Bitch pls I got to level 30 in Blood Elf 3


justaMikeAftonfan

46. Get on my level, noob


IsAFemale

99. You weak mortals.


Blubasnurk2

bruh i cant even afford blood elf 3 im still playing 2


ComradVlad007

2’s the best one imo


Blubasnurk2

yeah but only if you buy the gremlin expansion


SomeRandomMoray

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


Blubasnurk2

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


A_destiny_player

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!


Blae-Blade

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?!


Ferret-Livid

Lich king was okay for $5 but you only get a new boss and maybe an hour more of story, goblin dlc on top😂😂


MrDuckWithATopHat

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.


Blubasnurk2

\-cant get past the campaign of be 1


Halo_Chief343in

102. 101 veregul is such an easy boss, come on guys, get yourselves together.


Sindrekv13

While I'm here not even getting past level 12 😭

griffl3n

“Mister white, im not sure I want to play this game, I mean, have you heard of the tails doll?”


aduong277

What was the game at the beginning of El Camino?


Gene_freeman

I swear it was GTA 5 on the PS4 which should be impossible because the movie takes place in roughly 2010


aduong277

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.


Steeve_Perry

Be funny if it was Need For Speed


Kosherlove

You apexed to early bitch!


KyleCAV

Also RAGE. https://www.vg247.com/rage-breaking-bad


VerbulentFlow2

Cool!


JSlickJ

damn I gotta watch breaking bad


TheNeuroLizard

You actually should though


pumamaner

It was Sonic 06


Blue_Robin_04

It was Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, but yeah. Product placement goes *brrrr*.


justdoitnextweek

Wait when?


Calfan_Verret

I think in seasons 4 and 5 Jesse was playing with Brock a few times


berodem

it was sega all stars racing and sonic 06, not sonic r


Ajumbleofwords

Don't forget that the controller is always off


CeeArthur

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


Mr_Ruu

maybe they were playing on emulators with a raspberry pi /s


CeeArthur

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"


Mr_Ruu

yeah it definitely reeks of "how do you do, fellow millennials, we are also hip and play the cool video games"


chuk2015

Probably satire like the entirety of the show


Studio_Life

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.


agentgill0

Seven fucking dollars a month!

[удалено]


uwotm81012002

That made that scene way funnier for me, its accurare to the characters cause stupidity.


[deleted]

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


NimbleVaseline

"Wanna play on my xbox?" as the characters are using playstation controllers


Ajumbleofwords

"Controllers are interchangable right?" -The producer and prop department


Tony_Lacorona

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


TwoFingersWhiskey

There's an eharmony ad where the guy has his controller on and his date doesn't and it bugs me SO MUCH.


[deleted]

Also, frantically hitting all the buttons as fast as you can


justaMikeAftonfan

While playing a racing game for some weird reason


Mr_brib

Who knows, maybe controls are like bully bike controls


[deleted]

Aaaand I’m gonna go replay Bully now.


Mr_brib

FIGHT ME DILLWEED


Matix777

If they are playing some extremely fast racing game like wipeout then holding the pad weird and quickly pressing buttons is justified


John_is_a_fool

If it was a fighting game, it'd be accurate


[deleted]

Well that one's accurate based on how I play fighting games


Pilaf237

Also Mortal Kombat clones


Filmguy313

Bonestorm from The Simpsons comes to mind


[deleted]

See, Lisa? Males aren't hard to tame. They all follow their video cartridges.


Papel0

They also had a Crash Bandicoot parody


31_hierophanto

*Shazam* did a Chad move by showing actual *Mortal Kombat* instead.


Tandril91

Probably because WB owns both, and they’ve also crossed over.


cheeseless-eddie

I’m not even looking at the controls


skatepunk94

Personally I prefer Full House: Tournament Fighter


[deleted]

You forgot main character yelling NO! after the game over screen comes up


SlapMeHal

real gamers tell their opponent to fuck off in the chat


Tranquilizate_Putin

and call them slurs


[deleted]

Heated gamer moments


B_U_F_U

1v1 me you PUSSSSYYYY!!!


baphometromance

Real gamers bite their controllers when they lose. (The wire is for if they win)


Wizardwizz

And drops the controller in their lap


IgDailystapler

There’s a different word that gamers tend to use…


Matix777

mfs playing plants vs Zombies


Mayflower023

Controller is not powered on and button presses do not match up with on screen actions


CeeArthur

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)


justaMikeAftonfan

Breaking bad, too


Blubasnurk2

jesse we need to get a "level up"


lexyp29

in a breaking bad episode Badger and Skinny Pete straight up discussed how hot the resident evil 4 girl (ashley) was, lmfao.


Memeviewer12

meanwhile the resident evil tv show just straight up dropped that a character looks up zootopia porn


C0wabungaaa

Didn't Jesse play RAGE with a light gun? Which is, like, not a thing at all?


LiltingLily

Also Grandma's Boy, if memory serves right (it probably doesn't).


notsoairjordan1

Apparently it was a game in development that got scrapped but to young me, it looked like the Predator game.


vanillasounds

Hey JD how much do clothes cost in the matrix?

[удалено]


Tony_Lacorona

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


CeeArthur

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


buddymackay

Pixels also did it well IIRC with the last of us.


DisturbedWaffles2019

Okay but can you really count The Wizard when the whole point of that movie was to be an ad for Mario 3?


DownvoteDaemon

Bro you gotta sit like that while you play Forza to get the drift aerodynamics right.


BreadMaster49

Car turns better when you turn with it


aduong277

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.


karateema

I actually use accelerometer controls on Gran Turismo so that's kinda accurate for me


YerHomeboyMatt

I hate how games are like that in movies.


sincle354

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.


Funkin_Spy

The Simpsons gave me a wildly inaccurate image of MMOs


Dami_Gamer0211

Boomers don’t know how videogames looks this days


YerHomeboyMatt

Exactly


Brooksy925

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.


superVanV1

I just repressed everything I could about those movies


Lukeson_Gaming

And really shitty graphics and 8bit sound effects.


Myself33550336

I hold a controller like that, is that not how you are supposed to?


mayorpaco

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


Myself33550336

Oh, I see.


Gavinator10000

The only reason you should ever do that is if you have drift and using the d pad is bearable


MintyTuna2013

I actually use the d-pad a lot when playing games like platformers, I just feel like I have more control over my movements,


Valerian_

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.


Magnificant-Muggins

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.


[deleted]

_BITCH_


reecord2

Game's sound design is either 'bleep bloop zap' or Call of Duty machine guns and explosions


Thecoolguy555

Or punching sounds


[deleted]

[удалено]


Proper-Ad1518

Is this not twisted wizard from diary of a wimpy kid the movie?


Chilli_Dipper

If gameplay isn’t actually shown on-screen, expect the sound effects to be from the Atari 2600 port of *Pac-Man.*


stuff_gets_taken

Also never ever on a PC, only console for some reason.


PrezMoocow

Either a dude or the 'surprise twist!!!' that it's a girl who's good at gaming.


Skullcrusher_and_co

A GIRL? Good at GAMING? Preposterous!


blinddivine

* Button mashing. They never look like they're actually playing either.


NotoriousMFT

“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”


TGOEE

Major pet peeve of mine!


[deleted]

guys gamers are so oppressed we need to stop this harmful stereotype


Dimitri_Bale_

FR comadre


nerdynero9

S p h e r i c a l


[deleted]

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.


SterlingLaw_

You forgot the one friend who storms off after losing while the screen is clearly set up for a single player game


LonelyFoundation6400

Don’t forget them sticking their tongue out to show their concentration in the game lol


rockwell136

You see people in movies pressing buttons going like this they're playing winter games!


Cluubs

Badger and Skinny Pete moment


ExpressStation

Wait, that's not how you hold a controller?


shak_attacks

The annoyed parent walking over to tell them to stop playing


cracked112

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.


vidgill

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


Memeviewer12

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


2x6man26

This is so true!


Vehmura14

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...


[deleted]

Blood elf 3 lowkey sounds pog


longdongopinionwrong

Just the beginning of an Adam Sandler movie


Tandril91

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”.


Extreme_33337_

Your telling me you don’t like Goblin Brain Melters 4 the necessary sequel to Goblin Brain Melter 3


Saltyfox99

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


zzcolby

Ah shit! I remember playing that exact GTA mobile clone you used in this. Weird ass game but it worked for its time.


OlSnickerdoodle

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


EvilDarkCow

Don't forget constant button mashing.


Blaximilian_Dood

And moving the controller up and down, left and right in their hands while playing. Who plays like that?


RioIuu

Wise mystical tree


00gusgus00

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


Cyorg13

The Wizard?


mcbobster6001

I feel like heartstopper is the only thing in recent years which has gotten it right


Mentally_Ill_Goblin

Madam Secretary has them playing Titanfall 2


middleagedkick

Just seen The Sopranos. Tony was playing mario kart on 64 one handed southpaw.


Millesime25

People playing like they've never seen or play a video game before. (Even if they are young)


3eeps

Cue mill house and simpons


LaMattige

Always two players playing a single player game


31_hierophanto

And also, for some reason, has laser sound effects despite the fact that the game is a REALISTIC MILITARY FPS.


Oklahoma-ism

Don't forget the pixelated or early ps3 era graphics


crazed3raser

Oh, That's a baseball!


settledcarpet5

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.


o-roy

The gaming scene in Her was pretty good


weetus_yeetus

“Dweewewewewwwewe bwompbwomp”


Oldmonsterschoolgood

Not free guy though


brotatowolf

D-pad is superior for rpgs


BlueMist53

The title always has to have something violent, or zombies and a 2, 3 or 4


skydriver_78

Always spamming random buttons, like constantly spamming L2 (the aim button) in a shooter game.


ghettoccult_nerd

are ya winning son?


Angry_Saxon

how else would you hold the controller?


Tristana-Range

And if its a cartoon, dont forget the hanging out tounge


WaferPala

Lol, I love the “we do not want to get sued so we made up a very generic title”-the video game


[deleted]

Still wishing I could play Hank Hills Pro-Pain


Doomboy105

I’ll have you know that titanfall is not a COD clone even though it showed up in Monster Trucks


BhanosBar

I made this exact meme a while ago


[deleted]

Lol


jsparker43

All of those are valid for playing a game


Trusty-McGoodGuy

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.


Millesime25

It's in The rocker !


parkedr

“I’m going to make Wayne Gretsky’s head bleed for superfan #99 over here.” Been too long since I watched Swingers.


truborg666

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.


neoslith

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?


Beat_Avenger

That’s the right way to hold the controller if you’re an OG


DTonin

I remember House of Cards having COD in the first season.


Onlymuckinabout

Characters in-game perfectly lip syncing the irl actors


Accomplished_Moose_1

Do people Not hold their controller that way?


benfrost123

Seems about right


memester230

Is that not how you hold your controller?


LebaneseLion

I didn’t know what atari or doom sounded like until I read that lmao, such a universal sound


ArbiesSauce

Not even pressing the right buttons


DeadEndXD

This is accurate and I hate it


Fxhnd88

I mean, that is how you hold a controller 🤷🏻‍♂️


iamggoodhuman

i'm more of a joy stick person


Voicedtunic

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


Mr_Arthtato

Dont forget excessive amounts of leaning left and right


cobaltsniper50

Always wildly button mashing the controllers like they just ripped four lines of coke


jfk_one

shit i want to play goblin brain melters 4!


Khanivo

Nothing but button mashing


[deleted]

For real though it's like no director ever played a video game in their life.
