Aww damn, I definitely thought it was real and in some video game magazine
I find this funny, since I used to hide drugs like mushrooms inside consoles. I figured it was the one place literally no one would think to look. Just unscrewed them, put a baggie inside in one of those empty spaces (there's always a spot), and put the case back together.
Rockstar used to go pretty hard.
It’s likely they were trying to get the news riled up so they could cause a moral outrage that would attract attention to the game.
All right I'll ask the dumb question here, what am I looking at? From what I can tell they are tiny empty bags
Those type of bags are usually used to hold illicit substances, and typically only bought by small-time drug dealers.
And board game players!
board game baggies usually have a tiny hole in them, to let the air out when you're packing the game away. not so great if you're muleing some molly to your weekly game of Wingspan
awww youve never bought street powders thats nice
The Bags that spare buttons come in, or how I used to get all my drugs.
This game, appropriately, is where I learned there was such a thing as uppers and downers.

These were made for the UK market to promote the PSP.
If ads were interesting and creative, I might have turned off my adblockers to watch them.
PS2 is retro now? Damn, getting old really does sneak up on you.
I found my Green game boy Pocket and saw the 1989-1996 copyright.
It looks so pristine. 😭😭😭
Ps3 is starting to be referenced as retro now....
When ‘next gen’ (eg. PS5) becomes the new ‘current gen’, then the old ‘last gen’ becomes retro.

That's a lot of ecstasy.
It's gonna be a fun night followed by a hard, sleepy day
Looks more like a few hours of cramping body and soul followed by 3 days of emotional hangover
Ehhhhh so this was in 2000. Your standard ecstasy pill (we’re assuming they’re not pipers; these don’t look shiny and they’re not shaped or outpressed) have between 70mg MDMA and 120mg (if they’re absolute fire.)
This would be about 400mg of MDMA total. While that is quite a lot, you’re not going to have a horrible time—I just wouldn’t do it in public because you WILL be a chattering mess. It’ll still feel amazing, though.
Source: oldhead, last time I rolled it was a total of about 450mg but spread out over hours and I was absolutely not in public, just writing naked with my partner)
I was gonna add "these days" but didn't
Oh GOD I fully agree in that case. Rolls nowadays have up to 300-400mg in a single pill (sounds like you already know that, but I’m just saying this for context in case another reader doesn’t)
That’d be like eating a gram or more of Molly at once, and THAT is for sure not safe and not a good time.

She gonna need some water
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe ecstacy is actually dehydrating. Dancing at a rave for hours on end without drinking anything is though.

Can someone make a version of this photo, but its acetaminophen and the girl is just up-aged to how old she'd be now?
thyroid medication
Everything reminds me of her..
I feel like it means: we are not like Nintendo, we make video games for adults (and children who want to play like adults).

90s SEGA was the OG of this, we need 90s SEGA back
SEGA!!!
I miss that era. Companies didn’t mind a bit of edginess and weren’t afraid to market to adults. The console culture itself also isn’t what it used to be.
These days, gaming consoles all need to be safe enough for five year olds to play on them. And it’s caused everything to be just too bland and safe, both in marketing and the console itself. Can’t really have things like Xbox 360 Uno with the live camera feed and no moderation. Or the wholly uncensored COD lobbies.
