Pat the NES Punk – Nintendo Power Tips Tape

Posted by Pat the NES Punk on Thursday, August 25, 2011 · 28 Comments

Pat finally gets a new version of a rare Nintendo Power tape that he lost in his move after lots of searching and research. Time to see what was on this mysterious tape!

Considering some people are born with missing body parts and other people will never have the money to own a video game system, maybe the outrage over the unfairness of the wrong code is a little overstated.

Pat

You realize it’s an act, right?

Garbageface

I realize that, but if you make your character unsympathetic (he spent this entire episode alternating between bragging about his mammoth expensive collection and whining about two small items he had trouble obtaining, so he comes off as totally self-absorbed, materialistic, and whiny) it doesn’t help draw people into the show. At least for me.

Wahhhh. Stop whining.

Garbageface, you realize that a certain person (hint: Pat and Frank were watching him on the laptop at the beginning of this video!) has made a 7-8 year career out of getting exaggeratedly angry about silly idiosyncrasies in old video games that *gasp!* no one forces him to play, purely for comic effect to entertain people, right?

You realize that certain comedians have made a decades long career out of comic exaggeration, right? I mean, I am pretty sure that Rodney Dangerfield got more respect than he let on and Jerry Seinfeld wasn’t quite as incredulous about “what the deal” was with airline peanuts and he may have implied.

…

…aw, heck, maybe you ARE right, Garbageface. How blinded by logic and reason I’ve been! Pat, I hereby refuse to watch a single thing you make from here on until you start dedicating at least half of each video to the plight of quadriplegic amputee AIDS patients that suffer from premature ejaculation in 3rd world countries, you materialistic JERK!

Alternatively, I present the Garbageface guide to trolling.

GFace: “HEH IM GONNA TROLL SOME NUBS ON RETROWARE”
GFace: “Pat you jerk how dare you try to be funny there are PEOPLE without ARMS, LEGS or XBOX’S out there!!!!”
Everyone: “LOL what”
GFace: “Heh u mad bro?”
Everyone: “Uh no you’re kind of a retard though”
GFace: “LOL TROLLED MOTHERFUCK*R”

That’s funny. I’m an NES collector as well, and I can tell you that most of Pat’s collection was probably bought for around 5 bucks per game. And I’ve rarely seen an NES for more then $50, but you can usually find one at a yard sale for $10 and under. Needless to say, those who you think he’s offending by showing off his hard work, probably can’t afford internet anyway, so there’s no problem.

And if your getting preachy about such a low percentile of people out there whom you think MiGHT be offended by said video, then you would probably be happier if there wasn’t an internet at all.

The RetrowareTV community deserves better then this, and I think Pat is doing a great job. Just glad he’s smart enough not to let trolls like this guy get him down.

Good job Pat, can’t wait for the next one.

Wow, that final code is an epic fail on Nintendo’s behalf!
And wow, you gotta love that cheezy music.

HAHAHA! I do love the Pat-Frank relationship. And the “cereal that tasted like Flintstones chewable vitamins in milk” brilliant

ROB is always awesome. Maybe next episode we’ll see a return of original Donkey Kong, too. Nice job Pat.
MrHalfawake

the Konami code is famous NOW genius this is back in 1980 whatever. There was no uniform way of saying it then most people didn’t even know it existed, getting bent out of shape NOW over something as pointless as that is stupid they didn’t screw it up you’re whining over semantics.

Pat

Next you’re going to tell me that my plastic robot doesn’t really talk to me too.

Fishtalkcomics

you mean he doesnt??? everything i know is a lie! D:

Well, it is a show – and Pat is still a character. It is funny to hear the non-uniform way of saying the code.

The guy wore glasses but not a white shirt? Are we finally getting a Derek cross over? Also it’s good to hear you say Fluffernutter again
