Although, actually, I guess that fails at making sense considering that edit isn't trying to be hip or edgy. But it's been bugging me for like two weeks, so I had to comment sooner or later. >_> Anyway...
Jak 2. I know it's been mentioned before, but it can't be mentioned enough. That was my first exposure to the series and man did it sour me.
Even without knowing what Jak 1 had been, never mind after I found out later.

Won't stop picking the right nation
I don't know the correct answer, but Sonic and the Secret Rings makes me feel like I'm playing some furry's wet dream. Stop with the bad rock music, Sega.

Postal.
"OH LOOK YOU CAN PEE ON PEOPLE!!"
"OUR NAME IS RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!!"
"LOOK ITS GARRY COLEMAN, KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
"ZOMFG HOW CAN WE BE COOLER?!?!! WE ADDED SOME TYPE OF BADGER CHAINSAW MONSTER!!"
"YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY THIS GAME AT STORES, YOU HAVE TO PUT $50 IN A BROWN PAPER BAG AND HAND IT TO THE SHADY GENTLEMAN IN THE ALLEYWAY"
I was shown a Postal box once that had 4 outta 5 of these quotes on it.
Edit: You guys can goto hell, "Don't Copy That Floppy" kept me from breaking the law and stealing $25,000 of games,music,movies and books(I knew a guy that would copy books).

I got it first from 4chan, the high res version where the straps were already edited out. I didn't find out it was PS'd until I found the deviantart gallery.

That was an amazing commercial! I thought it was pretty depressing back when I first saw it.
Actually, does anyone else think it would be a cool movie if the moon really was falling and somebody had 72hrs to save the Earth? (Not by beating a video game, mind you). That is, if it turned out proper. If someone did make a movie like that, it'd probably suck the way most bad zombie movies do: poor script, camera shots suck/too shaky to know what's going on, etc.

Thought this was off-topic discussion and was expecting funny story's about peoples failed attempts at being edgy :/
@dante.jpg he fails at it so hard that he actually becomes hip and edgy.
Guess i nominate all the street racing games that appeared after the fast and the furious.

Best example is Shadow the Hedgehog. I still can't believe that game exists and I own it.
Others:
I hate what this game did to the Jak series. It took a charming, if somewhat derivative collect-a-thon platformer and turned it into an ugly GTA/platformer hybrid. Ruined the Jak series.
This one's a classic. Actually, I kind of like the original Bubsy. It's not a good game, mind you, but one I enjoy nonetheless.
I haven't actually played this (thankfully), but I read the back of the box and I literally giggled. It's such a silly paranoid fantasy that tries so desperately to be "cool".
Another one from my childhood I actually still like. It's a blatant advertisement that plays upon the culture of the '90s, but it's charming, which is more than I can say for games like Jak 2 or Mark Ecko.

joke post? if not then i think it's all about how old you were at the time. or maybe not because i was young as hell when Sonic came out (i was born in 80) but i thought they were trying too hard. it's seemed lamer than Mario because he was all 'attitude' and shit. Mario was just that dude out saving some chick in his wacky land. he didn't make me think, "IN YO FACE BOWSER!" it should also be noted that at the time i was watching violent action movies and listening to NWA and The Ghetto Boys plus starting to notice the world around me, so Sonic with his arms folded all 'tude like seemed as stupid as non-rappers rapping on a sitcom. i don't know.....i just hated the whole 'let's make him bad assed YEAH!' vibe. lol, i'm high.

Sonic wasn't really "in-your-face" at all. Most of Sonic's "edginess" came from SEGA's marketing. (The "dude with the 'tude") In the games themselves, Sonic is pretty much just another platforming hero bouncing through cartoony worlds to beat up a mad scientist and his garish war machines. Aside from tapping his foot when left idle, Sonic doesn't do anything particularly "edgy" in the games at all. That's why the classic Sonic games hold up so well; there's solid gameplay behind the 'tude.
And don't even get me started on the cartoons and how THEY failed to make Sonic seem "cool". SEGA and DiC made three and they were all really...bizarre. One was a Looney Toon with Sonic characters thrown in (the only one I actually somewhat like). The other gives Sonic a girlfriend and some shitty friends, turns Dr. Robotnik into Dr. Claw, and tries to give Sonic a Han Solo-esque relationship with his girlfriend. The third features Sonic as a prince...in a rock band with his siblings...with a magical guitar that shoots lasers...
...Yeah, I don't get it either.
Don't judge me. =( I had to try it just to see how far the Sonic series had fallen. I bought it cheap used so it's not like I gave Sonic Team any MONEY for it or anything. I don't play it, but I can't be bothered to sell it.

oh, i wasn't saying that it was strictly his idle animation that made him 'wanna be hip lame' in my view. all of what you mentioned plus the Dr. Kintobor comic bullshit plus the marketing at Sega all added up to me saying, "what the hell is up with this dude?" games were fun though.

Wasn't that faked? Still a silly game regardless.

While the quality of Sonic games may have gone down the tubes lately, SEGA is still consistent with one policy from the Genesis days: they have absolutely no interest in giving Sonic a consistent or coherent story or universe.
