It's not cheating if you figure something out that's legitimate that the other guy just doesn't know.

Leanne: I love that series (I'm a big SK nut, but it'd still be awesome even if I weren't). Drawing of the Three is my favorite. :)

I might have known at one time that you could control the duck, but if I ever did I've since forgotten.

Duck Hunt got pretty boring for me pretty fast. Turns out if you point at the middle of the screen, you can shoot the duck no matter where it is. A faint flick of the wrist (no more than a twitch, really), is about all it takes. Took the fun right out of it for me.

My dad is the only person in my house who could beat Mario. And he was really really addicted by Bomberman. He literally sat down on the couch every night and keep playing it.
Then the snes version came up. He practically stole my snes and play everyday. I hated it so much and I end up dipping the bomberman cartridge into the sink.

"All I needed was a man in black fleeing across a desert."

Thank you sir for alluding to the greatest (and only good) book(s) ever written by SK.

I've read the series, start to finish, with the original first version of the gunslinger, a few times.

I read a lot of Stephen King though.

I'm amazed so many people were unaware of the duck controlling abilities of the control pad.

2008-10-18T08:21:00.000-07:00

The line from The Gunslinger made me blink. No one reads The Dark Tower books. I tell them how great they are and their eyes glaze over because Stephen King=Horrific Gore and that's it.
Yeah, my comment has nothing to do with heart of the post. I'm just fixated on the fact that someone else read that series.

The trick is to not let them see you using the pad.

Put the control pad on the floor and use your toes to push the left and right buttons.

The duck goes insane.

You win and they die a little inside.

2008-10-18T03:14:00.000-07:00

I too had no idea you could control the duck. AWESOME.

That does raise the question of why our parents were so freaking good at games, anyway. My own father could beat the original Super Mario Bros. in his sleep, while I could barely pass the first few worlds. And I played it like twice as much as he did! To be fair though, I was like 6 or 7.

Holy crap, you can control the duck?!o.o

Holy crap, you can control the duck?!

2008-10-18T01:27:00.000-07:00

For you people talking about fooling your brothers, just let me preface my comment with this: I was the little brother. Good? Good.

THE CONTROL PAD MOVES THE DUCK?! How did I not know that? I feel shamed.

However, I still have my NES, Gun, Controllers (including two "turbo" controllers), and all my games in working condition. Does that make up for my horribly ignorance?

2008-10-18T00:20:00.000-07:00

As Pirelli said in that musical of musicals, Sweeney Todd: "I bow to a skill far defter than my own."

In all the years since I received that first NES as a gift on Christmas morning, never once have I ever realized that you could mess with the duck.

I am humbled sir. Truly humbled. Much as I was today on the Valkurm Dunes by a desert fucking rabbit.

It took MONTHS for my little brother to realize I was making his duck have seizures. You are made of win, Dave, I only wish to be you if I ever grow up.

I laughed quite hard at the end. That was a good one, [GM]Dave. Of course, when anyone here says that, we mean "better than your average awesomeness." Take no offense, I don't want to be fed to a Wyrm. >.<

2008-10-17T20:28:00.000-07:00

Dave has proved his awesomeness time and time again.

Then he throws in a DT reference.... How has the world not imploded in your awesome?

"Then the duck had a seizure."

Priceless.

I did the same thing to my brother, when we played. However, he caught on to my game.
