what happened to good video games? i remember playing badass games when i was a kid. characters would not talk for hours and bore you to death. graphics and storylines enhanced gameplay instead of taking it over. these games could be beaten a billion times yet still be fun immediately after.

street fighter 2 was the king of these games. there was no political correctness anywhere to be found. on a typical day, a massive siberian wrestler would beat up a small chinese woman and then follow up by trash-talking her!


badass ken, still running his big mouth after barely beating a 7'4" muay thai champion.



prince of persia was another classic. this guy was insane. instead of staying locked up like the other prisoners, he would run around the dungeons killing guards and working his way up to the royal palace. when small obstacles like getting killed by spikes would arise, he would get up and try again - instead of staying dead like a sissy - until he killed everyone!


here we see the prince, busting out his trusty sword to fight the punkass guard who is about to die for crossing his path. the prince does not speak, does not stand around, and does not waste time - he just goes about his business. even though he only has one life left, you will never see him limping or being a pussy. the prince is a man, and he sucks it up because he knows his only chance of fooling around with the princess is to get to her in one hour, before getting cockblocked by the dirty vizier!
