When people are playing games in movies, commercials (ones that aren't for the game, generally), whatever... how the two kids are always frantically pressing every button, and in most cases, pounding on them. To boot, you have the really bad ones where they move the controller like it's a giant steering wheel or something.

Argh. Irritates me.

I find it silly, but I don't HATE it. It's really too trivial an issue for me to waste that much energy on something so random.

I've always been annoyed by this. You'd think that at least the child actors would have played a video game before, but apparently they haven't.

Not hate, just laugh. There are many cases where the controllers are not plugged in, or they're using a Playstation controller for a Nintendo game. And those cheesy goober faces they have. Most real gamers play to win, not for fun! :P

Yeah, that's pretty much my view on it. There are more important things that are actually worthy of my wrath.

Its an issue that Ive struggled with throughout my life. Ive also phoned George Bush about it. Why the hell did you think he invaded Iraq? Who cares about poverty? There are people playing Wii's with the POWER OFF! I need a coffee.

i love the fact that in most of the shows where they show that, the kid is playing a racing game... yet he is hitting buttons like it was a fighting game...
