Stupid shit you did as a kid

I caught all the Unown in alphabetical order since some faggot playground kid told me it would unlock Celebi

Well yeah, the only good thing their guide for Legend of Dragoon is the Stardust locations.

I gave away my Steam profile in 2005...

I believed every post people made on those old cheat websites about unlocking secret characters in ssb.
>tfw I wasted God knows how many hours trying to beat 1P Mode on the hardest difficulty without taking any damage because some pos faggot said it would unlock charizard

When I got every pokemon in Red version and my only reward was a fucking splash screen I decided to never waste my time trying to 100% another game. And whenever a strategy guide or instruction booklet hinted at something cool happening if you find all the collectibles, I always assumed it would just be an underwhelming congratulatory splash screen.

Not sure if they made the Morrowind guide but that thing was awesome. Got it at a book fair because my parents wouldn't buy the game for me, due to them being very strict chirstfags. Would read it over and over again and got to play the game at a friends house.

I buried my Pokemon Yellow cartridge with my dead cat.

Why was he not always there? Like you'd defeat him, and then go back up the mountain and he wouldn't be standing there.

You had to beat the E4 again to make him come back, if I recall correctly

friend of mine heard from his friend that if you parked a Warthog and just sat out in the water as far out as you could during the Silent Cartographer episode of Halo: CE after an hour a sea monster would come up and maybe eat you
tried it loads of times

Red is basically a Mary Sue
Go to Red theme on youtube and look at how Chuck Norris the comments get

>using Youtube comments
>to make your fucking point
You're as bad as fucking twitterscreencap overreacting fucks.

I couldn't find the Kokiri Sword so I gave up even trying to get past Mido. Then I picked it up after a few months, found it, and proceeded to have the greatest gaming experience of my life.

Unfortunately I ruined it for myself. I couldn't get past the soldiers in Hyrule Castle and asked my mom to take me to the mall so I could get a strategy guide. I used for the entire rest of the game.

I deleted my gibus

I tried this but gave up around L or M. What waste of time.

It's not like the games do anything but encourage it

>S O U L

Youtube comments are even more bottom of the goddamn barrel. They're as bad as fucking facebook screencaps. And it's not like the games actively use Red outside of the remakes.

when I got a gameshark for my gba to use on pokemon sapphire I had no idea how to use it so I would put in shit like "find mew" or "level 100 rayquaza" in it thinking it would somehow know whatever the fuck I was asking

Zoomers remember Chuck Norris?

>Unfortunately I ruined it for myself. I couldn't get past the soldiers in Hyrule Castle and asked my mom to take me to the mall so I could get a strategy guide. I used for the entire rest of the game.
Me too man, it took me like 2 months to reach Water Temple. I never thought it was "hard" (had more issues with Fire Temple labyrinth as dumb as it may sound), but fucked up with the keys and had to erase my save file. In the mean time I had the chance to buy the guide so I just went for it and used it for everything.

There was a rumor at my school that if you played mortal kombat late at night, you get swallowed into the game, becoming a playable character and stuck there for all eternity

And so I never played MK after sunset

>Gameshark

Oh boy, that takes me back. I used to use it for Goldeneye and Perfect Dark all the time.

How?

I didn't know we could rename the rival so I kept him as ???? and after the rematch in Mt. Moon I always wondered if I would ever get to know his name.

I mean, I did fall for many rumors and myths back in the day, but this is retarded.

I'd say this is only 50% stupid but would anyone else not bother with the lowercase characters and have their name in all caps as a kid?

...

>tfw cant recall any stupid shit I did as a kid in video games

>bought a transfer pak for this whole slew of fucking bullshit
>had no idea what a transfer pak was
>after i realized i got turbo bamboozled by digital "that kid", i realize i have pokemon stadium and pokemon yellow
>small victory for stupid act

I was given a gameboy color as a wee lad. No games. I used it as a flashlight to read books at night, had no idea I could play games on it until I got a Nintendo DS

you have to match how the rest

I can top that.

-Buying Bomberman hero used because without the gamebox, there's no way to know it's a single player game.

-Playing through 6 levels of bomberman hero after getting it in hopes that one of the extra features you unlock through single player mode is classic 4 player bomberman that I can play with 4 N64 controllers. They'd have to at least port one of the TURBO 16 ones so you can have some form of multiplayer bomberman, ...right?

-Staring at the TV screen in broken resignation when you realize that even the competitive mini games you unlock are all strictly VS. the computer.

By the time I finally got the REAL bomberman 64, I just didn't care anymore.

It's just a cheeky throwaway reference to how he's a protagonist from another game who doesn't talk. And being silent doesn't make a character a Sue anyway.

>I was given a gameboy color as a wee lad. No games. I used it as a flashlight to read books at night
horseshit you would need an additional flashlight to to do that
a GBC's screen didn't light up

>people are now lying owning a GBC
why is it this that finally makes me feel old

youtube.com/watch?v=WeNpXb7O19w
Intense themes are clearly fanservice too

Holy shit
That is some serious fiction right there and it REEKS of it

I would analyze party members characterization in my RPGs and when going into the final battle give them what I thought of as their "canon" final equipment.

You're probably a dumb adult

i'm doing this with the FFXII remaster

We had a brief gang war in my school, the people who believed Mew was under the SS Anne truck vs. the people who didn't. To my shame I was on the factually wrong side. To my relief the gang war ended not with us being proven wrong but with a school holiday after which everyone just forgot about it.

Had a memory card but forced myself to finish games on a single sitting.

I was also very easily startled by loud and tense noises, things like the re-deads, dimly lighted rooms and tense atmospheric sounds/music scared me to the point i had to play certain games with no volume.

When I was little, I used to use cheats in GTA games, just because all that power made me feel invincible.

wtf

Same, although it's pure shitty memory since I did plenty of stupid shit as a kid.

All caps was the way to go.

a-user the GBC didn't have a backlight.

I challenged him once and he kicked my ass so I moved on

Is there any decent later version of bomberman, even a straight up clone/ripoff, or is Super Bomberman on that shitty multiplayer SNES emulator really the only want to play it?

literally not possible and you're a faggot for trying to make us believe you did this

Bomberman is a hudson game, and while there are a few ports on SNES because they had a good relationship with Nintendo, Hudson also had their own home console which had plenty of bomberman releases all with 5 players multiplayer support.

Turbo 16 games were also made available on the Wii virtual console with 5-player support, which was a huge plus for the systems early years.

Are you fucking serious? There's good to decent Bomberman games fucking everywhere.

when i had a "going into games" machine - this woulve been early 2006- i used to go into majoras mask A LOTand one of my fav things to do was fondle romani at the ranch. one of the great things about fondling video game characters is they don't fight back or struggle because they don't recognise u as a player character..its like you dont exist. but let me tell you, she smelled like SHIT. in fact everybody i that game did..I got used to it after a while but that first moment when i smelt romani up close..i was almost sick. she looks clean & nice when you see her on television but when ur there stood next to her its a different story. The machine was stolen in the end and im kinda glad. it had started to take over my life

I named my cindaquil 'YES!' cause I was really excited to finally have a Pokemon game of my own

>Play Bomberman 64 to death as a kid at my cousins
>Find out years later in my teens Rainbow Palace exists

I was so excited to have finally gotten pokemon Blue that for show and tell I stood up in front of the class and read off all the pokemon I had caught. Included all three rattata.

When I was in 3rd grade I had a friend tell me that by 2020 there’s gonna be a console out with graphics so good they’re going to make a game with the Spice Girls naked and it’s going to look just like real life.

We’re not there yet so I’m still not sure if he was bullshitting me.

>battling your past self shouldn't have an intense theme
Hating fanservice just for the sake of hating fanservice makes you a contrarian tryhard, no better than the people who want fanservice for the sake of fanservice

Cute

>he doesn't keep up to date on the photo realistic VR porn games
Fucking casual. Your friend was a blessed prophet.

I spent hours trying to get to the secret volcano level in Donkey Kong 64 to unlock Ninja Kong. A black haired chimp that uses banana nunchucks.

That nigga ain’t even real!

What kind of cat were they user?

>photo realistic VR porn games
>console

How old are you people? 50?

I was that kid spreading fake rumors

The Black 2 theme is a massive improvement over the HeartGold version. Guess they listened to the complaints that the HeartGold one was too soft.

You're not fooling anyone only crazy boomers mass quote

Lunar 2 has a fantastically detailed guide book in a really nice hardback cover.
Also probably one of the funniest guides I've read and still flip through it because of that.

I remember when prima guides for Sunshine called Mario's Ground pound "The Butt stomp"

I still do

Nintendo's official guides always had actual pictures taken from screenshots or source, Prima just had outlines of areas. It was a sad day when Nintendo put the kibosh on the Official Player's Guides entirely.

I had the Prima guide to Shadows of the Empire. I was convinced something was wrong with my game because there was a challenge point missing. How the hell could a BOOK be wrong? I felt so betrayed when I found a copy of Tips and Tricks that had more information about the game in 5 pages than the entire Prima guide.

I named Squall "I'm Gay" in Final Fantasy VIII which lead to a few hours of hard laughs such as
>"I'm gay. Tell that to Seifer" (Squall's first spoken line in the game)
>"I'm gay. I can't just run away" (second line)
>"I'm gay. What's so funny?" (fourth line)
>"I'm gay. I'm more complex than you think." (fifth line)
It just ... kept ... coming. Oh my god I was laughing so hard.

I named my rival ??? because that's how he introduced himself as and that's what the police officer asked.

I fucked up Red back then and never got this whole "Red is unbeatable" meme that every fag parrots.
All the fucker did was defeat one mafia boss and win the league one time, and this somehow makes him legendary.

>"I'm gay. It's none of your..."
>Quistis: "...Business!"
sixth line.

I didn't know you had to find flash up until my 4th playthrough of ruby so I just scooted round the edges

I had to look up the answer to the piano riddle for Silent Hill 1.

>Quistis: "And I'm gay. I need to talk to you."
just after 6th line
Yeah, I'm gonna have to try this.

I named Silver ??? Because that was his name in his first fight and I didn't want to lie

That's not dumb, I did the same thing. I wasn't about to lie to the cop and claim his name was fucking "Gaylord" or something.

Still waiting for an answer

The one for System Shock 2 is amazing

Speaking of guides anybody every have any guides from VersusBooks? They always seemed to.make the best guides.

I had a guide for the GCN Animal Crossing that had a bunch of beta items listed as obtainable. I always wondered what the hell an "unused monkey" was.

the one for BG2 was pretty great not gonna lie

I punched and threw my gameboy away because his snorlax fucking kept on resting and snoring and killing my team. I was underlevelled and very young then. I think that was my earliest ptsd.

One of the first team rocket grunts you meet says if they beat you, they'll force you to join team rocket. I spent a while trying to figure out how to unlock the "team rocket route".

I had an obsession in Pikmin about not losing any Pikmin whatsoever, as such I never made it far in the game.
Today I finally conquered my demons and beat it though, albeit with over 200 Pikmin dead.

Ampharos

That's what made it so frustrating for me as a kid.
Out of all the bomberman games on all the systems, I bought the only one that wasn't multiplayer.

You should have challenged him and lost on purpose

What's wrong with this?

Tried all of the Pokémon yellow 'bills secret garden' tricks that retards posted on game FAQ and those shit old sites. Stuff like walk around the pools outside his house 20 times in each direction and shit

>GBC
>backlight
pick one

This

Scored an action replay DS from a kid who didn’t know about adding codes to games for 2 oreo cookies.

i played through all of yellow using a mankey as my main and putting that useless pikachu in a box

Respect dude.

I beat the elite 4 in Red ten times in a row with a single Pokemon in my party (my lv100 Chadstoise) because some fag told me it would "unlock" Togepi
>It didn't

the zelda 64 game had great art

When i was a teenager i could make all sort of codes on the ps gameshark but I'm sure if i tried that now it would be like trying to read moon runes
