Talk:Epic Rap Battles of History 59/@comment-27158121-20160308224540/@comment-5264252-20160309104656

How are neither Peter nor Lloyd experienced in the field of video games? They play video games frequently. They've been shown playing video games in the BTS a number of times. Lloyd has made references to classic video games in his Dis Raps series. They were the first guests on Smosh Games' Button Bash and went into talking about classic video games. Some months ago, Peter even said in chat that he'd bought and played Super Smash Bros 4. And that's not even counting that they've not only used video game characters in ERB but also made references to video games outside of those battles, such as GTA in White vs Grimes. I'm fairly certain they're perfectly fine in the field of video games. And Cloud has a much simpler hair style than Goku does that would translate perfectly fine into a live action portrayal.

They never said what the format was exactly, just that it would be focused around video games and that it was something they were considering.

Cloud Strife and the name Final Fantasy are easily up there as the most recognizable as well. Final Fantasy is one of the best selling franchises in history, easily beating out the both Tomb Raider and Pac-Man in sales. Video games as a whole spark lots and lots of controversy, Final Fantasy included. Grand Theft Auto's fame is based on the controversy it gets. Fuck, earlier, I was watching a video about Animal Crossing of all games getting controversy over it by parents. Sonic the Hedgehog has a protein named after it as well, as does Dr. Robotnik. When can we expect Sonic in a battle? And it doesn't really help your case when you say it "sparked the handheld video game era and pushed it as something social and communicative", only to immediately after say "actually Tetris and Mario did it first lol whoops".
