July 31, 200718 yr 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?
July 31, 200718 yr 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.)
August 1, 200718 yr 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.
August 1, 200718 yr 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
August 1, 200718 yr Strangely enough I thought the same thing when I first saw that poster. "WTF? A C&C film??"
August 2, 200718 yr 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 !
August 3, 200718 yr Author 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.
August 6, 200718 yr 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. >_<
September 19, 200718 yr 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.
September 19, 200718 yr 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
September 19, 200718 yr "Coming 2004 - maximum requirements" Good stuff! Thanks for the link btw, but now I have to watch them all...
September 19, 200718 yr 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.
