I remember long ago, going to the carp/collectible shop, putting my quarter in line to play new SUPER Street Fighter II. I always lost, but it was the feeling of being part of something. And when they got the new Mortal Kombat, watching the fatalities with everyone, amazed at the REALISM.

i really wanted crash bandicoot as a kid, so i would always beg my mom to get it whenever she went to the store. she came back from costco one time and i asked if she got it, she said yea, here it is and put a container of goldbond foot powder on a table near the front door. my excitement rendered me retarded and i spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out how this was a video game, slowly going through the stages of grief before realizing it wasn't a game and running to my room to have a tantrum for the rest of the day

Lmfao again.

i used to like to draw my dragon quest characters as i bought them stuff, copying off the big foldout that came with the games that had pictures of all the weapons and armor. but because "clothes" were one of the armors, i figured whatever the armor was would be all they were wearing. so for dq4, when the women would wear stuff like the Fur Coat i would be like :confused: and just draw an extremely terrible nude (i was not good at drawing), then get immediately embarrassed, crumple it up, and throw it in the trash. the iron apron had a big open back, so when i drew talloon in it, i gave him a big fat rear end hanging out the back, and then drew in some fart lines for good measure, and that one i kept and showed to my brothers so that we could all laugh at it (we all hated talloon for some reason).

I CANT RESIST SHITTING UP THE BIG BOOBS THREAD WITH MY RANDOM FUCKING MONKEY CHEESE BULLSHIT! IF YOU SEE ME, FUCK ME UP.
Back in 2006 on June 6 there was an unexpected bug in an MMO I was playing where a player was able to kill others outside of pvp settings, which resulted in a mass murdering of players and caused the loss of hundreds of millions in ingame currency. At the time I was much younger and my brain was more fertile, better able to compose sentences and I tried writing some thematic poem about 06/06/06 that hinted at satanic themes. I grew bored and crumpled up the sheet because it just wasn't coming together and I had bigger fish to fry.

Two years later and my mon pulled me aside to tell me she found some dark poetry I was writing and asked if I was ok, and told me she didn't tell my father (whom is very devout and catholic) but to be careful with what I write. It was at that moment I wished I could have been shot into a black hole's event horizon so I could be crushed out of existence after realising what she was talking about

I decided to look this up and the game in question was Runescape, and it's called the 666 incident or the "Falador Massacre". Can't find much info beyond the name, though.

a guy got lucky through a random player own house bug and had a 1 sided pvp kill fest in a non pvp area for a few hours. Someone found him years later and he was like 14 at the time and when it ended the devs teleported him to a special area to ask how he did it and banned him. The npcs in the town have a dialogue Easter egg about it now lol. MMOs were way cooler back then

At a sleepover my friend and I were playing an old wwe game and we decided to make each other. When I made my friend I made him a cool biker with Vegeta hair and the Undertaker’s motorcycle entrance. When he made me he made a balding sumo guy with a big brown poo poo stain on his diaper.

can't remember the wrestling game but have fond memories of my friend making an invisible character, saying he would easily beat me because I couldn't see him. I beat him because it auto-focused on the opponent like every 3D fighting/wrestling game so I could just focus on throwing out moves whereas he had no idea what his character was doing at any given point

When I was around 6 years old, I very briefly believed that all enemies in video games were remotely controlled by people who worked for the developer and thought about how much it must suck to be the guy who controls the first goomba in Mario because it always gets killed super fast so he must have hated his job

the first goomba might have a weak kdr ratio, but i bet his kill count is in the top 15

I remember my first handheld game was one of those LCD games where all the “animations” are pre-fixed forms that are simply turned on or off. When I got my hands on a gameboy with Super Mario Land the first time, I thought that the people making these games had to draw every single possible position and animation, basically every permutation of what could happen on screen, by hand and that that must have been quite a lot of work.
