I don't think it's really about swearing, but about the meta aspect of "Die bitch". It's like saying "motherfucker" in an imitation of Samuel L. Jackson's tone, it's just for fun. At worst it's a bit like cursing because it's a forbidden taboo and hence, funny. I wouldn't worry about it.Black Barney wrote: ]How about when Arya realizes she's invincible after getting the star and runs through the koopas saying, "die bitch". That's an amazing moment giving clarity at how different these generations are. I never talked like that back then playign video games. I only started with Call of Duty 4. But here's a super young girl playing a video game dropping swears like crazy. I would have been spanked.
If you liked this video, you might like the video in which they play Punch-Out. Seeing the reactions to a pattern-based games and seeing how a couple of the kids get into it is very fun.Just an awesome nostalgic video. I loved it.

It was pretty funny when the kid read Piston Honda's quote and said, "That's racist."Erik Twice wrote: If you liked this video, you might like the video in which they play Punch-Out.
I seen a lot of comments recently about how terribly difficult Mike Tyson was, but I could reliably beat him when I was a kid. Maybe I just played the game way too much. But to be honest, I'm not sure if I ever made it through the entire game to reach him, instead of using the password. Maybe once? Anyway, I loved that game so much.

I'm really not good at Punch-Out, but as far as I know Tyson is more beatable than it seems simply because he follows a pattern so eventually you'll chain all through his attacks and learn how to tackle what. In a sense, his biggest strenght is that he has a lot of HP, his attacks are very long and sometimes he changes his timing slighty to throw you off. He's still difficult though, not going to lie here, but if you can beat the rest of the game it's not a huge difficulty spike.Disgustipater wrote:

But Punch-Out aside, I think the difficulty of most older games is highly overstated. For example, Contra is often quoted as one of the hardest games ever made but it's probably on the easier side for the era, being much easier than Castlevania or R-Type. I think they are seen as difficult because most players nowadays are used to not losing very much, to progress in a fairly linear fashion investing one hour to see a new hour of the game and most old games aren't like that, Gradius II takes 25 hours to complete not 30 minutes means to name an example.
By the way, have you played the Wii Punch-Out? It's a really good game, I think it makes previous versions practically obsolete.

I have not played the Wii version of Punch Out. I haven't really played any Wii games.

CONTRA was easy as hell. I don't know anyone that says it was tough. Hard games were stuff like IKARI WARRIORS, GUNSMOKE, and goddamned RUSH'N ATTACK. Seriously, fuck that game. I didn't beat CASTLEVANIA until I emulated it and could do slow-mo. Stupid bats.

Mike Tyson's Punch Out was very much the medicine I needed after a bad day of school. I could repeatedly beat the crap out of Glass Joe and the german follow-up guy and feel better about myself and the world.
I'll try to find that video of teens playing it, sounds awesome
edit: found it, watched it, it was awesome. Yeah, the kid calling out the Piston Honda quote as racist was great. I love watching them all get one-punched by Mike Tyson too and the shock on their faces. That one kid that couldn't beat 1-1 is Super Mario lost to Glass Joe I think. He must be the worst video gaming guy of all time. I love him.
these videos are great, they're so funny. I think I'm going to film my girl in 10 years or so playing on her mom's NES. It'll be fun.
