Funny, I always thought it was 'Not Safe Fore - Warning'.
That would work too.
Or, you could just put a picture of:
1035
or just put AVGN, which really says it all.
I know I really like the nerd a lot but that's because I was actually living his pain back in the NES days.
NO Nintendo Power - not where I lived at the time
NO internet
NO help with the games at all except if you knew someone who played it before you, and then half of the time the secret to beating a game sounded so ridiculous that it made you wonder if the person giving the advice was trying to make you look silly so they could laugh at you!
like in
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/713/) ยป Nintendo (http://retrouprising.com/game-menu/nintendo/)
http://www.vgmuseum.com/scans/nes/c2sqf.jpg
where you have to have the red crystal and kneel down beside the cliff for 5 seconds, and then a small tornado comes and takes you to the next part of the game.
Well, no one in town knew that at the time.
I rented that game so much (that I could have bought it instead) in order to figure that out..

Nsfw = Not safe for work
Imo = In my opinion
But what does Idk mean?
I ask and ask but everyone says "I don't know".
People use Idk but know one that I ask seems to know what it means.

Hey OldTimer, I think the real question here is:
WHO'S ON FIRST?
1037
A truly classic example of what I like to call
'the problem with English' - take for example the word right.
I seriously wonder how many accidents, arguements, and other unnecessary situations have been caused by that word alone.
Kind of makes you wonder if it wasn't cooked up by insurance companies.
>:D
But not that I'm politically right about right, right?

Are you joking?

I still can't stand AVGN or his buddy Irate Gamer. They're both clowns mascarading as reviewers. Nothing but drivel.
Pat the NES Punk is cool though.

It does but you're missing the joke. Check Kongs link and listen to the routine about "Who's on first" and you'll understand.

You need to watch way more of them so they'll grow on you.
Actually, the Irate Gamer has never been associated with James Rolfe or Cinemassacre.
Perhaps you were thinking of The Nostalgia Critic?
At any rate it clearly isn't your cup of tea:
clowns mascarading as reviewers.
AVGN is a comedy routine, as are The Nostalgia Critic and Your Nostalgia Chick.
Pat the NES Punk is cool though.
Where is he from?
Sounds interesting.

I understand AVGN is purely comedic (supposedly). The problem lies with other morons who don't.

Yeah, I can see how that could be a bit bothersome.
He has done an excellent job of researching the history of the games he reviews, talks about rare games and unusual consoles,
1038NES Famicom - click for larger pic
and generally shares a lot of little known gaming facts which no doubt have generated a lot of interest in retro gaming, but I don't agree with using his zany reviews as a serious guideline for actual gaming or as leverage in an argument.
Like I said earlier, I can relate to him on a personal level in terms of his NES experience and foul language while gaming so that's why I refer to him so much.
In general, I use critic reviews of games and movies like a menu, just to see what's available.
Most of the time I disagree with their opinion.

Sounds interesting.My friend loves Nostalgia Critic.
I watch AVGN, but I never liked Chris Bore or whomever.

@JG- what's that picture from it seems so familiar. I thought it was Tim and Eric at first but now I realize it's not them. It's been bugging me.
