You would be surprised how many people think a chocobo is some kind of sexual act.

Wow... Just wow...

That was pretty funny. I guess not that many people actually play final fantasy.

I'd mount that.



On another note, a couple of people seemed rather hungry for some Choco Bueno.

Feba sits down on a couch.

Feba: Final Fantasy 13?
Dumbass: Yeah
*Dumbass proceeds to fight some warmech miniboss thingy three or four times, always watching the full cutscene, but skipping the Paradigm Shift tutorial*
Dumbass: Man, I keep dying as soon as I start, and then I have to watch the whole scene over again!
Feba: You can skip it
Dumbass: It wouldn't let me
*Feba grabs controller, presses start and then select*
Feba: There you go
Dumbass: Oh
*Dies again*
Feba: Let me try
*Feba grabs controller, skips cutscene, flips through Paradigm Shift tutorial.*
Feba: Hm, ok, let's see.
*Dies, but lasts longer than any of dumbass' attempts*
Feba: Oh, I think I get it.
*Skips back to fight, wins*

Keep in mind, this is the first time I've even seen FF13 gameplay. I proceeded to flip through the menus and explain things without the benefit of tutorial screens he probably skipped at one point. In under three minutes, I understood this game better than he had in three hours of gameplay. And this happened in my own fucking living room. This is a guy who easily has 30+ games on PS3, despite not actually playing many of them (as far as I can tell, he has never played MGS4; not that he'd have a clue what the fuck was going on if he did. He's just now starting FF13 he bought at release. And these are not exceptions.). The only thing that redeems this act of mind numbing stupidity in any way to me is that getting 30+ titles for a system with no games is a pretty impressive feat.

Most people don't give a shit about video games. Most people that play video games don't give a shit. We are a very, very small group; like the kind of people that read books for literary value instead of just entertainment; or a film buff; or a music fanatic; or a PC nerd; or a gear head. Sure, video games are very common now. Knowledge of video games, however, is just as rare as it always has been.
