    I feel like it means: we are not like Nintendo, we make video games for adults (and children who want to play like adults).

    I miss that era. Companies didn’t mind a bit of edginess and weren’t afraid to market to adults. The console culture itself also isn’t what it used to be.

    These days, gaming consoles all need to be safe enough for five year olds to play on them. And it’s caused everything to be just too bland and safe, both in marketing and the console itself. Can’t really have things like Xbox 360 Uno with the live camera feed and no moderation. Or the wholly uncensored COD lobbies.

    I find this funny, since I used to hide drugs like mushrooms inside consoles. I figured it was the one place literally no one would think to look. Just unscrewed them, put a baggie inside in one of those empty spaces (there’s always a spot), and put the case back together.

      I still have my megatokyo sticker, “Live in your world. Die in ours.” Probably couldn’t be that edgy anymore, but I still like it.

          Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe ecstacy is actually dehydrating. Dancing at a rave for hours on end without drinking anything is though.

            Just like SSRI’s, Ecstasy does interfere with your hypothalamus and temperature regulation. So, small energy expenditures creat oversized responses.

            You would still sweat heavily doing more than lying down with a fan blowing on you.

              Yeah, another part of the problem is that you cannot tell that you are hyperthermic and or dehydrated.

              Thats how you get the people that dance all night and then just die, or go comatose or pass out.

              Your body stops telling you wow, i am way too hot and wow, i really need water.

              Sort of like that rare condition where you literally cannot feel pain, and children with it will break their fingers because it feels weird.

    Can someone make a version of this photo, but its acetaminophen and the girl is just up-aged to how old she’d be now?

      Wait, is that actually Garbage? That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the picture. That Bond music video she did was awesome. World is Not Enough.

    This isn’t a real PS2 ad. It’s a fake created a few years ago by an influencer named Shy Smith.
