Gaming Stereotypes, and Stock Photos

Video games have had an interesting journey, in terms of how they’ve been depicted. Being a gamer used to mean that you were socially akward, living in your parent’s basement, and were addicted to Surge. You have to love old school stereotypes.

Times have definitely changed, as gaming is now main stream. It’s cool to game on. With titles like Guitar Hero, Wii Sports, everyone is getting in on the action.

Of course, as the popularity of gaming has grown, so has the depictions of people playing them. And boy, are they pretty awful. As demonstrated by this ‘the minus-world’ article. The author, agent b, scoured through stock photo sites to find images of people playing video games. Here are some of my favorites he found, with hilarious captions accompanying them.


“Hey Paulo, what say we play round of 20 year old game video before make erotic at Italian discotheque?”


“It was the best mid-80’s Special Ed School Picture Day ever for helmeted student Timmy Whisner, imagined Timmy whisner.”


“You’re on, Ryan Seacrest!”


“Oh fuck you, Ryan Seacrest!”


“We love little boys! Uh, I mean games! We love games!”

  • Well, that didn’t take long. It’s been all of a week, and we already have Microsoft’s second ad featuring the legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld, and Bill Gates. It’s definitely not as bad as the first. Atleast this commercial was understandable, as being a spoof to the ‘The Simple Life’, who starred Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

    I’m not sure if Seinfeld is supposed to be Hilton, or what but either way it still failed to bring the laughs. Again, it’s still better than their first debacle at the shoe store. Maybe the third one will garner a smile. Ok, I’ll admit Bill Gates telling the bedtime story did make me smirk

  • Sarah Palin Flash Game

    Oh, the election season it always brings out the best in people. We get to argue topics that generally no one knows what the hell they’re talking about. What I find so great about the political season is the humorous attacks that each side of political spectrum throws at the other. Here’s the first flash game to pop up for one of the presidential vice-presidential candidates.

    For all of you conservatives out there who are offended, don’t worry. The first game that pops up with Obama running around inflating people’s tires, I’ll be the first to post it.

    If you care to find out the reason behind the game, click on the information option on the menu screen. Be careful, Sarah Palin will blindside you with that tank of hers.
