On that note, has anyone else ever noticed that whenever someone plays video games in a movie or on a TV show, they just clusterfuck all of the buttons in such a way that there is no fucking way in hell they could be perceivably be playing any game ever made? I mean, name one game that has you just destroying both analog sticks, all 4 shoulder buttons, and then wrecking all 4 face buttons in a span of about 5 seconds. It's like they're playing Track N Field for NES with a controller.

Are you kidding me? My 4 year old plays that way with EVERY GAME! Sound effects included! I tell him he doesn't need to make the sounds effects, the game does that for you!

Back on topic.... Drew Carey Show eventually traded that Saturn for a Dreamcast.... Still cool it was pro-Sega!

Drew Carey mentioned the Genesis at least twice in his book. It was a pretty good read. I think Drew Carey gets a bad rap, but I always loved that show. Though I must say the last season or two did kinda get crazy.

I always though the Drew carry show was great.

What kind of bad rap does he get? He had 2 shows on ABC for 7 years! Sounds successful to me... The last season of Whose Line and Drew Carey Shot got strange cause they knew it was the last season. Go out with a bang! Whose line last season had a guest star every show!

What did he say about the Genesis?

The worst offender to me, is every videogame scene having the sound of Atari Pac-man playing in the background.


Wayne's World had Sonic the Hedgehog as an arcade game. Youtube doesn't have a direct clip of that commercial (copyright violation), but you can see a quick glimpse of it (television behind the camera dude) at the end of this scene.

I thought that one was Chan's first movie shot and produced in the US? :confused:

Anyways, found picture proof: "Space Channel 5" in "Josie and the Pussycats":

Nobody frequents UKR here it seems.

That reminds me. There is a Dreamcast on top of a TV in Punch Drunk Love.

Is that supposed to be a Saturn gamepad in NGE? Sega did produce its action figures but the letters don't spell SEGA.

The chick Jet Li locks up in his apartment in Black Mask is playing Virtua Fighter and X-Men:COTA on a Saturn

Oh you. That's just one of the swirls on that weird dolls face, Sega didn't copyright the red spiral. Unless the Saw series has just been one big Dreamcast commercial. One big bloody dreamcast commercial.

If only. It might be remotely worth watching if it was.
