The Best Videogame Viralvideos
Saturday, March 29th, 2008Back in the day, I remember I asked for a new game console and my parents wondered in awe at me. “Why do you need that?” they said. You have that old piece of junk that you always play with. I’m not going to fork out a bunch of money to give you that. Get a paper route!
But in a way that is how nostalgia can start for everyone. In short, here are some of my favorite video game nostalgic moments to bring back some memories to you:
If Sean Hannity and John Gibson saw this video they would probably have an aneurism and topple over. But let’s face the truth, as there is nothing cuter than children filled with greed and hysteria on Christmas day. Months ago my dad caught me ruffling through the family videos. I explained I needed them for nostalgia; though, in reality I was performing a death con mission in the instance my parents were smart enough to make a few bucks by mailing in our Christmas tapes to America’s Funniest Home Videos or Good Morning America. Who needs Cocaine or Speed when you have Nintendo 64!
This is one of the more famous Videogame Viralvideos, because it’s pretty sweet and has been around for sometime. Chicks dig musicians and I wish I could play the guitar. I played the clarinet in high school but it was never as awesome as this guy. Although, I must say my clarineting abilities were pretty amazing. It never provided me with any American Pie shenanigans, though, just a trip to Disneyworld marching outside of the Orange Bowl and the Jaws ride. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, and Curt Cobain had to die at 27 to be immortalized. This guy has it made!
In the ’80s there was nothing better than the uprising of Rap and the Nintendo, right? Before people started to sue over frivolous law suits like the McDonald’s coffee inferno, the auto pilot of a mobile home, and a little kid getting his guts sucked out by a pool vacuum, Nintendo played it safe and protected its corporate holdings by warning you: “your parents help you hook it up”. Apparently, no one cares that their Wii controller gets stuck in their hundred inch plasma screen television because they don’t have a handle on it. Eat your heart out, Grand Master P.
This one is added here for my own nostalgia. I have a hedgehog and he is my buddy. This childhood jingle made me drive 150 miles to get him from a breeder. If you’re lazy, they have specially designed boxes with little holes which they mail to you. Michael Vick is in my hometown of Leavenworth for animal cruelty, but it’s okay to Federal Express a hedgehog? Anyway, the Sega CD was not the most popular system but your buddies awed at the cinema. Sonic CD was by far the best Sonic video game that was made, and I am still a little bitter that Sega sold out to Nintendo, of all people. Sacrilege! Of course Sonic is going to mangle Mario in Smash Brothers. Mario may be trained in the plunger but Sonic has quills. Not even my roommate’s cat can figure out the complexities of a hedgehog. Enjoy Sonic Boom and reach for the other side of the rainbow.
Hungry, why wait when you can cook a steak on your PS3? I guess if you get tired of playing Tekken you can have a nice rib-eye instead. Maybe this guy paid the $600.00 and then it just broke down, so he decided to make it useful (instead of sending it back in for repair). Upcoming games for this console include George Foremen Grease Punch Out, eggs Benedict, French toast, and my favorite, potato wedges. This is American boredom at its best.
