Despite or maybe because he is very visibly trying not to burst out laughing.

I remember that so well. The writing and acting and everything was so cheesy, but what I remember most was it felt like computer gaming had almost gone mainstream. It HAS now, but that was still in the days when movies made fun of nerds and game culture wasn't a thing.

I grew up in a time (late 80s) when computer people were weird and not understood.

Seeing Tim Curry and others in the cutscenes was so surreal.

    Love your overall point but this was RA3 right? PC gaming was definitely mainstream by then. If you meant RA1/2 era, 100%

    Maybe people just didn't think I was cool. heh. I don't know when it went mainstream, but it probably helped being younger than I was as I'd expect kids growing up with that to have more friends into it, whereas I was born in 1975 and didn't get my first computer until 1987, and back then, I didn't know anyone else who had one.

    I did have a couple of friends with consoles, so it was maybe starting to take off mostly with kids. heh
