I really enjoy the art of the “Let's Play,” a practise that involves one gamer chronicling and/or recording his or her journey through a game while other gamers look on. It's a very friendly, social pastime that does a lot to ease your aching faith in the gaming community after spending five minutes with any Xbox 360 multiplayer experience.
Gamespite's forums house some particularly wonderful Let's Plays. I've sifted through some adventures I could never hope to experience otherwise. Forum member innerlogic has been slaving through some pretty rancid CD-i experiences for our amusement.
People talk about the sacrifice Jesus made for humankind, but man. It's like the CD-i was the best joke ever told, but nobody was around to hear it. If only I had known about Zombie Dinos From Planet Zeltoid, the specimen for today's FMV Hell. So many dark moments have passed in my life where I could have looked back on this and thought, “At least I didn't make Zombie Dinos from Planet Zeltoid. I am not irredeemable.”
I'll just go ahead and say what everyone's thinking:
1) Oh God, our '90s-era “attitude” and slang spread to and infected other species across the universe. We are bad people.
2) “Ookoo-Million light years?”
3)LET'S KICK SOME BRAIN!
(Back to where they came from, back to where they came from.)
