How video games are portrayed on TV
 

This would be sad if it wasn't so hilarious how little the writers know about games.

I don't know what's worse. Somehow writing a program into a ROM file on an unwritable CD, or portraying Prince of Persia as a difficult game?

Oh Sarah Shahi....you were so hot and awesome on The L Word, and now you're in this crap?

:no:

One could infer that hack drama writers have social lives that don't involve video games.

The first inaccuracy is a chick being good at a video game.

Not true. A lot of them kick ass at Ms. Pacman.

Ya know... gobbling balls.

...

Joke, joke.

Ustwo, that's a horrible comment. Or was it supposed to be a joke? I never pick up on those.

I'm terrible at video games, never tried to be good, (enjoy watching far too much) but my friend Jessi is spectacular.

This was funny to watch. What show is it from? Didn't recognize any of the actors.

He was probably joking but it is true that men are better than women at certain kinds of games.

Wow, I had heard about this somewhere, but seeing it is truly awe inspiring. All the text you see on the screen ("You win, go to level 6") is added.
They could have chosen a crappy, not very famous game to butcher. Prince of Persia was a fun and had great platforming levels.

If you listen really closely while you watch, you can hear each of those Actors' souls dying a little bit.

I wouldn't not agree with this statement. If you wanted to make a more accurate statement it would be "On average men are better than women at certain kinds of games." The collective rarely ever says anything about the individual absolutely.

On average it's not a bad show.

This was just one of those moments where you have to wonder what the fuck were they thinking?

Even my mother, now nearing 50, commented on how lame that was. Of course, it was in between marathon sessions of Phantom Hourglass, so, maybe she's an exception.

WHO THE FUCK THINKS PRINCE OF PERSIA IS A HARD GAME?!

And yea, I don't know how ANY self-respecting middle-aged man living in his parents with a Capt Kirk costume is going to let himself be beat by a little girl.

Idiots!

What show is that from?

I don't understand that at all. So some office junkies sat around for 8 hours (or however long it took to win that game, haven't played it yet) and watched that girl win a video game?

1) Prince of Persia was quite difficult.......I don't get the comments on people saying the game wasn't hard! Sure, it wasn't mind-numbingly hard, but that game is one of the more difficult platformers out there - it's much harder than, say, Jak & Daxter or Ratchet & Clank

2) This is from the 2nd Prince of Persia games; they began to degenerate after the first one. I guess it's hard to follow The Beatles.

3) Prince of Persia is just simply fucking awesome. This horrible video reminded me of how awesome the first game was for GameCube. Just a flat out awesome, incredible videogame!!!!!!

4) This video was bad, but it could have been worse (i.e. randomly and wildly mashing buttons at an incredible rate of speed, etc.)

I didn't know video games had numbered levels anymore.. The video was kinda stupid but you guys should watch the CSI:NY Second Life Episode... /groan.. I swear I've seen like 6 shows on this year where they had to somehow log into the game and meet up with a character there to track his IP or some shit.

It was a joke, and all good jokes have some element of truth in them.

Girls as a rule are pretty bad at 3d style video games. Their will be exceptions to this rule, but put a team of average 14 year old boys and one of average 14 year old girls at a game like that neither has played before and where would you put your money on which team winning?

Life.

The last time I saw so many people absentmindedly watching one person play a video game there was a bong and a huge joint being passed around the room.

boys. I haven't had time for gaming since i started to support a family.

Hehe you need to speak for yourself there. I play with a group of 30+ year olds, all married and only one without 2+ kids. Being that I work with kids all day long is nice to shoot some random 15 year olds in the face on line.

I wouldn't not agree with the opposite of what this statement does not state.
