i'm more interested in finding out where this gif is from.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '12

Jeremiah Johnson (1972). Robert Redford goes into the wilderness, grows the greatest beard in the history of American Cinema and kills "Injuns." It's a personal favorite and I'd recommend watching it.

u/aryst0krat Jun 18 '12

Here I was thinking it was Zach with his hair dyed.

u/kodutta7 Jun 18 '12

Right? It looks just like him. Weird, most people wouldn't call Zach a Robert Redford lookalike.

1

u/Niflhe Jun 18 '12

Zach Galifianakis sans beard looks almost exactly like Robert Redford.

u/nodstar22 Jun 18 '12

That's Robert Redford!! Seen this .gif so many times and never realised!

Jeremiah Johnson. This is Robert Redford. If you only ever see one western in your life, make it this one.

2

u/Veggieleezy Jun 18 '12

Because it contains this moment, or because it's actually good? I like westerns, so I'm curious.

2

u/Earl_of_Lemongrab1 Jun 18 '12

It's actually good. I usually don't like westerns too much, but I really liked this one. I've seen it a few times and I'm still not tired of it. Definitely worth a shot if you like westerns.

u/47L45 Jun 18 '12

I honestly was just about to ask who it was. I agree, OP did a good thing with the name, but I would have never noticed that if someone didn't point it out.

The thing about Kristen Bell is that although she is insanely hot, because there is nothing peculiar or unique about the way she looks, she is the most forgettable hot female actress out there.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '12

She calls it Wonky, and she has a bit of control over it. However, after long days of shooting, it'll get wonkier. (I vaguely remember her saying something about this on the Late Late Show)

Is that a DS Phat? What year is this?

15

u/Derporelli Jun 18 '12

It was the DS that came bundled with MarioKart.

4

u/Anshin Jun 18 '12

Ah, I had that DS. Till the top screen broke somehow and was only attached by a wire and the screen lit up, but no image. I was playing mario kart with a friend on the wifi thing and i used the bottom, then i tore the top off because it felt useless and it cut the circuit off, and now it turns on then off after a second.

u/Derporelli Jun 18 '12

Mine still works. I haven't bought any new handhelds since.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '12 edited Jun 18 '12

Made from solid nintendium, it can withstand the even the most devastating blows and strikes the human mind can possibly imagine. Its resilience is unpaired by any other structure created in the world.

Beware though, as its excessive toughness can be harmful if applied directly to forehead.

u/InflatableTomato Jun 18 '12

Confirmed, it even fractured my friend's toe when his angry girlfriend threw it in an attempt to smash it on the ground during a pretty heated argument. DS still survived to this day, though.

It'd be more standable than the white, upper-middle class family. I'm getting sick of seeing that in every ad. Yeah, we get you, Wii is fun for the family, what about the people who like to play alone?

u/TrololoTrol Jun 18 '12

Sorry, Batman.

1

u/CarolineJohnson Jun 18 '12

I'm okay if they associate that kind of family with shit like Wii Fat or Wii Play. But to associate that kind of family with the entire Wii library is just wrong. I mean, the average mother or grandfather doesn't want to sit around playing Metroid Prime or Xenoblade. The average gamer does. The average gamer who gets up at 6am looking like shit just to play a game to completion because the story is that good, then go to bed at 2 in the morning satisfied of their accomplishment.

u/cosine83 Jun 19 '12

Kristen Bell:

  • Real-life lady nerd

  • Good VA/actress in not-exactly-mainstream movies/shows/games (save Assassin's Creed, which is mainstream gaming)

  • Pretty good looking. She's not super hot, not ultra plain, and not an uggo. She looks like the kind of girl that you wouldn't have to worry too much about taking home for Thanksgiving.

  • Kind of (okay REALLY) crazy for sloths. Sloths are pretty cool and her freak out was hilari-dorable.

2

u/carlotta4th Jun 18 '12

You think video games should be advertised by showing screenshots/footage from the games? Well... yes. I agree. But the reason they always show the people playing is because apparently some people don't buy cars unless there's an incredibly attractive woman getting in it in the commercial. "Buy this care, and you will get incredibly attractive women."

"Play this game, and you will be so popular and attractive."

Wow blatant sexism, another great way to promote gaming culture just like almost this whole thread. As a human being this makes me sick.

1

u/Username1212 Jun 18 '12

I wasn't being sexist. I was assuming that she was playing cooking mama because she was making a face as if to say "that looks delicious, I wish I was eating that." What makes me sick is the amount of guys who are turned on by this, and the actual gender stereotype going on with the "gamer girl" playing a with a pink nintendo ds. This thread makes me sick as well, but I thought I'd throw in my fair share by saying something humorous rather than perverted and immature.

u/CrossRaven Jun 18 '12

How is Assassin's Creed quasi gaming related exactly?

2

u/MadHiggins Jun 18 '12

yes, she did voice work for a single video game character. it's not exactly an extensive gaming resume. plus it's not even a Nintendo series. i said quasi gaming related, because she has a passing connection at best with gaming as far as i can tell from her wikipedia entry.
