It has a scene where Sandler's character teaches Cheadle's how to play Shadow of the Colossus, and it actually had no script for some parts of it, where he was just legitimately teaching him how to play the game. Even with the plot of the game, a tale of loss, and seeing giants fall, it was chosen as the game they play for how it would serve as a reminder to the character. Legitimately one of the most insightfully done video game oriented segments of a movie.

One instance that really made me mad was in The Big Bang Theory. They have an episode where they're playing Halo 3 and they talk on and on about all of the mutilation and large amounts of blood. If you've even played a little bit of Halo 3, you would know that the game has only a little bit of blood, which can easily be missed, and there's no mutilation to speak of. I didn't mind it at first, but what was really annoying was that they make like 6-7 jokes about it, but again, not a big deal. I think what annoyed me the most though, was that someone at Fox must have really have loved that episode, because they played it like ten times more than any other episode I've seen. I haven't watched a lot of Big Bang Theory, but a big reason I haven't was due to them incessantly playing that episode.

12:39 the ironic thing is there is a metroid game that has levels and is on gba... And they chose zero mission which is the most open one in the franchise. All they had to do was use fusion and have samus in the 4th area adam sends you to. Oh and that's the first room of zero mission, it's the very start of the game. Whyyyyyyy

Lowkey a better title

I know Despicable Me is a MOVIE, but people seem to forget that one scene where Vector is sitting on his couch playing the Wii nowadays, and that is actually wrong.

To this day I cannot get over jesse pinkman playing sonic 06 with his kid

I miss Brock, bruh.

the weirdest thing is when characters in TV Shows / Cartoons play an original game that only exists in the universe of show and the game just looks nonsensical or doesn't seem to follow real world game design logic

What's really interesting to me is when shows and films feature more niche games in the background, usually by complete accident. It's not something most people would notice, but it definitely makes a scene more memorable from a modern perspective compared to the usual "rebellious teen plays loud and violent Xbox 360 FPS in his room with a "Do Not Enter" sign on the door."

I love the fact that every video of yours now have that clip of DK falling with the mine cart and screaming... LOOOOOOOOL

2:07That Sega game Hedgehog You Gotta power up or ur dead

I can't get enough of this stuff. If I ever somehow end up making a show or movie with a game in it, I'm throwing in as many inaccuracies as I can. Right down to a kid having a virtual boy taped to his face when he's not even the one playing.

I find it very interesting that in House M.D. they decided to show multiple consoles and multiple games from the same series, but that's literally it.

I remember in an episode of Wolverine & The X-Men Iceman plays one of the Iron Man Movie tie-in games. A 3D game. In a 2D animated show.

Here’s one I remember: In the movie Grosse Pointe Blank, there’s a scene where a guy is playing Doom on an arcade machine at a gas station and he doesn’t even notice the massive gunfight going on behind him. I don’t remember much else about it. But if you do a “video games in Movies” video, you should go over it

2:42 Hold on can we pause a moment... I'm still processing those last few sentences...

The Nintendo ninjas need to be going after the actors in TV media playing video games horribly instead of video game emulators 😂

Fans have less money to fight back with.

Bro has the Corrado Soprano look

If you ever upload a video that doesn’t have the sound of Donkey Kong going off the rails in a minecart, I’ll know to send for help immediately.

Haven't watched the vid yet but here is my favorite example: In the Netflix show Atypical, one of the characters plays Horizon Zero Dawn with voice chat and tells everyone they shouldn't have gone to Tilted Towers.

That Metroid stuff legitimately hurt

Honorable mention to people faking typing on a keyboard in crime movies when they zoom and enhance and zoom and enhance and zoom and enhance and... Same for people pretending to play Piano, Guitar or any other instruments.

Fr. I barely notice the instruments, but the zoom and enhance gets me every time. It has to get blurry at some point.

There used to be a german tv show that's basicly a regular KZread show, but on a TV-budget (so yeah basicly overfunded). And I swear to god, every time I watched this show it was always the same freaking episode 😂. In said episode they celebrated Silvester 2013 and talked about upcoming games. They still showed this episode in 2016 😂

So that's how Tony Soprano got into Super Circuit.

waltuh, put away the chaos emeralds waltuh

this effect is like the incorrectly-modeled pianos in games where there's a creation tool of sorts (roblox, rec room, minecraft even), even *THE* QUEST 3 FACEBOOK TEAM made a screwed up pug equivalent of a piano in a virtual environment/home menu. i genuinely die a little bit when i think about that

5:17 I love me a good ol' fashioned Mario Mental Breakdown 16:58 I couldn't agree more

Nothing hits more than Seeing Jessie Pinkman playing Sonic 06.

My GOAT Malcom in the Middle missing. Sonic R! They choosed Sonic R out of all the games that exist, and of course their controllers were off

I remember Malcom in the middle they were playing Sonic R at Stevie’s house

“How did Pacha die on the title screen?” 😂

I didn’t get this video in my feed when it was posted, but it was great! So glad you’re still making stuff Alax !

Fun fact, in the french version of breaking bad, Alexandre Gillet play Jesse and he’s also the french actor of Sonic in the games and tv series !

and i also forgot that the french voice of walter white is the announcer in smash 4 and ultimate, unfortunately he died in 2022

if you've never seen grandma's boy, it's a really funny movie for one, but it's about this dude developing a game called DEMONIK and the game was supposed to be real at one point

There's a scene in this Belgian film called "The Kid with a Bike," where a teenager is showing a kid how to play Assassin's Creed and it feels completely natural. You can't see the screen, but it's clear they're playing the actual game and talking like how real people would playing it.

I'm surprised not to see the scene from a movie (I think Charlie's Angels) where two kids are both playing FF8 like it's a two player game

I gotta say disappointed you didn't cover the GOAT, Clarissa Explains It All. Not only did she "play" a video game every episode, every video game she "made" herself that day in order to solve a problem in her real life.

“I’ll make you eat those words!”

Grandma's Boy (despite being about game developers) does not portray games all too well. The game the movie is centered was a canceled game they had the rights to, so at least that part is cool.
