Love it and love the quote

Renee: What are you doing? You promised me breakfast.
Brodie: Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Renee, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.
I've met Kevin a few times, and have friends who write for him. Nice guy, but don't ask him how he regrew hair from his once large bald spot. He's actually really touchy about his personal appearance. Must be why he makes so many fat jokes about himself.
I had a biology teacher who was a huge fan we would talk about his film a lot. He was actually in the credits of clerks 2.

3 Ninjas - the little kid used a Game Gear as some "magical tool" type bs thingy... I don't remember exactly. Damn was it korny... i know that much. I only remember this because at the time I REALLY wanted a GG sooooo bad.

I could be wrong but I thought that was Surf Ninjas with The game gear. He could see the future with it. Drew carey replaced it with a dreamcast in latter episodes.

That was Surf Ninjas, with Earnie Reyes Jr, Rob Shneider and some other kid. The younger one had the Game Gear that would tell him the future, or something like that.

There is also a Game Gear in Airheads, the receptionist at the radio station is oblivious to the hostage situation because shes playing a game.

There was also a N64 with a ton of BlockBuster rentals in the dorm from Road Trip, and Reign Over Me had a PS2 with Shadow of the Colossus.

I remember that. That was just wrong.. plain wrong.

What's worse is when you see them playing a game that's on one console, but for some reason are using a controller for another console. Examples slip my mind right now.

I see that sometimes, but I see more frequently the handheld without a cartridge. It's like they aren't even trying.
