Talk:Chris and video games

Technique/Skill/Something?

I wonder if we could get a section on how well Chris plays video games. he's mediocre at Guitar Hero and he faffs about in his LBP levels, but those may just be him not being all that great at those genres. Above all, this may be just too subjective to work with. --OFSheep 03:30, 21 December 2009 (CET)

I agree, this would be an interesting bit of discussion, though it definitely could turn a bit subjective. For example, it's hard to assess how he plays Animal Crossing: In the documentaries, he's shown that he has two cities and has several characters with fully paid loans, which takes a damn long time no matter how you do it, but he also hadn't figured out how to sell multiple items to the store at once, which is pretty damn weird. --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 17:19, 21 December 2009 (CET)

• A popular theory is that Chris more or less masters video games by brute force - not by hand eye coordination but like Ullillia who plays Bubsy 3D for hours on end doing minutia in order to find bugs, Chris will spend hours playing video games until he masters them. However, as you both pointed out, we really don't have enough documentation to fully assess Chris's video game playing abilities and until such evidence arises, such a section would be too subjective and not encyclopedic enough. --Champthom 20:58, 21 December 2009 (CET)

The Gold Box games and C64

This was brought up in the eBay talk page: we're not exactly sure what platform those AD&D Gold Box games were for, though they could have been the PC / MS-DOS versions.

My Commodore 64 rambling on the talk page reminds me that we know precious little about his alleged C64 games. Chris has said a few times that he started his gaming on C64, yet we know so little about what games he played on C64... --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 14:45, 2 January 2010 (CET)
