Phishing is the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication[1].

I don't think I attempted to steal any of your passwords with this thread


I know that, but its more so to do with the similarities behind the ideas, such as what I just highlighted here. ~_n

He's fooled you well.

OT: The funny thing is, this is mostly true.

There's no way this can be real. I don't believe people are that stupid.

Very well written.

Even as a joke article, which I'm pretty sure it is, it's probably true since most games on mobile devices and those geared towards younger kids are devoid of any real challenge and difficulty.

I bet if you were give this test to "gamers" with a Wii as their first or only console, at least half of them would fail it as well.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

The funny thing about people saying stuff like the NES generation is superior in skill is that it was mostly an easier generation than the previous one. NES, for the most part, switched from the twitch gaming of the Atari to memory based gaming, where all you really had to do was learn patterns. I used to literally beat most of the NES games I owned playing with the controller behind my back. NES only had a few really difficult games, the rest were cake once you figured out the timing.

Riiiight.  I'm sure Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden were pieces of cake compared to the likes of Pac Man and Space Invaders.

They were! You just have to memorize the patterns!

Someone points out it's fake and everyone's a genius at detecting satires all of a sudden.

With that said I knew that was a joke article. :P

Not sure what's supposed to be hard about using a NES controller behind your back. It's not like you would be operating the controller any different.

But tell me more about the NES games you owned and beat.

Oh, I'm sure it would be easy for you.

You want to know what games I owned and beat?  Why, are you going to tell me that I only had easy games?  We gonna go back and forth about how this game was hard but that game wasn't?  Yeah, sounds like a blast.  Anyway, off the top of my head, and I'm not going to dig out my old games, I remember beating Double Dragon 2, Contra, Punch-Out, and Shadow of the Ninja on like a daily basis.  RBI Baseball was fun but super easy--I always played as the SF Giants for some reason I can't remember.  Mega Man, obviously, was about timing and learning boss fights.

Nobunaga's Ambition was only hard because you could suddenly die randomly.

I wish I could remember the name of the basketball game I had.  You could steal the ball from the A.I. ever single time, though, so it was really just a competition to see how many points you could score.

I just got through yelling at the television while playing True Vault Hunter mode in Borderlands 2.  It just seems silly to me to have people give me the old "up-hill both ways in the snow" line about older console generations, especially when I was there.
