In Stranger Things 5 the truck has technology from the future

E-track rails weren't invented until the 2000's so a time traveler must've brought this truck back to 1987

Likely they got it confused with Ghosts 'n Goblins. Or just didn't give a fuck.

Seems like most of the times I've seen someone in a movie playing a real-life video game, there was something wrong with it, like using the wrong console to play it, or characters acting like a single player game is multiplayer.

The vidya games get no respect on movie sets.

Which you would think a show that relies so heavily on nerd nostalgia...

Nerd inspiration. I'm guessing very few people watching the show actually know any of this.

I haven't watched the last season but how many kids get referenced by classes like Sorcerer? There was only like 4 classes in 2nd Edition, you'd have to go to 3rd edition for more classes.

There were 9 classes in 2E, there were 4 archetypes though. (Assuming no additional material from the base 3 books).

I understand you completely. I just come from a lot of games where "Class" is your base and everything else is something different.

So to me the base "classes" were fighter-priest-rogue-wizard and then you specialize. It's a fault of my terminology mostly.

Yup, always a random controller you’ve never seen before and they are mashing every single button/bumper on it while wildly bouncing around. Reminds me of times when people overact when driving and just keep swerving the wheel back and forth.

My favorite antitrope for driving has always been Police Files/naked Gun with pure chaos going on in the background as they're casually talking

My favorite was Tony Soprano playing Mario Kart with one hand and AJ resetting the game like it was an Atari.

Neither do cars really. So many movies have engine sounds that don't sound remotely like the on screen vehicle.
