HE HAS ENTERED ANOTHER WORLD

This old Inside Edition puff-piece on the NES is amazing.

Bill O'Reilly saying something positive about video games? Man, this must be old.

  


Also, I think we can take the information in this clip to mean that the Super Mario Bros. movie is, definitively NOT CANON. Rob Leingang's hair, however? Totally canon. Totally party.

Spotted this on MTV Multiplayer.

You said it! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to ring the hints line to get past that tricky hammerbros section in 3-1.

I'm distraught by the fact that the idea their names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario wasn't part of Nintendo's company line.

But but...  he looks just as insincere now as he did then.  Is he some sort of android?  Isn't one's ability with Lincoln Logs actually a test for humanity if you don't have any dogs around?

"Trial and error": I heardthat.

HOLY CRAP!  HOWARD PHILLIPS!!!  That bow tie was actually a growth.  It was tragic.

And sometime between then and now O'Reilly was molested by videogames and thus began his crusade against them.

Seemed like a marketing video. And the only reason this was positive was because it was a time in video game history when people saw video games as nothing more than toys meant for children. When the early 90s began, and developers started proving that wrong, THAT'S when all these critics came out of their holes. Critics like Jack Thompson.

Oh man I remember those days. If only I had a time machine and could go back to then. Those were the days....

Also, I had that Mario lunch box, the backpack and the underpants. That's right! I am not ashamed to admit it.
