8. Pocket Racers
2006 | PSP

It's a problem faced by many modern teens: you're partying at a mansion with some friends, getting mad crunk and waving your arms stiffly to some generic techno. Suddenly, an evil wizard shows up and turns you and everyone around you into tiny cars. He does this because he wants to steal your actual cars, which are parked out on the lawn, and slowly load them onto his big rig using a magical tractor beam. He will also force you to watch this in its entirety.

Such is the intro to Pocket Racers, which looks like it was made using The Sims 2, is dialogue-free and sets up a largely plotless game about racing tiny cars around indoor tracks. Yeah, we don't get it either.

Hell yeah, I did it! I sat through Ikari. I felt the strong need to bathe and cut my own teeth afterwards, but i did it!

I sat through it! It was annoying and ten times too long, but I did it. Actually, that's kind of sad...

I tore some of my hair out in anger at the faces of evil one, and then completely ripped out the rest after seeing the last one.

In the pocket racers one, you didnt seem to notice that the wizard apparently stole a baby at the end.

I sat through the last video. Side effects of watching ever video in this article include bleeding eyes and ears.

I expectantly made it through the SNES ikari warriors II intro. Patience is my greatest virtue which really sucks cuz I have to wait on a lot of people, I'm a cashier.
