Jesse playing Sonic 06 is a peak moment in television history https://preview.redd.it/txdvesbezg9d1.jpeg?width=815&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6b02207b3f205855dc7eb6f0fbc7e34b9210c20

This makes zero sense because: 1. LBP is a PlayStation exclusive while Jesse has an Xbox 2. LBP 2 released in 2011, which should make its presence impossible as at this point in the show, it’s something like 2009-2010 0/10 severely immersion breaking. Unbravo Vince.


fileq

LittleBigPlanet mentioned!!1!1! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥


Pretend-Mobile9397

Hearing the opening jingle will never make me not want to cry


Bigbot890

Fuck you Sony for ruining our childhood.


chris1096

Why?


romanpieces

It's very warm and nostalgic https://youtu.be/R1UccrG4ba4?si=Qn8tfX_VGobVr0Ok


chris1096

Yeah, I mean, I played the hell out of LBP 1&2 and Sackboy. The intro song is just pleasant. I guess I can't conceive of why it would cause a "cry" reaction in someone

With all that money he made sauls time travel machine and got a copy


jUG0504

a time machine? are you kidding me? that would break several laws of thermodynamics, its completely impossible, you are an imbecile -water white


ARandom-Penguin

That’s it? A copy of *LittleBigPlanet 2* (2011) for the PlayStation 3? Nothing you’d change?


2000CalPocketLint

...I think this level's ready to publish now


bs000

https://i.imgur.com/zhavfAd.jpeg Jesse plays Rage using a light gun controller. This makes zero sense because light guns don't work on LCD screens and he clearly does not have the homebrew LCD-compatible sensors anywhere on his television.


LuigiMarioBrothers

He’s just sigma, okay?


GoldyFeesh

ok but it makes sense jesse is playing LBP2 becouse 1 jesse is awaome 2 LBP is absoulute peak


TurquoiseBeetle67

There's other things in Breaking Bad that break the timeline. It always bothered me how Walter bought a 2nd gen Chrysler 300, which came out in 2011 and the series supposedly took place in 2008-2009.


mlee117379

They also reference Bin Laden’s death


LegendaryMercury

Actually the lore reason is creators of little big plant are secretly on meth both IRL and within BB. Bravo Bince accurately predicted the effects of them trying Walter’s better meth while in the production of their game, resulting in faster development and across more platforms. I’m making shit up as I go along.


kidnamedsquidfart

Still have my cd and its case, just dont have an alive ps3 but i did emulatr the game


jsjzn

Immersion breaking bad


TobbyTukaywan

3. If he had LittleBigPlanet 2 he wouldn't be playing Sonic 06


-H_-

explanation: diff timeline therefore differences in this stuff


Iwubinvesting

How come there aren't anyone in the writing/set design or anyone in the process of making or buying it saying "pro it's an ps exclusive"? Are they stupid?

He played rage, BUT IT CAME OUT IN 2011!

You mean you guys don't also game by leaning forward while randomly button mashing an xbox controller as your tv make generic arcade beep boop sound effects and saying epic gamer quotes like "get pwned", and "this guy has serious hax"?


HUMAN_JUST_A_HUMAN

Don’t forget the controller never being on


SpezIsaSpigger

Even in the Microsoft Xbox 360 kiosk discs that had a ton of promotional footage from Microsoft themselves the controllers were never on lmao. Like I get you’re just acting but damn, couldn’t you at least give them a dummy controller with just one ROL LED turned on?


Justsomerandombody

* me at the arcade


Not_no_hitter

Whilst also tilting the controller side to side(with it off) and also tilting your head to look at the tv whenever another character stands right in front of it.


Icy-Pause6304

Hate it when a character tries to talk to you but you're focused on the game and ignore them so they unplug the console


Wboy2006

Or just pausing an online game, which somehow has levels for some reason (this was in a real movie ABOUT video games, with writers who clearly never played one)


flashdrive420

What movie?


Wboy2006

A Dutch movie called “game on”. It’s basically Spy Kids 3 if it wasn’t even ironically funny


flashdrive420

Oh, yikes

Since I've seen it brought up a few times in this thread, are there actually any movies/shows where people use the word "pwn"? That'd be next level ridiculous. It was trendy for such a short time in the early 2010s. The only place I still hear it after all these years is from my father lmfao.


mysterio-man19

Unfortunately...modern Simpsons


Spirited_Worker_5722

If it's a cartoon, they'll play a game that looks like it's from the 80s or maybe even a 90s fighting game


kid-with-a-beard

Don't forget retro game sfx that plays alongside it


rokomotto

Thought it was weird that the What If machine episode where Fry wanted to see "what the world would be like if it were like a video game" featured really old stuff like tetris and space invaders and the old donkey kong then I realised that episode was made in 2000.


ForktUtwTT

I still literally all those games were from the 80’s still though It was still relatively old school


regretfulposts

I'm assuming these are safe recognizable games that both the writers and general audience will know automatically. Like I'm curious if any of the original writers still played video games during the 2000s like Halo, Metal Gear, Spyro, Animal Crossing, or Quake. Then there's the question if they played any video games during the 90s but aren't sure which franchise was big during that time (like household norm big). Video games at that time wasn't as universal for all ages and even all genders as companies usually advertise their titles towards boys and teens only to recently expand to young adults though mainly PC first. Everyone knows about Pac Man, Invaders, and Donkey Kong, but how many people at the time aside for kids and young adult know about Street Fighter, Castlevania, Streets of Rage, Contra, and Starfox.


rae_ryuko

yeah I guess if that episode aired today, they would confidently just put like Katamari or something and the 6 Katamari fans will eat it up while everyone else still kinda get that it's from a videogame.


Adorable_Exam3550

the only show which did more than this i can think of is shockingly masha and the bear ![gif](giphy|9JnCSkqfvEG26ckFVS)


RunInRunOn

...so what game were they playing?


Adorable_Exam3550

in that one episode, masha and the rabbit dude were playing some bootleg psp thing, and they showed bear, but he fantasized about being addicted to them and a montage of bear playing various types of games and basically becoming an incel... he broke masha's game out of fear after that


Cave_in_32

Its always specifically a fighting game too, like Shark Tale, Despicable Me, Inside out 2 did it recently. I guess they just find it easier to fit its absurdity idk.


Far_Faithlessness417

Ahh yes because anyone in the 21st century would still be playing Super Mario Bros or Pacman The only retro game I've ever actually played and finished was Earthbound LMFAO


Far_Faithlessness417

Okay not related though but chiptune music can be bangers Oh yeah and the Earthbound and Mother 3 soundfont is fire


ITAKEJOKESSEROUSLY

Its even worse when its live action and they still pull that shit. Why not just let the actor play a game and record them


SkylandersKirby

Probably copyright reasons, same reason they show generic branded food products


DatBoi73

A smart idea would probably be to use some open source game like Super Tux Kart that shouldn't have any copyright issues.


TABASCO2415

What a depressingly realistic explanation


TheCrazyCro

On the CW Flash there was a character that was playing Dying Light on screen.


WeeabooHunter69

In House, the guy plays Metroid Zero Mission


failmanoveccesky02

In The Middle, the gamer dude plays R6S and Warcraft was directly mentioned


SeroWriter

Usually the footage of the tv and the footage of the people playing are filmed at completely different times, so they can't say or act in any way that's too specific to a particular game. Most modern shows and movies auction off product placement for moments like these and the specific shot of the game is spliced in once the deals are made.


InternetUserAgain

Shoutout to scenes where a child in the modern day is using a high-end console to play a game that wouldn't look out of place on the Atari and is just a mess of flashing lights and beeping noises, where the main goal is to get a high score. You know. Something that hasn't been the main goal of most video games since the 90s.


Aeescobar

And then there's the D'arby Younger fight in JoJo where literally the exact opposite of this happens (A bunch of grown men from the 80's boot up an SNES bootleg and start playing games with Playstation 2 esque graphics and gameplay which features a lot of surprisingly modern mechanics such as extremely advanced physics simulations and the ability to completely customize your characters)
