I take it Bungie has a strict drug policy; it'd explain a lot.
-
dugg for orange Fresca and Lik-m-Aid
-
yes - i am the frog... and i love it.
-
I think Baily was my favorite... Good work, Bails. I wonder how you got so in character...
Although Brett's "No, you ARE the frog!" was a close second. And he definitely was rocking that mustache.
Good work everyone. I love you all. -
Simply hysterical. I love the faded film stock look.
-
I shed a tear when he saw the janitor at the end. A tear...of wonder.
-
was that quentin tarantino pitching "pac man"? that guy was great.
-
The sketch turned out fan-f*cking-tastic. And I agree SmooveO, that guys is pure genious!
-
Now I understand why they don't make games like they used to.
-
I don't even play video games and I effing love this sketch. BEAUTIFUL.
-
needs more fruit
-
This was gold. What's great is Nolan Bushnell has admitted that the Atari gang back in the day was a lot of partying and figuring it out as you go along.
-
Dugg cause he said he can Digg it
-
Dugg because he said he can Digg it
-
*Draws QBert*
"What the *****? WHAT THE ***** IS THAT?"
"It's QBert mannnn" -
I wish I could remember a line so I could also get dugg up.
-
"No... You ARE the frog."
"WOAAAAAAAAH"
classic -

-
*Insert digg/dig dug pun here*
-
what's with all the people who just joined digg today with comments like:
"pure gold!" "pure genius!" ect...
buried as spam -
"Tecmo Bowl...I don't know, it just felt right."
Perfect! hahaha -
I'm bringing the orange fresca for group sex.
-
was that samwise gamgee playing the role of the custodian?
-
that the same chick from internet party?
qbert moment is brilliant! -
was that the same chick from Internet Party? nice
Qbert moment was brilliant! -
This depiction is probably accurate. How else would those crazy Japanese guys have come up with their ridiculous ideas? Drugs, man, drugs.
-
Looks like we have a plan. Let's roll wit it.
-
ACID TABS ALL AROUND!
-
Wow. That just wasn't as funny as it could/should have been. Pretty stupid, actually.
-
Dugg for the ending.
-
The coked up mile-a-minute dude stole this one.
Funny funny stuff -
It had it's moments, but the acting and costumes took away from the believability. Comedy has to be believable or else it's just dumb. Unless they're trying to be completely, entirely, unbelievable, which this wasn't. Following along those lines was the fact that they only came up with names of real games not bad concepts that never made it. The "prototype" NES controller? In it's final design 5 years ahead of time? This is all just setting aside the whole Japan / USA thing.
-
that was absolutely hilarious i loved every minute of it, all 4 of them
-
That was pure gold! It was hysterical.
-
Very funny stuff.
I can't help myself, though. Pac Man was originally named Puck Man, but they thought (rightfully so) that we kids would change the name into something else, quite easily. -
Quote of the year:
You guys should invest in some lead underwear, cause soon our asses are gonna be GOLD PLATED!!! -
man the production on this was really good. Hard to find kids that can act nowadays.

It would have been perfect, but look at the beards. they ruined it for me. I'm a beard enthusiast.
