Watch Jeff's face at about 8:30 when he realizes how that Name That Tune game works.

That's hella exploitable. Someone put something else in the game window and keep Jeff's reaction.

@thundersheep: I'd hardly call Defenders of the Crown a terrible game, it was one of the most popular and well-received games on the Amiga. Put that game in the context of having originally come out looking and playing like that in 1986, and it's mindblowing.

As someone who had an Amiga... yeah, that looks like an Amiga game.

I'm not sure how all of these games managed to be the worst. Usually when you see several games in a session you can see that some stand out as being decent and others being terrible. Every single one of these games was the absolute worst.

Though that Inca music was indeed the shit. Also worth watching just to see Drew pretend he's been awake the entire time.

Philips made my beard trimmer and general purpose man groomer. It is very high quality. They landed on their feet just fine from this gaff. Also, they made the motor in my power toothbrush! :D

It still troubles me how creepy and perverted the cartoon cut scenes for the Zelda games looked. Many children must have had nightmares.

As a resident of Kansas City, I just wanted to confirm that people here do that with the national anthem and it is indeed dumb.

You shut up.

And the home of the CHIEFS!

Kansas city isn't the only one. They do it at Oriels games here as well.

Road. Rash. 3DO.

I'm pretty sure they played 3DO games on an old TNT a couple of years ago. Like Plumbers don't wear ties.

Drew just drew a picture of a dick in the dust!

Drew definitely drew a penis in the dust at the beginning there.

Glad I wasn't the only person who caught that. Also your posts about that happened to be next to one another, weird.
