A Flash animation made by Double Helix and Super Flash Bros. Originally it was just a simple movie filled with silly jokes about the "Future of Video Gaming", and soon spanned four episodes (If you include the [[Christmas Special]]). Practically teeming with video game jokes set in the years they were created (2004-2005), the ''Decline of Video Gaming'' was a well-received Flash cartoon on [[Newgrounds]]. Most of them end with a rant about "Some Video Games Are So Bad", and really likes to harp on the nonsensicals in video games.
''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/158631 Decline of Video Gaming]'', the first episode, was set in the distant future of 2059 AD, where most video game series have been simplified and/or have started to feel more realistic. The characters introduced in this one were Dim, a long-haired guy who complained about video games; Dan, a jacket-wearing brunet guy who complained about video games, and JT, a scruffy-haired guy in a black shirt who complained about video games. Needless to say, they complained about video games. It was the most simple of the series, because it was less plot-related, and more just made to harp on video games.
''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/191110 Decline of Video Gaming 2]'' had more plot than the first. The three characters, Dim, Dan and JT, are invited to [[E3|e3]] ([[Parody Names|Electronically Exaggerated Entertainment Show]]), so that the three evil game developers, [[Konami]], [[Capcom]] and [[Square Enix
''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/209256 A Decline Christmas]'' was a [[Christmas Special|Christmas special]], with nicer animation and more holiday jokes. It had no real plot, much like ''Decline of Video Gaming''.
''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/253824 Decline of Video Gaming 3]'' was the final "episode" in the series, and featured the cast going to [[Japan]] to visit an arcade. Eventually they were kidnapped and brought to an odd Japanese game show, to compete against a few minor characters from the second episode. It had more video game jokes and references, and the expected rant at the end of the game. You might recognize a lot of the characters, such as [[Hideo Kojima]] and [[Ken Kutagari]]. This ended the series, much to the dismay of the many fans of the groups.
