Wrestler Kyle O'Reilly pulled an NES out during an AEW cage match and used the console, controllers, and even a game cartridge as weapons

He blew into the cartridge before smashing it over his opponent's head

@TobiaszTobyash @Rurikhan Yeah for real, I don’t even know how long it would take realistically to play all of the things i was interested in.

[The History of Video Games @HoVGDoc]

@SpawnWaveMedia I sure thought so. First presentation of any kind in a while where I’ve wanted to actually play so many of the games shown.

@naranciagaming I thought the Sony presentation was far more bland.

@geoffkeighley I really enjoyed the show overall. I know people had issues with the stream at times. But in general it was really cool. This is the first time in a long time I’ve watched a game show case and saw so many things I’d really like to play. Realistically it’ll take a while lol

@summergamefest @gamescom This has gotta be one of the best game reveal presentations in recent memory. The Sony one the other day was alright but this was pretty great. Thought we might get GTA.

They’re really gonna show nothing and make a bajillion dollars anyways it would seem.

@geoffkeighley No way this thing retails for less than a steam deck.

Massive price increase of steam deck kind of killed my excitement for the steam machine.

@SynthPotato @draculllina It’s just people who are out of touch or blatantly rage baiting.

@SpawnWaveMedia @Cromwelp They draw inspiration from so many other games. Woulda been nice if one of those games they drew from also inspired them to create a semi-normal control scheme.

@LarAtLarian The amount of time you put in to try and connect with the people who play and experience your titles is admirable. Baldurs Gate 3 was my first larian title. I’ve recently started revisiting your older games. The progression from back then to now is remarkable to see.
