We see the little girl play games on a 3DS in it. We're now in 2018 and we barely see anyone still do that. I thought everything is supposed to be taken place many decades in to the future?
Oh and the plot twist was extremely obvious.
I have no idea, but to me the plot twist was amazing and a complete surprise. Talk about "cruel and unusual punishment"! Yikes! This may be my favorite episode.

Really? It was so obvious it was staged. I thought to myself all the time that the people with phones were sort of an audience , and everyone she interacts with were actors, and she's there as some sort of punishment. Look at the way we see the kiosk guy die from the shotgun guy. That looked like it belong to some Shakespeareian esque theatre play from 100+ years ago, not an high production 2013 tv-show... The way she's just about to get shot by the gunman, before he has to take the phone, where he doesn't even bother to watch the two so that the other girl conveniently escapes and can come back to "kill" him and continue the show. That was the point where I was convinced this was a play.

Well Eric, you were much quicker to figure that out then I. My hat is off to you.

Well. People still play old Atari and NES games on the original hardware.

They do? Who are these people?
😎
People who likes good video games and aren't obsessed with them having to be the newest and best looking. Missile Command is still a great play for example.

Just messin' with you, Daht.

Hard to tell in text. :)

It is sometimes, isn't it? The "Who are these people?" was also a Seinfeld reference.
😎
Now that you say it, it rings a bell. Never was much of a Seinfeld fan. It was something I watched because it was the 90's and Sweden didn't have too many TV channels back then.

I was never a fan of the show either, but that is from one of his stand-up routines.
Sweden eh? That's one of the things I find most fascinating about this site, conversing with people from other countries. I'm an American. I did a DNA Test with Ancestry.com, and discovered that the largest %
of my DNA is from Scandinavia. This surprised me somewhat.

Yeah, hardcore gamers like myself (and I assume you too?). Not some little girl. They would be obsessed with the new thing. Not the thing which was somewhat new at the time the episode was made.
shareI would never call myself a hardcore gamer. Maybe it was a hand-me-down or something. Far from all kids are obsessed with having the latest gadgets.
