So maybe Worm shouldn't write for a video game magazine. What is the excuse of the insipid worthlesseers at EGM?

[quote="Worm"]The worst part is that they're lifting Cosby's bit. This is the entire problem with the working world. Some idiot bigwig probably clapped when someone made the suggestion.

Oh, the irony.

Talking about kids trashing the old stuff because they don't know anything about it, and then crediting Bill Cosby for "Kids Say the Darndest Things", which in fact was Art Linkletter's creation back in the 1950s.

Irony, irony, irony.

More proof that youth is wasted on the young.

Kids...what do they know.

The worst part is that they're lifting Cosby's bit. This is the entire problem with the working world. Some idiot bigwig probably clapped when someone made the suggestion.

Does anyone want to buy up some domains "fuck-EGM/IGN/PCGamer" and throw up some bile about how they're garbage? You know just sensless cock knocking shit.

[quote]Donkey Kong is "lame." Tetris is "boring." Space Invaders "needs a superbomb or something." And why play Pong when it's more fun to "jump up and down on one foot"? Hey, save your irate letters--we didn't say this stuff. The nostalgia-nuking commentary is from our original Child's Play story in EGM's November 2003 issue, in which we had kids of the PlayStation generation playtest classic games from the '70s and '80s. Mortified gaming grown-ups wrote in to call it blasphemy--and call these outspoken scamps a name that rhymes with "brittle truckers."

[b]It was our most popular article ever.[/b] So we're doing it again, with a new batch of brittle truckers and a new bucket of classic games. Kindly address all knee-jerk missives to EGM@ziffdavis.com. [/quote]

I think some of the worst writing in America goes on at EGM. You can find a free subscription pretty easily, but why bother? They are damn straight the best article they ever did is them just transcribing opinions of nine year olds.

Anyway, the article is [url=http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3137498&did=1]here[/url]. It's hilarious. They inexplicably put them in front of some bad games from the 80s, which kind of wastes everyone's time, but seeing them react to the Atari 2600 version of Adventure and the arcade Star Wars game is good fun.
