You're not getting it, we are nerds trying to extend our youth by completely filling our life with toys. We're no better than sports fanatics...

...but there's not really much else to do but be a nerd or sports fan...

... it's either that or beat the wife.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

2. The controllers are indeed too complicated.

Nintendo isn’t crazy. The controllers for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are unwieldy, especially for someone who last played a video game in the Pac-Man or Super Mario Bros. era. Manipulating it is a skill lacked by many, so why be annoyed at them?

5. No, I do not need to read a FAQ to find all 502 ways.
Look, it’s great that such things exist for those who want them. Personally, however, I don’t much enjoy films or books where I need a running commentary just to figure out what’s going on. Why would I enjoy it in a game?

15. I need help playing games sometimes.
There–I said it. I’m not going pro anytime soon and I still need someone to help me along from time to time. On second thought, I might use one of those FAQs just so I don’t waste ten hours trying to find the blue key.

Tens of millions of casual players have been able to master a keyboard and mouse (as well as the DS2), which I'd say is more complicated than a PS360 controller. Obviously people are more familiar with it, but it doesn't make controllers too complicated.

So they don't want to need a FAQ for extra things, but they don't mind needing one just to finish the game?

The list was a little presumptious, but I guess since it's a parody list with comedy in mind, I won't get to worked up over it.

There is so much fail on those points it's laughable.

The point about not knowing the Pokemon and Zelda characters is pretty weird considering Pokemon is extremely popular among people who don't normally play games a lot.

Also, they love FF7 because it's like a movie, but game stories bore them? roflmao contradiction.

The worst part is I can't even find any of this funny, it just doesn't flow with my sense of humor. It's pretty poor imo.
