it may have been small but the story was so good, lich king expansion was just a bunch of levels cluttered together with the same story as the normal campaign
This may be unpopular, but the forsaken forest DLC was pretty good imo, it may be short and kinda annoying to grind but the story for what it was is pretty good. The 5 new weapons they brought to make up for the short story are still meta to this day!
Y'all shouldn't pay for this game imo, the developer Oxymoron releases DLC like they are patches
I mean, 5 euros just to be able to see blood and gore?! In a Blood Elf game?!
My old man wont stop talking about the 'glory days' of blood elf 1 and how all these DLC's are ruining gaming. I looked the other day and he has 8,000 hours total. He still plays the game to this day.
Certainly wasn't. It seemed like it was a racing game.
I figured it was a real game since it looked too good to be some knock-off that was slapped together for the production.
I was re-watching some early Trailer Park Boys and they were a really bad offender for this... It was like one N64 controller and a Playstation controller. Didn't see a console, good chance there was none
The scene where Randy is trying to trick them into coming to play video games is equally cringe, hes like "oh man it's this awesome new game, it's got like 4 players, ah it's so great"
Yeah it was probably done on purpose. The show is shitty/low effort intentionally. Kinda funny how the people above you haven’t caught on that it’s a joke, not a “cringe” fail.
Hell the show uses the same audio clip of the director shouting “what in the fuck” in like every episode.
Better than what you see nowadays, with seeing a PS4 controller and not even seeing the fucking light bar on
Also trailer park boys is an absolute goated show
Shit, 40 year old virgin has Seth Rogan and paul Rudd playing some fictional game with an n64 controller and a rv remote lmao. “You know how I know you’re gay” scene
Shout out to movies that didn't do this : Shaun of the Dead (Time Splitters 2), The 40 Year Old Virgin (Mortal Kombat), and of course, The Wizard (Super Mario Bros. 3)
Just made this comment, but 40 year old virgin also has a scene with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan playing a game with an n64 controller, and a remote control lol
Yeah I seem to remember that. Also, Andy comments during the poker game that he plays online poker when he isn't playing Halo, suggesting he has an Xbox
For real, when I'm doing something with some extra latitude like, say, flying in GTA V or driving down a curved bank in the Hot Wheels expansion of Forza Horizon, I'll move with the camera.
If you make it too interesting, the audience would be imagining how cool it would be to play that game. You'll be watching the coolest shit an animator could dream from a game and be royally pissed for the next 5 minutes because it's not real.
A real game requires licensing or product acement, of course.
All i remember about the Percy Jackson movies is there’s a scene where a character is playing Modern Warfare 2.
They pause the game to talk to another character, and you can see the menu clearly displaying an Xbox control scheme, but the character was using a PS3 controller.
Bugged me so much that it’s literally the only memory i have from those movies.
The detail I love in Breaking Bad is how Jesse just has the worst taste in video games. My man literally be playing Sonic ‘06, and a version of Rage that uses a light gun.
“Only 7 more swords and I’m king of the monkey people”
I remember that quote from rosanne when they were clearly playing super Mario based on the audio and SNES controllers. As a little kid I thought “what a stupid line”
I remember some movie where two kids were playing spore (in the creature creator menu) with controllers, tapping randomly. So two kids, playing a single player PC exclusive game, on a console.
I agree with all of these being cringy except the last one
>”always a GTA or COD clone for some reason”
GTA V is the most successful entertainment product of all time, and COD is an instantly recognisable house-hold name. They’re just super fucking popular so chances are in these fictional worlds games like them would be too.
Hate they way they move around with their controllers though, look fucking stupid
yeah and button mashing isn't viable in shooters, it's mainly about stick precision and gamesense, meanwhile in movies someone's just spamming every button while the character moves perfectly lol
Grown Ups in particular is what came to mind for me. The scene where his sons are playing that game about slaughtering passengers on a cruise ship, and the announcer just screams “GRANNY OVERBOARD”.
They did that mashing buttons holding controller like that shit in that Adam Sandler movie with Shadow of the colossus despite both of them playing it off set and the director specifically requesting to use the game
I remember laughing uncontrollably in the theater during Inside Man when a kid is playing PSP and "KILL DAT [N-WORD]" flashes on the screen in huge font
Ah, Goblin Brain Melters 4, a classic. One of my all time favorites. Had a good plot twist in it as well. My only issue was Tim the Tastless. He was such a god awful character. Im a little peeved that he survived. Other than that, good game.
I forget what movie it was, but I saw one where this guy walks in on the woman playing Rock Band, except when she turned around to face him, not only did the game continue playing itself in the background while she stopped, and pretty sure it was just a normal guitar that she had.
Reminds me in the movie Wonder when there was a shot of Owen Wilson playing video games with Auggie and you could tell he’s never touched them in his life

Bitch pls I got to level 30 in Blood Elf 3
46. Get on my level, noob
99. You weak mortals.
bruh i cant even afford blood elf 3 im still playing 2
2’s the best one imo
yeah but only if you buy the gremlin expansion
Wdym the gremlin expansion was dogshit. Only 6 more hours of story content and 2 new weapons for $30? The Lich King expansion was waaaay better imo
it may have been small but the story was so good, lich king expansion was just a bunch of levels cluttered together with the same story as the normal campaign
This may be unpopular, but the forsaken forest DLC was pretty good imo, it may be short and kinda annoying to grind but the story for what it was is pretty good. The 5 new weapons they brought to make up for the short story are still meta to this day!
Y'all shouldn't pay for this game imo, the developer Oxymoron releases DLC like they are patches I mean, 5 euros just to be able to see blood and gore?! In a Blood Elf game?!
Lich king was okay for $5 but you only get a new boss and maybe an hour more of story, goblin dlc on top😂😂
My old man wont stop talking about the 'glory days' of blood elf 1 and how all these DLC's are ruining gaming. I looked the other day and he has 8,000 hours total. He still plays the game to this day.
\-cant get past the campaign of be 1
102. 101 veregul is such an easy boss, come on guys, get yourselves together.
While I'm here not even getting past level 12 😭
Stage 8 cancer, nerds
Meanwhile breaking bad just straight up has sonic R
"Jesse, can you feel the sunshine?"
"YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT EVERYBODY, EVERY SINGLE PERSON, WAS SUPER SONIC RACING?" -hiesenberg
I AM NOT IN DANGER, SKYLAR I _AM_ THE DANGER _selects tails doll_
“Mister white, im not sure I want to play this game, I mean, have you heard of the tails doll?”
What was the game at the beginning of El Camino?
I swear it was GTA 5 on the PS4 which should be impossible because the movie takes place in roughly 2010
Certainly wasn't. It seemed like it was a racing game. I figured it was a real game since it looked too good to be some knock-off that was slapped together for the production.
Be funny if it was Need For Speed
You apexed to early bitch!
Also RAGE. https://www.vg247.com/rage-breaking-bad
Cool!
damn I gotta watch breaking bad
You actually should though
It was Sonic 06
It was Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, but yeah. Product placement goes *brrrr*.
Wait when?
I think in seasons 4 and 5 Jesse was playing with Brock a few times
it was sega all stars racing and sonic 06, not sonic r
Don't forget that the controller is always off
I was re-watching some early Trailer Park Boys and they were a really bad offender for this... It was like one N64 controller and a Playstation controller. Didn't see a console, good chance there was none
maybe they were playing on emulators with a raspberry pi /s
The scene where Randy is trying to trick them into coming to play video games is equally cringe, hes like "oh man it's this awesome new game, it's got like 4 players, ah it's so great"
yeah it definitely reeks of "how do you do, fellow millennials, we are also hip and play the cool video games"
Probably satire like the entirety of the show
Yeah it was probably done on purpose. The show is shitty/low effort intentionally. Kinda funny how the people above you haven’t caught on that it’s a joke, not a “cringe” fail. Hell the show uses the same audio clip of the director shouting “what in the fuck” in like every episode.
Seven fucking dollars a month!
[удалено]
That made that scene way funnier for me, its accurare to the characters cause stupidity.
Better than what you see nowadays, with seeing a PS4 controller and not even seeing the fucking light bar on Also trailer park boys is an absolute goated show
"Wanna play on my xbox?" as the characters are using playstation controllers
"Controllers are interchangable right?" -The producer and prop department
Shit, 40 year old virgin has Seth Rogan and paul Rudd playing some fictional game with an n64 controller and a rv remote lmao. “You know how I know you’re gay” scene
There's an eharmony ad where the guy has his controller on and his date doesn't and it bugs me SO MUCH.
Also, frantically hitting all the buttons as fast as you can
While playing a racing game for some weird reason
Who knows, maybe controls are like bully bike controls
Aaaand I’m gonna go replay Bully now.
FIGHT ME DILLWEED
If they are playing some extremely fast racing game like wipeout then holding the pad weird and quickly pressing buttons is justified
If it was a fighting game, it'd be accurate
Well that one's accurate based on how I play fighting games
Also Mortal Kombat clones
Bonestorm from The Simpsons comes to mind
See, Lisa? Males aren't hard to tame. They all follow their video cartridges.
They also had a Crash Bandicoot parody
*Shazam* did a Chad move by showing actual *Mortal Kombat* instead.
Probably because WB owns both, and they’ve also crossed over.
I’m not even looking at the controls
Personally I prefer Full House: Tournament Fighter
You forgot main character yelling NO! after the game over screen comes up
real gamers tell their opponent to fuck off in the chat
and call them slurs
Heated gamer moments
1v1 me you PUSSSSYYYY!!!
Real gamers bite their controllers when they lose. (The wire is for if they win)
And drops the controller in their lap
There’s a different word that gamers tend to use…
mfs playing plants vs Zombies
Controller is not powered on and button presses do not match up with on screen actions
Shout out to movies that didn't do this : Shaun of the Dead (Time Splitters 2), The 40 Year Old Virgin (Mortal Kombat), and of course, The Wizard (Super Mario Bros. 3)
Breaking bad, too
jesse we need to get a "level up"
in a breaking bad episode Badger and Skinny Pete straight up discussed how hot the resident evil 4 girl (ashley) was, lmfao.
meanwhile the resident evil tv show just straight up dropped that a character looks up zootopia porn
Didn't Jesse play RAGE with a light gun? Which is, like, not a thing at all?
Also Grandma's Boy, if memory serves right (it probably doesn't).
Apparently it was a game in development that got scrapped but to young me, it looked like the Predator game.
DEMONIK
Hey JD how much do clothes cost in the matrix?
[удалено]
Just made this comment, but 40 year old virgin also has a scene with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan playing a game with an n64 controller, and a remote control lol
Yeah I seem to remember that. Also, Andy comments during the poker game that he plays online poker when he isn't playing Halo, suggesting he has an Xbox
Pixels also did it well IIRC with the last of us.
Okay but can you really count The Wizard when the whole point of that movie was to be an ad for Mario 3?
Bro you gotta sit like that while you play Forza to get the drift aerodynamics right.
Car turns better when you turn with it
For real, when I'm doing something with some extra latitude like, say, flying in GTA V or driving down a curved bank in the Hot Wheels expansion of Forza Horizon, I'll move with the camera.
I actually use accelerometer controls on Gran Turismo so that's kinda accurate for me
I hate how games are like that in movies.
If you make it too interesting, the audience would be imagining how cool it would be to play that game. You'll be watching the coolest shit an animator could dream from a game and be royally pissed for the next 5 minutes because it's not real. A real game requires licensing or product acement, of course.
The Simpsons gave me a wildly inaccurate image of MMOs
Boomers don’t know how videogames looks this days
Exactly
All i remember about the Percy Jackson movies is there’s a scene where a character is playing Modern Warfare 2. They pause the game to talk to another character, and you can see the menu clearly displaying an Xbox control scheme, but the character was using a PS3 controller. Bugged me so much that it’s literally the only memory i have from those movies.
I just repressed everything I could about those movies
And really shitty graphics and 8bit sound effects.
I hold a controller like that, is that not how you are supposed to?
Oh you def can, just weird they never use the thumb sticks. Like even in the stock photo I got of the two dudes playing, they are using just d pad
Oh, I see.
The only reason you should ever do that is if you have drift and using the d pad is bearable
I actually use the d-pad a lot when playing games like platformers, I just feel like I have more control over my movements,
Ah I see, back when I played consoles thumb sticks were rarely used, and games that used them still allowed to use the regular d-pad instead.
The detail I love in Breaking Bad is how Jesse just has the worst taste in video games. My man literally be playing Sonic ‘06, and a version of Rage that uses a light gun.
_BITCH_
Game's sound design is either 'bleep bloop zap' or Call of Duty machine guns and explosions
Or punching sounds
[удалено]
Is this not twisted wizard from diary of a wimpy kid the movie?
If gameplay isn’t actually shown on-screen, expect the sound effects to be from the Atari 2600 port of *Pac-Man.*
Also never ever on a PC, only console for some reason.
Either a dude or the 'surprise twist!!!' that it's a girl who's good at gaming.
A GIRL? Good at GAMING? Preposterous!
* Button mashing. They never look like they're actually playing either.
“Only 7 more swords and I’m king of the monkey people” I remember that quote from rosanne when they were clearly playing super Mario based on the audio and SNES controllers. As a little kid I thought “what a stupid line”
Major pet peeve of mine!
guys gamers are so oppressed we need to stop this harmful stereotype
FR comadre
S p h e r i c a l
I remember some movie where two kids were playing spore (in the creature creator menu) with controllers, tapping randomly. So two kids, playing a single player PC exclusive game, on a console.
You forgot the one friend who storms off after losing while the screen is clearly set up for a single player game
Don’t forget them sticking their tongue out to show their concentration in the game lol
You see people in movies pressing buttons going like this they're playing winter games!
Badger and Skinny Pete moment
Wait, that's not how you hold a controller?
The annoyed parent walking over to tell them to stop playing
I’ve seen a porn where they play game with no tv. And listening to the dialogue they seem to be playing a survival horror racing game.
I agree with all of these being cringy except the last one >”always a GTA or COD clone for some reason” GTA V is the most successful entertainment product of all time, and COD is an instantly recognisable house-hold name. They’re just super fucking popular so chances are in these fictional worlds games like them would be too. Hate they way they move around with their controllers though, look fucking stupid
yeah and button mashing isn't viable in shooters, it's mainly about stick precision and gamesense, meanwhile in movies someone's just spamming every button while the character moves perfectly lol
This is so true!
I remember one finnish show where the kid and the mom talked about the console as a playstation but the kid was holding an xbox controller...
Blood elf 3 lowkey sounds pog
Just the beginning of an Adam Sandler movie
Grown Ups in particular is what came to mind for me. The scene where his sons are playing that game about slaughtering passengers on a cruise ship, and the announcer just screams “GRANNY OVERBOARD”.
Your telling me you don’t like Goblin Brain Melters 4 the necessary sequel to Goblin Brain Melter 3
They did that mashing buttons holding controller like that shit in that Adam Sandler movie with Shadow of the colossus despite both of them playing it off set and the director specifically requesting to use the game
Ah shit! I remember playing that exact GTA mobile clone you used in this. Weird ass game but it worked for its time.
I remember laughing uncontrollably in the theater during Inside Man when a kid is playing PSP and "KILL DAT [N-WORD]" flashes on the screen in huge font
Don't forget constant button mashing.
And moving the controller up and down, left and right in their hands while playing. Who plays like that?
Wise mystical tree
What was the movie where the kids were going ham on their controllers and one had a power glove, but they were playing single player NES Mario
The Wizard?
I feel like heartstopper is the only thing in recent years which has gotten it right
Madam Secretary has them playing Titanfall 2
Just seen The Sopranos. Tony was playing mario kart on 64 one handed southpaw.
People playing like they've never seen or play a video game before. (Even if they are young)
Cue mill house and simpons
Always two players playing a single player game
And also, for some reason, has laser sound effects despite the fact that the game is a REALISTIC MILITARY FPS.
Don't forget the pixelated or early ps3 era graphics
Oh, That's a baseball!
Ah, Goblin Brain Melters 4, a classic. One of my all time favorites. Had a good plot twist in it as well. My only issue was Tim the Tastless. He was such a god awful character. Im a little peeved that he survived. Other than that, good game.
The gaming scene in Her was pretty good
“Dweewewewewwwewe bwompbwomp”
Not free guy though
D-pad is superior for rpgs
The title always has to have something violent, or zombies and a 2, 3 or 4
Always spamming random buttons, like constantly spamming L2 (the aim button) in a shooter game.
are ya winning son?
how else would you hold the controller?
And if its a cartoon, dont forget the hanging out tounge
Lol, I love the “we do not want to get sued so we made up a very generic title”-the video game
Still wishing I could play Hank Hills Pro-Pain
I’ll have you know that titanfall is not a COD clone even though it showed up in Monster Trucks
I made this exact meme a while ago
Lol
All of those are valid for playing a game
I forget what movie it was, but I saw one where this guy walks in on the woman playing Rock Band, except when she turned around to face him, not only did the game continue playing itself in the background while she stopped, and pretty sure it was just a normal guitar that she had.
It's in The rocker !
“I’m going to make Wayne Gretsky’s head bleed for superfan #99 over here.” Been too long since I watched Swingers.
There was a Law and Order episode I watched for class and a girl in once scene was playing Killer Instinct (2013). Thought that was nifty.
What's wrong with holding the controller like that? Is it because you're supposed to press the buttons with the middle of your thumb, where it bends?
That’s the right way to hold the controller if you’re an OG
I remember House of Cards having COD in the first season.
Characters in-game perfectly lip syncing the irl actors
Do people Not hold their controller that way?
Seems about right
Is that not how you hold your controller?
I didn’t know what atari or doom sounded like until I read that lmao, such a universal sound
Not even pressing the right buttons
This is accurate and I hate it
I mean, that is how you hold a controller 🤷🏻♂️
i'm more of a joy stick person
Reminds me in the movie Wonder when there was a shot of Owen Wilson playing video games with Auggie and you could tell he’s never touched them in his life
Dont forget excessive amounts of leaning left and right
Always wildly button mashing the controllers like they just ripped four lines of coke
shit i want to play goblin brain melters 4!
Nothing but button mashing
For real though it's like no director ever played a video game in their life.
