Vidya /thatkid/ thread

>That poor kid who only had one video game that he played over and over again

Keep it vidya

>That kid who claimed to have already beaten every game you ever mention to him but dodges actually discussing it because he hasn't even played them at all

>that kid is the entirety of Sup Forums

>That kid who said he'd found a way to get Lara Croft naked

I remember this game. The kid is fast as fuck and dies to everything, and the bosses are all RNG based bullshit. Every time there's a fun stage like the motorbike ones it always takes it away at the end and I stopped on the part with the lava pits and ball walls everywhere, shit was infuriating.
But I played it on a plug n' play, so there was also the much more fun Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars, which I played several times.

>That older sister who said the bird lady was going to kill my Webkin

kid who said it was possible to get pokemon over level 100, kid who said jirachi/deoxys R/S/E spacecenter to moon, etc

Alex kidd was brilliant, it was built into the sega master system 2, so when you booted it without a game in it, it would launch.

The Sega Master system was so brilliant, the sounds and music where spot on, and there were so many fun games. Kept playing it until the N64 came out.

>When you booted it without a game in it, it would launch
Nice catch. That's why I picked it for the image.

>That kid who had strict Christian parents who wouldn't let him play games.

>That south american kid who owned this unironically
Plop!

>tfw friends with the pastor's son
>they took away all his Pokemon cards and games he secretly got as gifts on his birthday when they found out
Felt bad for him, he was lucky they didn't take his GBC too.

that guy who liked jrpgs

The bosses aren't even RNG man

>tfw I had an SMS II *and* Alex Kidd on cartridge
Why did my parents hate me so much?

Not who you responded to, but you're pretty cool, user.

>that kid who said puffles actually died when they ran away

>tfw you made fun of that kid but love jrpgs now

Not in an era where there wasn't a million FAQs on the internet for the thing. They're all determined by your first pick, but no child would figure that out unless they took the time to write down every interaction with it to know this. To the naked eye, it seems RNG.

>That kid who claimed to have beaten a video game you had but when you talked to him about stuff that was hard to get to in the game he said you were making it up
He was just a compulsive liar in general really

>that time you that kid'd that kid
apparently there is some water level in one of the ratchet and clank games that he got stuck on. i hated him so i told him that i beat that game and basically made up instructions on how to beat the level. he came to school everyday asking me for more and i would tell him he must've done something wrong. i also used to call him mr bean because he would always brag about our other friend lending him the mr bean ps2 game, because apparently that means that friend like him more than he likes me. his mother eventually spoke to mine because i was "bullying" her son by calling him mr bean and i was forced to apologize. looking back at it, he was clearing autistic.

I really fucking love the master systems cover art. It resembles grid paper you need for math.

I like how they subtely reminded us of school, while letting us play their vidya in our childhood.

>That kid who really REALLY liked Pokemon

>that kid that jerked off into you super Nintendo cartridges so they wouldn't work anymore[spoiler/]

>that time I "That Kid'd" my dad

>be like 13
>used to play tomb raider on ps1 with my dad
>there was some dude that would show up at random in certain levels
>we could never kill him, eventually came to the conclusion that he was invincible
>told my dad I killed the guy while he was at work
>my dad went back for another playthrough
>spent hours trying to kill the guy but got his shit slapped every time
>he was fucking pissed at me for like a week

I dunno why I did that. At the time I thought it was funny to troll my dad, but looking back on it he didn't have a lot of spare time outside of work and ended up wasting a bunch of his free time playing a game and not enjoying it. He probably doesn't remember it but I have always felt bad about this.

There was a kid in our school who said that Zelda and Link make out in the ending of the game. None of the rest of us had beat it yet, so we couldn't prove him wrong, but it was such obvious bullshit that the entire grade of boys chased him down across a field and through some woods. That kid literally ran for his life from like 60 kids who were so pissed off that he was lying about video games that we were all going to kick his ass. Eventually we all got tired and gave up.

Never that kid your dad, nigga.

NEVER.

THAT.

KID.

YOUR.

DAD.

NIGGA.

he was right tho. ending of zelda 2.

>That kid who would lie about cheats in video games

What even was the point? The "That Kid" I knew claimed that there was a cheat in Timesplitters that made the fish in Robofish's head jump out of its bowl and start throwing shurikens, like, it wasn't even plausible for a cheat code and was met with a "right...". The same kid also claimed in Resident Evil 1 you could do some kind of cheat that would allow you to "customise your character" and that he customised Jill to have a rocket launcher on her back she would fire by bending over. Again, just not plausible for the game and met with another "right...".

Bullshit. He was a faggot. He deserved getting chased for hundreds of yards by an angry mod of elementary schoolers.

>angry mod

MOB

Yeah I learned that lesson. I feel like that was a really mean way to fuck with someone who doesn't have a lot of spare time.

I still fuck with him though. The other night I farted on him and it was awesome.

Your dad sounds like a retard, just like you.

So low IQ is truly genetic.

>tfw I thought those enemies that spawn from boxes were decapitated sea lion heads
>only realised they were small wizard looking things a couple of decades later

Miracle World freaked me out as a kid.

They're apparently supposed to be ghosts.

>as a kid, constantly wanted new vidya but rarely ever got it
>nowadays have such a massive backlog and disposable income I can get most things I want within reason
>end up playing the same 4 games over and over again

Yeah, ghosts of dismembered sea lions.

Thanks.

You're a cheeky one.

Games become better the more often you replay them.

You can't really say that you know a game if you've beaten it only once. You missed too much stuff and connections. Beat it a least twice.

>tfw you realize most video games are shit

>That kid who only had the console Pokemon games and none of the handheld games
I was that kid for a while

>That kid who ran like Sonic

>That kid who only had games based on their favorite shows

Were there really people who only played these games and movie tie-ins? Talk about a fate worse than death.
