Ozzy and Sharon - Image 1


If you can work your way through all the swearing and the accent, you might be able to figure this one out. Rock icon Ozzy Osborne had a favorite game, too. He told Kotaku all about it, and judging by all that swearing, he must've really loved that one. Problem was, nobody could quite nail the guessing game. Can you? Oh, and be advised, there's always some plentiful swearing in an Ozzy interview.

It was after the BlizzCon, when Kotaku managed to get a few words from the man himself:

The only one I ever played is that f***ing (unintelligible) I got addicted to that instantly years ago was that f***ing video game where the f***ing guy jumps off the f***ing cliff. Sort of this old (well, or whale?). I was playing all f***ing night.


Okay, so no one really quite got what the f***ing game was. Guys at Kotaku had a few guesses, but no one was quite sure. He was, thankfully, clearer about what Sharon played. "Tetris - my wife got addicted to it. I remember lying in bed and saying, "Sh*t. Are you playing that f***ing game?" And she'd say, "No." And then I'd hear "B*st*rd! F***ing ***hole!" And then the exploded one (exploding sound effect) in her f***ing hands!"

Ideas, anyone?



This guy f***ing loved Killzone

it was obviously Tha Cliff, which is more of an animation than a game but it still kicks ass.

smiley face for sarcasm, the game could be anything though, it might not even have been a game, he probably just imagined it, i found a link about him talking about games on youtube here:

James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing... the cliff jumping stage in this game had to be one of the best moments in video game history.

» Cliff Hanger

I'm almost betting it's an older game. I remember playing an old Commodore 64 game called Cliff Hanger.. Basically a stuntman having to complete multiple scenes from a movie. In some scenes, if you didn't complete it, you might end up jumping off a cliff, shooting yourself in the head, or pounding yourself into the ground. Violent game now that i think about... Not really. It was quite addicting for my friends and I.

Guess we cant edit out replies.. I noticed "poopoopilot" mentions Lemmings above and that's another good possibility. Lots of cliff jumpers in that one.

"where the f***ing guy jumps off the f***ing cliff. Sort of this old (well, or whale?)"



The only game i can think of where jumping off something was memorable, and millions of people got addicted to... would be

Goldeneye for the N64. :/ thoughts?



(and he said, cliff/well/whale? well.. it was a dam.. and a bloody big one, dams and wells have water in common, so perhaps he meant dam? )

» Well Whale Whatever.fu.k.ing.

ok i don't know about the game that psycho played but i DO KNOW THIS, this is the PROOF that i WAS RIGHT telling everybody that games nowadays are fuc.k.in.g CRAP when it's more FUN trying to guess what a guy that knows sh.it bout games, played years ago than playing games itself, so i TOLD YOU games this days are SO fu.k.in.g boring and all of 'em are twos or threes, like ozzy's would say fu.k companies, fu.king. greedy bastards.
