    I think the only show I've seen that perfectly understands videogames is South Park. You can feel they know what they're talking about when it comes to videogames.
    The best example I can think of is RDR2, they spend a whole episode referencing it here and there, talking about specific characters and specific locations. You cab definitely tell the creators were obsessed with it.

      the funniest part is that someone thought it was remotely possible, not only are those games a huge barrier for newcomers, but even among mid and high level players a top level player is an almost unbeatable challenge. average joe might be able to hit a ball thrown by a pro baseball player or land a punch on a pro boxer if they are lucky or try hard enough but there's just no way they could beat a top level pro at a fighting game, even blind folded and with one hand

I'm used to seeing animated homages or parodies, especially of Monster Hunter, but the real ass gameplay caught me off guard.

    Now, it's not a TV show, but I think one of the best implementations of people playing a video game in a movie, would be from Reign Over Me. It's an Adam Sandler movie where his character's family passed away in the 9/11 attacks, and an old friend played by Don Cheadle tries to help him get through it. It has a scene where Sandler's character teaches Cheadle's how to play Shadow of the Colossus, and it actually had no script for some parts of it, where he was just legitimately teaching him how to play the game. Even with the plot of the game, a tale of loss, and seeing giants fall, it was chosen as the game they play for how it would serve as a reminder to the character. Legitimately one of the most insightfully done video game oriented segments of a movie.

If you've even played a little bit of Halo 3, you would know that the game has only a little bit of blood, which can easily be missed, and there's no mutilation to speak of. I didn't mind it at first, but what was really annoying was that they make like 6-7 jokes about it, but again, not a big deal. I think what annoyed me the most though, was that someone at Fox must have really have loved that episode, because they played it like ten times more than any other episode I've seen. I haven't watched a lot of Big Bang Theory, but a big reason I haven't was due to them incessantly playing that episode.

    which would be fine, except the enemy he pointed out as an example was a bloater, which is the ONLY enemy in TLoU to attack in a fucking pattern
    they literally could have had him point to ANY other enemy in the game, and it the example would have worked

    I gotta say disappointed you didn't cover the GOAT, Clarissa Explains It All. Not only did she "play" a video game every episode, every video game she "made" herself that day in order to solve a problem in her real life.

    Don't know if he mentions these two in the video, because I'm not even half way through the video yet but I have to mention them. There a Spanish drama show, I forget the name of it but they have the pause screen from an XBox game called Phantom Dust. TH-camr Nick Robinson made a video about it. And I show I love called Angel (its the spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has a seen in the 5th season where they play Crash Bandicoot! No gameplay is shown but sound effects from the game can be heard if I remember correctly. Been half a year since I saw the episode so I may be misremembering certain details but I am very certain Amy Acker's character is the one playing the game

    the weirdest thing is when characters in TV Shows / Cartoons play an original game that only exists in the universe of show and the game just looks nonsensical or doesn't seem to follow real world game design logic

    if you've never seen grandma's boy, it's a really funny movie for one, but it's about this dude developing a game called DEMONIK and the game was supposed to be real at one point
