Someone forwarded this article around at work today. It is the funniest shit ever, no joke. They had a bunch of kids play old videogames and comment on them. Hilarity ensued.

EDIT> Dude, I don't care if it's old or stale or not true. The point is that it's fucking funny.

Yeah, that was posted on fark this morning. As they would say: "I call shenanigans." -- There's just no way those kids said those things.

Dude, I could totally see kids saying those things (ESPECIALLY the "Oh, that's how they got the idea for Super Smash Bros"). Heck, I can totally see adults saying those things.

Here, I'll give you my favorite example of "People will say the craziest shit while playing video games":

The second nominee is Mario when he is riding in the ultimate weapon-- Kuribo's Shoe. This is a giant green boot with a wind-up key that is the coolest thing that has ever been. One night under heavy doses of narcotics, I was playing Super Mario Brothers 3 and one of my friends thought it would be funny to record what I was saying so I could hear myself later when I was coherent. Here is a transcription of the things I said:

"Oh shit! I got the shoe! I'm so invincible! Oh! Eat it, you bitch! You don't understand! I got the damn SHOE! It's the shoe! And look at how cute I am with my stupid plumber head poking out of the wind up sock! I am the cutest invincible shoe rider ever! Mario! Mario! He's in the ULTRA green SHOOEEE!"
This went on for about 10 more minutes as I kept bouncing back and forth on the level screaming nonsense about the damn shoe until the time ran out. We sent a copy to my mom. I heard she cried.

>"I call shenanigans."

Was in south park (season 3-4?) so I can semi-believe that.

Still, I don't think the response to Et would have been that biting, unless they saw G4's special on it.
