TV characters playing videogames never seem to look or sound right.

How about in old movies from the 70's and 80's where somebody can just start typing away at a keyboard and the computer does magical things. For instance, Gilbert trying to impress Judy in Revenge of the Nerds or Rusty making Pac Man chase the car while Clark checks the trip planner in the original Vacation movie.

Keep this in mind when reading what I type...

I've been gaming longer than many of you have been alive.

in an episode of MONK they had snoop dog holding xbox360 controller and playing a game that was nothing more than 2 badly drawn illustrations switching back and forth, it looked hilariously bad.

That's how 360 games actually look. PS3 FTW!

My first was an episode of Roseanne where her son wanted the new fangled Super Nintendo. She was playing the title screen, saying "I'm about to become queen of the monkey people!"

That's why Tom Arnold left her.
