video games in tv/movies.
 

You ever wonder your watching tv and you notice someone is playing a video game like a ds or a psp and u wonder there something fishy the game isn't what it is.. u know what I mean.. Error..

For example.. in rumble in the bronx, when Jackie gave Keaung the game gear, there was no game in it and Keaung was playing it and I laughed because there was no game in there.

Same with the wizard, the 3 kids who were playing mario 3 at the end of the movie, they weren't even playing because after the game was over the game was still running and how in the world did the kid knows wehre the warp whistle was? Lol.

It always bugs me when they're playing with a controller that doesn't belong to that console (Ex. An XBox with an N64 controller). Also, you never hear the actual sounds, just bleeps and bloops...Though now that I think about it, that one might have something to do with copyright issues.

ya exactly.. but still it's annoying how video game fans like us laugh at things like that..

wasn't the DS in alex rider : stormbreaker? i dunno, i never seen it, but it says so in the UK's offical nintendo magazine....

Yeah, they almost always use those old Atari 2600 Pa-man sounds, ALTHOUGH, the old Disney cartoon "The Weekenders" almost always used NES Super Mario Brothers sounds while they were at the arcade. That's the only case I remember, though I admittedly don't watch much TV.

I also think there was an episode of Murphy Brown in 1992 I remember had the "athletic" music from Super Mario World play at some point.

My problem is always the unrealistic way they push the buttons. They just slam on them like some kind of Ritalin-less 5 year old.

They actually had an Xbox controller playing an Xbox game in Grandma's Boy. Great movie.

I saw the beginning of Shaun of the Dead a while ago on Comedy Central, and notcued that the other dude was playing Timesplitters 2 on PS2. I recognied it from the music at first.

Or flail their arms around like there is some bloody tilt sensor in the dual-shock....

Oh snap.

...from "the 40-year-old virgin"? I remember they were playing MK for one of the new consoles and they were using the N64 controllers... :dead:

Demonik a game that was actually going to be released on 360 but it got canned. Poor Clive Barker. Game looked kinda cool to.

Didn't one person have an X-Box controller and the other an N64 controller?

That movie was endorsed by microsoft though. Hell a real game that was ment to come out was featured in it.

Fast and the Furious, hes using a PS2 to play Need for speed, thats the only instance i know of.
