okay I'll go then...

PC - your electric company loves you / upgrade cycle bankrupts you
Console - pop the disc in and play immediately / wait an hour on "system update"
Handheld - totally portable awesomeness anywhere you want / honey look at that ridiculous manchild
Mobile - holy shit this game is free! / holy shit I can't beat the third level unless I pay for upgraded weapons
Psh console part ain't true with pre-ps1 systems :P and man if only handheld wasn't the most true statement I ever see

Yeah, they have a whole series of videos on the topic. They've got more advanced videos about types of SCART for example, and they've just started a series of console by console guides for best picture, starting with the Master System. They've recently added a video on setting your TV and Framemeister settings too.

I wouldn't mind it if instead they labeled it the "You're a little bitch" DLC and every time you performed a fatality, the game declared in Shao Khan's voice, "You're still a little bitch. Learn to play, bitch."

So my 17 year old daughter has a new boyfriend her age. He texted me yesterday.

Boyfriend: So I heard you like video games.
Me: They're my main hobby.
Boyfriend: How many do you have?
Me: Ha. On what system, 360?
Boyfriend: Yea.
Me: Okay, in what genre?
Boyfriend: Lol. We should play sometime but don't get mad if I beat you.
Me: Play what? Fighting or FPS?
Boyfriend: Either one.
Me: I've been playing video games longer than you've been alive, I will destroy you son.

Looking forward to schooling this punk.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

Destroy him. Melt his brain, crush his skull, and grind his bones into dust. Then, and only then, can the proper reeducation begin.

My guess as to why he didn't answer the question: he didn't know what "genre" meant.

DESTROY HIM HUMINATOR, POKEMON IS OLDER THAN HE IS
Final Fantasy IX is the best one

Can't wait to hear how this goes down. :lol:

Same.

I was pretty good at competitive video games when I was 17. The only games I play now are JRPGs, platformers, puzzle games, and retro compilations, however; so, I am pretty sure that a 17-year-old would destroy me in modern fighting games and first-person shooters. (If we were playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 or GoldenEye, however, it might be a different story... :lol: )

Also, "easy fatalities" is the lamest thing ever.
