remember how excited you were to hear that there’d be a game show about video games on nickelodeon, your favorite network?

and when you watched the first episode, remember how excited you were when the host told you the winner would be put into a video game?

and remember how fucking lame everything was, and how the video game was just a shitty greenscreen, and how much lamer that game show was than, hey dude, which even 9 year olds knew was a just a fucking cowboy saved by the bell.

i know i’m not alone on this. nick arcade could have been the culmination of all our video game dreams. instead, it was a boring, uninspired piece of crap that i’d regularly skip to watch old M*A*S*H reruns. nick arcade: consider yourself served.
