Yeah...

Yeah, that's pretty much how it would look.

They should do a multiplayer version of it since that seems just to relate to singleplayer.

 

[vincentisgreat]

Yeah, I very rarely brag about spending entirely too much time playing video games..

It's so depressing yet true. *sigh* I miss the PS2 era

 

[Marter]

Wow, that was actually pretty funny.

I don't think it would be quite to that extent, but it would be close.

 

[Robby Foxfur]

haha nice, but you forgot the twitter link, and the random billboards in game for product placement.

Nintendo's still working on the DLC for Worlds 5-8. Of course, with the DRM, it's a crapshoot whether you'll even be able to play the game without a crack.

I still dont see why people find it necessary to tell random strangers and/or voyeurs what they are doing every second of the day.

Huh?

Its because some times it fun, I think.

Clearly you don't hate everyone enough!

Thanks for the link, it game me a good laugh.
Sometimes, though, decent intro/tutorial was needed. I picked up the Lego Batman on the DS for my little sisters birthday, and there was really no indication of what you were to do. I played some of the series on another console and it wasn't as ambiguous. I do think the facebook posting of achievement is a bit annoying. I like steam, where it is shared with a community that you know is interested in games.

If I was just slightly more annoyed I'd actually expend the effort required to ignore facebook updates from the various games that give me regular updates. Greater than 95% of all my updates are of the form [user name] has just completed [task/achievement/feat] in [game i've never heard of] and they [wanted you to know/wanted to share loot/hate you].

Why DO we need tutorials for every little freakin' thing? I mean, when it's a shooter game, how the Hell is it different from the other 60 shooters that we've already played? I remember back in the good old days when tutorials were optional and separate on the main menu(Myth 2).
