I have a good paying job, I do NOT live in my mother’s basement, I do NOT own a Captain Kirk costume. But I play video games, so I guess that makes me a loser.
Oh but wait, I’m a chick so that means I’m cool and I don’t have to be a total basement-dwelling mouth-breather to have played the Prince of Persia games. A game franchise, might I add, that earned 6 Guinness World Records that include record for “Highest Rated Platformer on PS2 and X-box.”
Forget the bullshit “level 10″ in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, because not every video game has Pac-Man-like levels, particularly ones that tell a narrative storyline like PoP. It took me OVER 15 HOURS to finish Two Thrones. I didn’t have an audience for most of that. And when my friends DID watch it was because it was a compelling story with interesting characters, not to watch me die over and over while they hung around in the background and played “air controller.”
So I ask you, WHO ARE THE REAL LOSERS IN THIS CLIP?
ANSWER: Ubisoft for lending out their otherwise awesome title to a bunch of idiot television writers who think we all sit around in our mother’s basements wearing Captain Kirk uniforms as we play video games.
