Teens React to NES

Bonus: One of them says "CRT TV". Definitely future RB material.
They also play Punch-Out! in another video and they way they get used (or not!) to a pattern-based game is very interesting :)

Correct. Nintendo Power at the time broke the story and they tried turning it on (with the rechargable battery pack) and it WORKED. It's now on display at New York's Nintendo World Store.

Hobie would be all like "WTF ARE YOU DOING? THIS VIDEO IS OVER" as everyone who blew on a cartridge gets sucker punched :lol:

Sadly I think he'd of done a combination of both now that i think about it. Normal pink eraser works just fine I think instead :lol:

I think the best part about the portion of the video where the kids blow on the carts is that there is a Trivia box that appears at the bottom telling people why you do not blow on the carts.

I'm checking a list of associates in the brother's area as we speak.

We all know that most of the geniuses that watch this (based on YT commentary trends) won't read all that wordy stuff at the bottom.

I watched this last night. It was comical, but so frustrating at the same time.

Yeah, this one is just painful. :lol:

The guy which said that getting killed in one shot was unfair because you can take a lot of damage in Call of Duty really hurt my heart, thouh :lol:

What's kinda sad is how even the people who get to the stage boss don't really seem to understand how they got there, so they get blown away by the boss. And not by the sniper up top, but by the two cannons that you can destroy completely safely.

But the real cringe part for me was when they kept jumping off cliffs and going "oh, I don't think there's water here". Yes, there's no water there because unlike before, if you look at the screen you'll see there's no water.

Though I wish one of them had figured out things enough to get to stage 2. The reaction to that stage would be priceless.
