    Oof, this is a little too intense. Could we get a version where a relatively thin red line is striking through the word “kill”?

      I got you. This is insane. We shouldn’t be subjected to this kind of violence. I’ll write to internet congress to get censorship of all internet implemented immediately.

    My favorite video game ad:

    Second favorite is the Daikatana one that claimed the game would be so good it would “make you John Romero’s bitch.” But then the opposite happened, which made that ad funny as fuck.

        It was a toy/gaming/computing place. Reminds me of “EB Games”, “Kay Bee” and “Waldenbooks” era of US Malls. It definitely existed and you know it now as Gamestop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameStop#Babbage’s_(1984–1994)
