    Those kids have no idea what a classic game is, it makes me sad to think that a generation will be calling GTA3 a classic. Oh well.

    I don't mind saying some of those kids need a good beating. I hate sarcastic kids like Andrew or Tim.

    Good thing I don't have kids of my own

    Yeah, it's pretty obvious most of that was made up, still pretty funny though.

    This is for Tetris:

    Tim: Which button do I press to make the blocks explode?

    EGM: Sorry, they don't explode.

    Becky: This is boring. Maybe if it had characters and stuff and different levels, it would be OK. If things blew up or something or—

    Sheldon: If there were bombs.

    Becky: Yeah, or special bricks. Like, if a yellow brick touched a red brick it would blow up and you'd have to start over.

    John: Why haven't I won yet? I've paired up so many of the same color.

    EGM: Don't worry about colors.

    John: I just lined up six of the same color. Why didn't they blow up?

    EGM: Nothing blows up.
    And this is about Space Invaders:

    Tim: This is nothing compared to Grand Theft Auto III, because you can't steal a taxi cab, pick up somebody, then drive into the ocean with him.

    Kirk: And you can't pick up an AK-47 and go kill—hey, those aliens on the top row, you use them in EGM for stuff.
    I'd actually think this wasn't made up. There are a lot of kids that would say the same thing.
