==Video game industry satire== ''Consolevania'' often satirizes major industry figures and companies, both with impersonating caricatures (such as [[Lionhead Studios]] developer [[Peter Molyneux]]) and the manipulation of press conference videos for humor ([[Reggie Fils-Aimé]] of [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] and [[Sony]]'s [[Ken Kutaragi]], among many others). [[Microsoft]]'s [[J Allard]] is also frequently satirized. In a QuizVania segment in Episode 2.3, Allard is listed 2nd in the list of "10 Things that are an Embarrassment to the Games Industry". During this suggestion, the message "Act your fucking age" is flashed on screen. In Episode 2.1, Consolevania presented a video game proposal to [[Rockstar Games]] for a "next-generation" title, ''Manpuncher vs. Boxhead''. This consisted of a video short resembling a '70s police drama starring a gruff anti-authority figure who punches children and fights villains who all conveniently use the same 3D model to cut production costs. Rockstar politely rejected the proposal. In recent episodes, the ''Consolevania'' team have issued taunting challenges for a street fight to [[Codemasters]] and [[Rare (company)|Rare]]. On 13 September 2007, Consolevania made a major splash with an incisive satirical parody of a Halo 3 promotional advertisement. <!-- <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEWIw-a0GJw {{Bare URL inline|date=May 2022}}</ref>--> The parody addressed an under-discussed issue with Xbox Live online gaming—the bad behaviour of a large proportion of the subscribers.
