Fallon v. Bond

Late Night personality Jimmy Fallon forces actor Pierce Brosnan to play the N64 classic Goldeneye 007. Long story short, Jimmy takes the match, but not before Brosnan ineffectually chops at the air. Points should still be awarded to the actor since no one is a cooler loser than a former Bond.

I think a modern day reboot of Beetle Adventure Racing is the most vehemently requested game next to a remake of Final Fantasy VII…What the hell do you mean that’s the first time you’ve heard that?

With increased resolution, touched up textures, exclusive files tying this installment to past and future releases, remastered music, and a budget of $1 million dollars, this N64 port of Resident Evil 2 is considered one of the best versions of the game released.  Housing more than 500 MB of data, RE2 is also one of heaviest N64 cartridges ever made.

And I fucking traded it in when I was twelve like an asshole.

I can’t even place myself in my own shoes back then, on that darkest of days.  What was my rationale?  “This is my favoritest game of all time…but it’s worth a whole four dollars.  What’re the chances I’ll want this ten years from now?  Who knows of any alternative way of gaining four whopping bucks besides selling my favorite fucking game?"  I wish I could Kyle Reese my way a decade back and scream into my past self’s stupid, pubescent face.

Resident Evil Zero when it was slated for the N64.  I don’t give a flying shit a graphically superior version released, I want to play this one into the ground.
