Video Game History

Remember that infamous "Video Game Crash of 1983", like how E.T. supposedly "killed" video games? The truth is, it really wasn't a crash but a market shift. There were always arcades and it's also when the PC became cheap enough for the average consumers. The Commodore 64 was also still around at that time too.

Trivia is my favourite thing, so this is the greatest thread ever

Fruits

British sailors were called Limeys because they ate a lot of limes to prevent scurvy.

Basketball

Michael Jordan didn't make his high school basketball team

Religion

Jesus is mentioned in the Quran more often than Muhammed.

You mean Michael Jordan didn't make the varsity team when he was a sophomore. He made it the next two years and was an all-american his senior year, the rest is history.

Pigs

Male pigs can have an orgasm up to 30 minutes long because of the corkscrew shape of their penis.

Street Fighter

The boxer we all know as Balrog was originally supposed to be named M. Bison and Bison was to be named Balrog. The reason for this was Balrog was supposed to emulate Mike Tyson but fear of law suits and the fact that Tyson is a lunatic they switched up the names.

And so the M in M. Bison actually stands for Mike (or Michael) not Master.



Porn

Porn has been around as long as film itself. That's right, as soon as we discovered how to make moving pictures we wanted to see a naked lady. According to Film Facts...

the earliest pornographic motion picture which can definitely be dated is A L'Ecu d'Or ou la Bonne Auberge, made in France in 1908. The plot depicts a weary soldier who begins a sexual relationship with an inn's servant girl.

Didn't they have a video about this during EVO?

Isn't sure if there was a video about this during EVO. Neither am I.

Isnt Vega in that mix up somewhere? In the Japanese Street Fighter:

Vega = Balrog
Balrog = M.Bison
M.Bison = Vega??

 

[BlackStar]

Also it's impossible for a Chinese girl to have an ass as big as Chun Li's.

 

[Longo_2_guns]

What Mattay said is true.

Basically, US M. Bison is JP Vega. US Balrog is JP M. Bison. US Vega is JP Balrog

That's why in the tier lists and whatnot, they're called Dictator, Boxer, and Claw to avoid confusion.

And all this time, I thought Vega was an exotic dancer. Nope, he's just a Claw...

One day a black man will have a baby with an asian....and BOOM! There's yo asian ass.

On the PS2 and early PS3's, the PS symbol on the front by the disc tray is rotatable, so that it always faces up even when the console is standing.

holy shit this blew my mind. i just tried it on both my ps3/2

Yeah, the "M" means "Mike" in Japan. So a boxer named "Mike Bison" may result into lawsuits, that's why U.S. changed it.

John Wilkes Booth's brother, Edwin booth, was a famous stage actor. Prior to the assassination of Lincoln, Edwin saved Abe Lincoln's sons life (Robert) at a train station .Booth didn't know it was Lincoln's son but Robert recognized Edwin because he was so well known! NOW YOU KNOW.

Mosquitoes

A mosquito doesn't just bite. After it makes an incision into your skin, then further into your vein, two tendrils come out from its "nose". One of these sucks your blood. The other one, pumps you full of mosquito spit. And that is how you get malaria!

Humans

The brain is 80% water

Graphic!

Brown Recluse Spider Bite

Causes Necrosis. Serious pain. Probably 20 in my house right now. Likes floors, homes. Gassing them just makes them insane and more prone to bite.

Do not look at this picture unless you have a strong stomach:
