Evolution of Gaming in Minutes

As a kid who screamed his head off Christmas after Christmas opening boxes of consoles from Atarti to Gamecube, this video practically has me weeping. Although it’s missing some great consoles, it gives a brief history of gaming in a short period of time. If 30 years (not counting the oscilloscope) has brought us this far, imagine what it will be like in another 30 years. I know one thing that is going to be useful next is being able coordinate gameplay using Xbox Live’s built in conference call features.

 

Man, what I wouldn’t do to have a setup like this!

Star Wars Just Got Sexy

Finally, the realization of all of those fantasies you have had your whole life. Always asking yourself, “Wouldn’t it be awesome if C-3PO was like a hot chick in like a bikini”. It’s almost as if George Lucas is inside your brain right now! No way…that would be too crazy. That would be like him buying the rights to dead actors so he can re-create digital versions of them…He did what? It’s official George Lucas has tapped into our brains!

As a side note I would like to acknowledge the fact that we did not go for the glaringly easy bikini+wet dream joke because we are too classy.
