Praetoris Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I was passing by the cinema the other today when I saw a poster for a movie called Disturbia.Here's what it looked like: https://www.stuff.co.nz/images/291149.jpg ... My first thought was "oh god, not another crap movie based on a game!?" ... https://www.conquerfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/command-and-conquer.gif ... Hum ... maybe I should spend less time playing games!? Anyone else who keeps having these odd associations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Uh... What? Is there a problem with the second picture or am I missing the key to the joke? (The second picture is just "Mobygames. The definitive source for PC games" in black text on a white background.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Praetoris, this is a mild example... A few times as a child I used to be genuinly surprised by my brother moving around when it was clearly my turn. This was during the X-COM fever, naturally. I'm not kidding, I stopped playing for a week because I got scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Reminds me of the time not too long after I got my first computer. At school I realised that I'd made a mistake while writing something on paper. My hands reached to press the keys necessary to undo the action. I stared at the mistake for a while feeling very puzzled until I realised what I was trying to do. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Strangely enough I thought the same thing when I first saw that poster. "WTF? A C&C film??" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Actually playing Rally games on my PC saved me a car once (no joking): It was winter, snow everywhere and i drove slowly and carefully into a tight curve. Suddenly my car's rear slipped away. And without thinking i made a great slide, gave full speed and avoided the guardrail! All thanks to my "rally education" on the Playstation 1. Long live Colin McRae Rally for the PS1 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praetoris Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Punch-line:"Colin Mcrae, saves your life on the road" I've also done the "where's my ctrl-z" bummer just like NKF. I sort of froze for a minute wondering what the hell I was doing trying to reach my not existing keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Back in elementary school, I was a huge Ultima nut. More than once, I tried to "click and drag" things across my desk. Often taking a moment to wonder what the hell was wrong. Luckily, I'm not quite as obsessed with games anymore. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 If you "understand" what is "funny" in this pic, you must have played games, let's say, from 80-90's. So, maybe too long and much(?). https://img201.imageshack.us/img201/3039/1186346204022le6.png Sorry, but I just have to re-post it from NMA, those guys clothes... damn!To me it's one of the funniest game related pics what I have seen in years.

NKF Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 You simply have to watch the Strong Bad E-mail that pic comes from. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number, I can't really point you directly to it, but have a rummage around https://www.homestarrunner.com - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 "Coming 2004 - maximum requirements" Good stuff! Thanks for the link btw, but now I have to watch them all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 That picture doesn't come from an E-mail, it comes from the "Peasant's Quest" video game trailer. Found here: https://www.homestarrunner.com/pqtrailer.html I will school all of you on Homestarrunner. I didn't sign up here as "Strong Bob" for nothing. XD "What did I say!?" "Make good graphics." "What did I tell you to do!?" "To make good graphics." "Good graphics! I come to work and I have to look at this mess!" "I can make good graphics..." "And you better make good graphics. I'm supposed to release a video computer game on TV without this graphic!" "What?" "You heard me!" Ahh... I was still in High School when that one came out.
