In fact, isn’t Buzzfeed doing the Facebook linking? As opposed to any games I’ve played.

Sad. Sad and true.

::sigh:: I miss the simpler times when you could feel the joy of actually BEATING a game without having someone say “Oh. But did you get all the achievements? Cause if you didn’t….you didn’t actually beat the game. Sorry!”

cityeyes is right. also games have tutorials now because they are getting rid of wasteful books that come with the packaging

Main quest: Rescue princess
Freeform quest: Find fire flower
Freeform quest: Exploding bricks
Freeform quest: Yoshi!
Freeform quest: Defeat turtle
Free….

I grew up playing NES games and just about the only thing that I can relate to is the “Nintendo Fun Points” bit. Games have longer tutorials because they’re not simple side-scrollers with very little depth. Games have achievements because it adds something extra to a game that has been completed. I’ve never seen a game do that obnoxious facebook popup crap, and I play a hell of a lot of games. That said, I know this was meant to be a joke and I can definitely see the humor in the hyperbole. I’m just in a nitpicky kinda mood.

SO freakin’ true. So true. I am blinded by truthiness.
