This is what we call a refuge in audacity. Now, let's count the number of people who missed that so far...Glass Joe the Champ said:
I disagree. I really enjoyed the story in pong. Especially the big plot twist where you find out
OH MAN!! That was like "Would you Kindly" x 10.
that your little bar is actually a CLONE of the other little bar.
I know! But you know what's even worse than that? Some people on the forums don't know how sarcasm works!666Chaos said:
I love the bit in that game when you find out that your character was Revan. Your memory was just wiped by the jedi. It is so good.
I think that Pong would be so much better if the re-made it for 360, PS3, and PC.
Think about it, Pong in HD!

You have to read in it. Pong is a metaphor for the afterlife. The left paddle represents the devil and the right paddle represents God. The ball? A human soul. It signifies the endless cycle of sinning and repenting going back and forth between God and Satan. Can you redeem your soul by ascending into heaven, or will you be cast into the firey pits of hell?
This isn't trolling, this is satire. God damn, that term is almost as overused as racism. Anyway, I thought it was a good job. I'm quite sick of these kinds of threads, and besides, most are about Half-Life. If those people would just use the search bar they'd get the same responses.
Pong is good on the same argument that The Beatles was good. Pong was the ONLY videogame on the planet that time. The Beatles was the ONLY rockband on the planet that time. If there had been something else, but similar, they wouldn't have made such impact on history.
I totally agree with you. The game has hardly any controls, one game mode and the graphics are terrible. A few white lines and a white square. What's the big deal? E.T was a more revolutionary game than Pong.
No, he reeeaaally isn't serious at all. This post is in the same tradition of the Spinal Tap documentary for a band that doesn't really exist. It looks dead serious, but it's clearly not.Sober Thal said:
Pong was awesome.
It gave you a multiplayer adrenaline rush. People talk about all this "twitch" skill bollocks fos the like of Counter Strike and Call of Duty but it was nothing compared to the reflex action you needed for pong.
There was nothing like the thrill of beating your friend at Pong and then mocking him on a toilet cubicle door (we had no internet) Those famous Pong insults found in toilets all over the UK. People writing "my pulsing stick whacked his balls away" in the manliest way possible.
Pong for multiplayer game of the century.
Joking aside.
There was a time I did used to love Pong. It shows you how much gaming has progressed you can even get Pong in colour now.
