STUPID GAME COMMENTS TV
On that show, the Brewers and the Jonas family were asked to name a part they could see Steve playing in a TV miniseries of the Bible. Well Steve has another reason to be disgruntled thanks to a recent episode. During his tenure there, he's been trolled, he's been made fun of, he's been scared and he's even walked off the stage. We should all be excited about the future of gaming because no matter what, we will never go back to a time when people were sold lumber extensions for their controllers.Steve Harvey seems to have a good time hosting Family Feud, but the game show is not always smiles and laughs for the 64-year-old comedian. To turn your controller into a controller that's now attached to a plank of wood. A hole where you could put your controller. The same goes for video game accessories, where just a few decades back, at the dawn of the birth of the home console, there was wood.Ī plank of wood. The quantum leaps that have been made in graphics, fidelity, hardware, and EVERYTHING are almost impossible to comprehend. Perhaps no single medium in our lifetime makes it easier to spot the progression of technology than video games. The Jukebox VJ tried to take away the incredible feeling of driving a cartridge down into your system and feeling it lock into place, the young child's gaming equivalent of driving a sword through the heart of a mythical beast. The moment of grabbing the cartridge, slamming it down, flicking the power button on, and seeing it boot up on the first try. Just about triple the size of the console itself, the Jukebox VJ would let you insert six games for easy loading, taking away one of the singular joys of gaming at this time. The Video Jukebox sought to end that beautiful setup with this cartridge "jukebox" for the Sega Genesis.ĪSG Technologies Just throw your cartridges all over the basement floor like a normal kid. A glorious pile of games, controllers, and wires in this beautiful rats nest that lay in wait like a childhood IED for a vacuuming mother. The joy of a cartridge console in the '80s and '90s was the mess that built up around it. Forget the little wrist straps if you're the kind of family that is packing up the Wii for a road trip, you need a backseat entry breathalyzer for your kids because little David has been sucking back the Everclear again. It's dangerous enough out there without dad working on his new high score in Wii Bowling while merging onto the freeway.
STUPID GAME COMMENTS DRIVER
I'd feel a lot more comfortable on the freeway if I looked over to find the driver beside me had a Virtual Boy strapped to his head and was sitting atop a full PC rig than to look over and see a family of four playing Wii Tennis on the open road. I'm not sure a single video game console or device has been more poorly suited for a car ride than the Nintendo Wii. Remember when the Wii was hot, and you'd see news stories and warnings about flying remotes destroying TVs and knocking out grandmas in living rooms across the country? Well, with this little bad boy, you can take that show on the road.Įstarland Safer to just let your kids use the cigarette lighter instead. Somewhere beside the Thrustmaster Fragmaster, you surely had the Quiflord ZapperTrapper and the Butttronics Butt Blast Max, and you'd be faced with the absolute toughest decision of your life figuring out which one of these ripoff pieces to take home and become wildly disappointed in. When gaming terms and lingo were still so undefined, they would just throw a boatload of "gamer" phrases together and run it. The real fun in making all of these must have been in the naming. I truly don't even know where to begin to understand how you would control a shooter with this thing. ThrustMaster This makes the Game Boy Handy Boy sound safe for work. The Thrustmaster Fragmaster is this moment in time in a nutshell. It felt like there was a new garbage chunk of plastic aimed at shooter fans every day, and you couldn't walk through an electronics store without seeing some new device that looked like it had more use on the set of a Hellraiser movie than on your computer desk.

Gaming accessory creation for the PC in the '90s was the absolute Wild West. I hate myself, and the reason I invited you over here today was to please drown me.

It's my one game boat thing that I sit in while I play my Kinect raft experience. You have to find a way to explain to any house guests what the hell is propped up in the corner behind the TV. This is like if God of War came with an add-on to just give you an orphaned child to sit in your room while you play and follow your ass everywhere.
