Even though they spend so much time gaming, they don't think of games as art and don't care whether they're good as long as they pass the time. I mean, he thinks that Man Vs. Wild game is pretty good.
Ever check out the people selling lots of games (or their whole collection) on craigslist? I've stumbled across people selling 100-200 games and literally everything is Madden, CoD, Halo, movie licenses, Cabela's, etc... I feel like asking "Damn man, ever think to check out some other genres or styles?!"

I had to look up Dog Football. My God, it's real. :shock:

I always assumed those guys were video stores, but it turns out they're not O_O. I've got a friend with 6 consoles and has only sports games on all of them. Nothing against sports games, but man...

Also: Dog Football has a higher score on IGN than Arc Raise Fantasia. Scores don't usually bother me, but that's really something.
