Jimmy Fallon is a tool and has been since SNL, and just think sometime in the future hell be stepping into the spot Johnny Carson made famous.
I realize its an expensive-ish statue... but like... whatever, it's just Link. I mean it could've been worse.
“You’re clearly a natural swordsman.”
Jimmy then proceeds to shake his arm like it was possessed by a spasm ghost.

Reggie and Jimmy are turds, this is nothing but empty publicity.

when does this hack ever deserve anything, everything i ever see him does, i admit not a lot, i wanna swear at the top of my lung. that was years ago. the only other thing i even wanna do something like that is when i recently saw that close up of the elf in tmobile christmas commercial, which nearly made me almost dropkick my tv on impulse 2 out of 2 times.
i hate ned holness the most but that hack doesnt cause me to do anything on impulse.

"Do people here legitimately think that "putting video games on tv" is doing anything positive for gaming?"
Debatable. What CoD sells? I literally know people who only play CoD, gaming is bigger than ever, but I could almost switch that to CoD is bigger than ever, putting games such as zelda on tv doesn't do much to gaming but give publicity for gaming, but how publicity is a bad thing is beyond me, oh wait unless were playing the hipster card.
"Furthermore, why do any of you think gaming needs ant kind of publicity. It's seriously encroaching on Hollywood's numbers"
Once again, CoD is, and maybe a few other shooters and nintendo games, and those are a small fraction of gaming in general.
Overall there's nothing wrong with things like this, you shove something down viewers throats and sooner or later that "boundary" will slowly vanish, and in this case, gaming, because believe it or not, gaming in general isn't to healthy, just a small fraction of it which encompass shooters, a few wrpgs, and nintendo franchises. and it's still a hobby that is considered "geeky". Gaming still has a long way to go, any "publicity" isn't bad.

Also by no means am I trying to say the I want gaming to be "accepted", I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with things like this.
Conan has done plenty of videogame stuff, and its better than Jimmy Fallon pretending to not know how to play a videogame.
You say that gaming its considered geeky... So do you really think this socially awkward man making a fool of himself will do anything to change that? His actions "appeal" only to the crowd that would already be called geeky, and those who would make that accusation would only see this as a geeky person further making anything gaming related look even more moronic than it is.
TV time isn't going to change that perception as long as it's still being handled in a bombastic manner. That will only further any cultural divide you're calling the problem. Unless it's treated as normally as anything you'd see elsewhere, it will remain segmented... And this guy is doing nothing of that sort.
I truly don't care about what kind of fool he makes of himself. What bothers me is this unreasonable defense people think he deserves just because of "videogames!" His actions don't make anything more culturally accepting.

Fallon regularly features video games, which is why I believe what he's doing isn't wrong; Fallon features video games on show, it becomes a normal thing, in time people won't be like "hey there talking about video games on tv, wow that's rare", and instead just become a norm to people, in other words, video games won't be something so out there. I don't care how gaming is looked upon, it's my favorite hobby, but I'm just trying to rationalize things in the manner that I see no wrong with this.

I saw that, but I don't necessarily agree with out. I believe that if people become desensitized to the topic by videos like this, being adored and oodled over by someone so socially awkward, it won't have any beneficial effects outside of the living room where it's playing. It's already featured all over television in a similarly divisive manner. There are shows in the dozens that portray any smart lab tech as being the abnormal, probably goth, peculiar gamer. Combined with this giant man-child filling the air waves, it'll make videogames seem normal on tv, but it won't do anything to end the perception of those who participate in them as being geeky. They'll just be viewed like the common weirdos on tv.
I dunno, Jimmy Fallon does a lot to bring videogame stuff into the mainstream. I don't hold it against him that he gets the statue.
