"Some routines have a natural finale, a punch line. Others just end when the comedian gets exhausted jumping at an imaginary piece of video game scenery."
And besides, it's no more of an odd assumption than saying the Wii is for children. Some games are, sure. Same with other systems. The Wii isn't the best system EVER, but it's the best of the three people talk about now.
@CynicalVision I'm sorry, but I don't see Sony and Microsoft making games like Skyward Sword. Never happened, never will happen. Nobody does it like Nintendo. You're just one of the FPS fanboys who can't stand games where originality is involved. And you can't use the "pony-petting" as a counter example. PS3 and XBOX have shit games on 'em too, all systems do.
Oh wow, I don't know where to begin with your comment but here goes;
i) You're acting like Skyward Sword is some kind of game created by the gods. It's a great game, sure but there are plenty of other games that have scored higher for the different systems.
ii) When did I ever give you the impression I even like FPS games? For some strange reason you just assume I do and how I'm also a fanboy.
iii) Originality does not equal a great game, sorry to burst your bubble.
@CynicalVision Skyward Sword is the example I chose because it has a compelling story, inuitive controls, and great graphics. Not realistic graphics, but who plays games for realism? And I assumed you are an FPS fanboy because it's not an outrageous assumption to make. Everybody seems to be that, these days.
iiii) Sure all consoles have their share of bad games, however it doesn't change the fact that the Wii is designed as a casual system aimed at children.
I went into the room the my brother plays XBOX in the other day to find a book. On XBOX Live in under five minutes, he had quoted this twice... O'Briain Nerd, or Epic Person?
@equalshade Yeah i haven't, i know cod is shite, its like fighting in a barrel, utter chaos and you respawn on top of your enemies gun barrel. Still - strangely addicted.
This sketch is funny as fuck, you can tell he's an avid gamer as he tells it exactly as it is. Even using the word pwned in another sketch earlier to this one lol.
i really think that if comedians did a bit of research in video games they could come up with a set to do with jokes about video games majority of people would get them
my boyfriend and I went to see this show in Inverness, it seemed no one par us in the main block knew about Metal Gear Solid. We got some funny looks while struggling to breath through our laughing
@gbushimprov Going through doors was such a headache in GTA4. I'd hit the door-frame, make a second attempt, and hit the frame on the other side. I had the same problem in Red Dead Redemption. Characters in Rockstar games handle like a fat man riding a unicycle.
@MrJoshwaarBee because all first person shoot military games are basically the same pieces of generic garbage. you've played one, you've played them all. you joke about one, you joke about them all
@failrailtf2 Dara is quite rubbish at games, there is a video on here called gameswipe (Charlie Brooker show) where Dara says he can't get past the Berserker on Gears of War (about two levels in). He also admits he hasn't made it across to Manhattan in GTA4.
im 18, quite into computer games, when me an two of my friends went to see this in edinburgh, we were in hysterics at this bit: middle aged couple beside us, not a peep, they were just confused. we were imitating this all the way from the playhouse to the trainstation
Yes, I fervently believe I can talk to a recording of a man on the internet who is trying to make a mainstream joke out of something almost no one in the audience fully knows about!
This was shit! You can't jump or wield a crowbar in Metal Gear Solid!
Only joking. Very funny routine. Dara O'Briain is brilliant. Probably one of the only comedians who actually know what they're talking about when it comes to games.
Funny and true. I might have to look into getting the DVD.
