The Simpsons was really weird about vidya references up until like, the late 90s. I remember an episode Bart goes down to the local arcade to play Space Invaders clone. In 1995. As if he wouldn't be at home playing Final Doom on his PlayStation. You could tell the writers were boomers because their view of vidya was firmly stuck in 1977. To answer your question. the John Wick series has a couple of references to vidya. The two I know of are Payday 2 Easter Egg in JW2 and an entire scene inspired by Hotline Miami in JW4 sorry for the music I didn't add it

Nothing will catch you more off guard than this.

>>1440451 good stuff

>>1440451 Anyone remember what the Kill or Be Slaughtered mask is called? I actually have one because it was cheap (and it's too small to wear) but can't remember what on earth it was called. It's some off the shelf thing.

The show White Collar directly referenced RuneScape in one of its episodes. I've never watched that show, but I just saw a video on the reference. Apparently someone in Ready Player One also used an Armadyl Godsword spec during the giant fight scene at the end, but I scrubbed that scene and couldn't find it. I've been trying to compile all the references to RuneScape in other media that I can but apparently they're mostly in English broadcasts that I've never heard of before.

>>1440451 wew lad

>>1440451 why are gaymers like this

>>1440464 Didn't know about the Payday reference, It's cool that the poster specifically shows Chains considering he and John are old friends in the Payday universe

>>1440434 Already posted elsewhere on 8chan, but please, go watch Hundreds of Beavers. It's not referencing a specific videogame, more like usual stuff that you'd see in vidya without ever referencing one. Probably the only one that is unequivocally referenced is Ocarina of Time. Gumball also has occasional vidya references, but one episode in particular is about the blue cat trying to impress a Space Invaders alien into letting him meet his uncle Mario and later Sonic as the punchline to the episode. Other than that, I recently watched One Hour Photo (fantastic Williams and cinematography but absolutely mid movie) and the kid in the movie was playing Tekken. >>1440464 >You could tell the writers were boomers because their view of vidya was firmly stuck in 1977. To be honest the Simpsons upgraded their vidya reference over and over throughout the years. I think they even made fun of Minecraft youtubers at some point.

The two main characters bonding over Shadow of the Colossus is a minor plot point in Reign Over Me. There's a subtextual aspect to the Charlie playing that specific game considering what's happened in his own life.

Here’s a reference from Robot Jones >Dot-Man <also didn’t one of his friends want to fuck pac-man and wear a pac-man shirt 24/7

>>1443199 >2 players playing FF8 >hammering buttons

>>1443541 Sometimes that's the sound engineer's fault. They want people to know a game is being played, so they fill the soundscape with clickity clack.

>>1443707 They're visually doing it.

>>1443541 >he never got the high score in Final Fantasy 8 2 player mode by mashing all the buttons with his bro during the Ultimecia fight Are you even a real gamer?

>>1443199 There was a show called "The Middle". One of the characters was called Kenny who only ever had his back to the camera and use to play PC games. I think I saw Starcraft 2 and Sins of a Solar Empire on occasion.

>>1440464 >Payday 2 Easter Egg in JW2 There is also a Payday 2 poster in Hardcore Henry, in the stoner's room.

>>1445083 And one of the Hardcore Henry characters (the coke addict) is a playable character in Payday 2. Man did Overkill ever fuck up the Payday franchise, (and this is going way before Payday 3)
