skyrim wrong all this time?
You owe Todd a lot of quarters missy.
No, it’s the same thing. You’re an arrow who jumps on the heads of enemies.
Wait, you didn’t think you were the person with the bow did you? The stealth archer is inconsequential to the story. It’s the arrow that matters.
Someone call a psychiatrist, we have another case of Other Games Syndrome.
You’ll be ok. Let’s just sit down and play either of your games. Do you want to play Super Mario, or Last of Us
Nobody else inserted quarters into their computer whenever you died in Doom?
I did once. The quarter fell onto some solder points and short circuited a bunch of stuff. Fried the whole machine. This was back in the early 90s, of course, when a typical computer cost as much as a nice used car and maybe four people in the county had one, much less knew how to fix one. Some original joke about getting beaten with jumper cables. Sometimes the hard lessons are the ones that stick with you most because as I got older, I learned how to solder and perform board level repairs. It’s an insanely useful skill.
You can’t die in Doom. Per the quote - you die after jumping on enemies. The lack of jump button and infinitely tall monsters were specifically implemented to prevent player death in Doom.
That’s why it’s considered a milestone game. Truely astonishingly design.
You kinda undercut your point when you say that the most famous video game of all time was released aover a decade before it actually was. . .
the most famous video game of all time
Doom? Pacman?
Which is?
The point or the game?
Clearly the showrunner has never played a video game.
I keep jumping people in leisure suit Larry and they aren’t dying is this a bug
The Last of Us what the first game yo could play without quarters? I had no idea. That’s pretty incredible.
It’s like hearing someone say “there were no strong female leads in movies before the Hunger Games”
