Hello, and welcome to a special edition of....
WHEN CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Today we shall be looking at a number of cases that can only occur....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Nobody knows why our consoles sometimes turn against us, but maybe in these cases it is due to poor sales of the console. Maybe it feels it's owner hasn't done enough to promote it to his or her friends. Either way, the results can be terrible.
When Turbonutter discovered a CD based console, with a built in hard-drive to save games, he was thrilled, and saved for months to afford his very own Panasonic 3DO. If only he had know what could happen....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
This system promised so much to Turbonutter, the best in audi-o, combined with the best in vide-o, combined with the best in 3D-O games. As much as he enjoyed a great version of Street Fighter 2: Turbo Edition, games like "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" kept finding their way into his console, and soon he became frustrated with it. The console hadn't taken off well, and was finding many units in bargain bins. Worse still, whenever Turbonutter had friends over, he'd hide his 3DO away. Turbonutter decided to give his 3DO one last chance, and purchased Shadow: War of Succession. After 5 minutes play Turbonutter was horrified. Rubbish, rubbish game. He stormed over to his 3DO, and tried to release the game, but it wouldn't open. He attempted to slam his fist down upon it, but as his fist came down, the top flipped open. His hand crashed into the disc, and the lid clicked back down into place, trapping his hand inside! He tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't come, so he unplugged it, and swung his arm around the wall, but still it held onto him. With force, Turbonutter flung his arm towards the wall. A mere instant before impact, the 3DO fell from his arm, leaving his hand to smash hard into the wall. Turbonutter seriously bruised 3 knuckles, and now knows the absolute fear that can occur....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
With his hand so badly bruised Turbonutter was unable to play any games for a while, not that he would have wanted to on his 3DO which has now found a home in a box in the basement. Had Mr Nice Guy have heard this tale he may not have been so quick to get himself a Jaguar, but he was unaware of what can happen....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Mr Nice Guy had a great time as a child, playing on an old Atari 2600 that had been given to him by a cousin that had outgrown consoles and moved on to become a fan of Adam Ant and the like. Many a fond moment was spent playing Ms Pacman, Pitfall and Combat. Years later when Atari attempted to get back into the console market he wanted to relive those days, and queued to buy a Jaguar on launch day.
Soon enough though the Jaguar began to gather dust. The games were nothing like those he remembered, and not a patch on the ones on his friends consoles. Had he made a mistake? Mr Nice Guy decided to part-exchange it for something else. As he was removing all of the leads from the console he found the pad was stuck in the port. He gave it a harder tug, but still it would not come out. He tried to pack it away without unpullging it, but it didn't fit back in properly. He sat the console on the floor, and sat upon the bed, above it, with pad in hand. He placed his feet on the console, and pulled hard. Still nothing. He leaned back, for more leverage. The console came up with his feet as they rose in the air. Now fully on his back, with his legs at a 90 degree angle, Jaguar sittign on his feet, he tugged with all his might. A 'pop' was heard, and it was free. The end of the cable came flying at Mr Nice Guy, but he managed to turn his head out of it's way. This movement, however, disrupted the careful balance of the Jaguar, and it fell from Mr Nice Guy's feet, and down between his legs. The heavy console plumetted down to his plums, and he yelped in pain. When he finally managed to get up, the Jaguar went straight into the box,and never saw the ligth of day again. No doubt Mr Nice Guy wishes he'd never taken it from the box, knowing the pain and swelling that can be caused....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
SonicRav had long been a Sega fan, and the release of the Saturn was quite a moment for him. There were many top games, which he enjoyed immensley. WOuld his enjoyment have been hampered had he have known what could occur....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Despite dropping shelf space for the Saturn in stores Sonic didn't mind. The games were great, especially 'NiGHTS'. SonicRav would play it all the time, even right through the night. WOuld he have played so long had he have feared the consequences....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!?
One marning when NiGHTS had left SonicRav with no sleep he prepared to leave the house. Throwing on clothes that smelt clean, and not bothering to brush his hair. He had one shoe on, but couldn't locate the other. Finally he spotted it in the corner, beneath the shelf which held his Saturn and the games. He reached in, grabbed the shoe, but pulled up too swiftly, catching his head on the shelf. Th eknock also lead to a couple of games falling too, also onto his head! He felt himslef falling, and reached up for support. He grabbed the Saturn pad, which didn't stop him from falling, it just brought the Saturn down with him, crashing down into his stomach, winding him.
When he was finally able to catch his breath he realised he'd have to be more careful, as he now knows the full extent of the terror that occurs....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Stryke had long enjoyed gaming on the move, and had had a number of different handheld over the years, a GameGear, a Lynx and a gameboy. As it had been Nintendo's system that had been the most dependable he decided to upgrade when on a shopping trip to New York. He bought hislef a Virtual Boy, and Mario's Tennis. Stryke was intrigued with the little machine, but a little annoyed that it wasn't wholly portable. It needed to be sat on a table or something, and you needed to look down into it. Also playing the game for any length of time made his head hurt. The graphics weren't bad, though it was very, very red. Maybe the Virtual boy saw red itself when deemed a failure? Maybe that's why it decided to show Stryke what happens....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
Stryke was playing at home, on the table in his room. He was enjoying a game of Mario's Tennis, getting really into it. What he didn't realise is that he was slowly edging ever closer to the table whenever he returned the ball! Eventually he had gone too far. As he pushed his head further into the Virtual Boy it slipped over, and down off the table. Stryke followed it down, and slipped from his chair. Both the Virtual Boy and his head went into the waste paper bin, and it wasn't coming out either! Stryke couldn't see a thing, and called for help. Nobody came, so he headed out into the hall, or at least he tried. With the bin on his head he walked straight into the door frame, and knocked himself out.
Eventually doctors were able to remove his head from the bin, but he requested the Virtual Boy remain there. Probably because he had experienced the absolute dastardly horrors that only occur....
WHEN UNSUCCESSFUL CONSOLES ATTACK!!!
So be careful when buying a console kids. If it doesn't fare as well as planned you could be next to see what happens....

Very good Meka!
I was looking forward to you doing another When Consoles Attack topic after reading the old one.
This is good (and very worthy of a GAD) but not as good as the last one.
Stamps it.

That was awesome, i like the way you have written it in the style of a bad American documentary.
Great topic, once again. Very entertaining, but not as much as the Xmas special.
I remember that game, back when I was a PC gamer..Damn, it sucked.
Brilliant as always, Meka.

Yup. Shame people don't understand it's entertainment that this forum needs, not shoddy console wars. Excellent as always.
"Plumbers Don't Wear Ties"
Dear oh dear oh dear oh dear... I think PC Gamer STILL has it down as worst game ever.
