Wow... 118 kg at birth and the mother kicked those kg around like they were a ragdoll. I do not wan't to stand in the way of an elephant who is pissed off. =P

That was amazing though, beautiful.

This reminds me of the ragdoll effects in video games.

I can't say I really feel sorry for this guy. Even though he got so completey fucked up, gored under the rib cage and then Ragdolled like a little bitch. Poor career choice. I'm glad he didn't win...I wish he wouldnt have played. Torturing animals shouldn't be a game.

So the plot is kind of a mix between Terminator, The Matrix and Frankenstein, only with ragdolls? AWESOME!

This video is only half the story. According to another version I heard, the "good samaritan" was likely intoxicated, and dragged the victim "like a ragdoll" from a car that was not on fire. Furthermore the victim was place just outside of the car, not out of range of a potential fire.

Yes, in extreme circumstances where somebody is in danger of imminent death, the good samaritan should be protected from liability of minor wounds. However in this case, they had no clue what they were doing, and as such should not have gotten involved.

As I was taught as a child, saying "I thought I was helping" is not a defense against the damage you do by failing to think things through.

(LA Times Article)

He wasn't moving out of his own volition, the camera was controlling him like a ragdoll.

1. One
2. His name is Yoshi. He was named after Super Mario's pal.
3. Bought him from a Ragdoll breeder in Temecula, CA.
4. 5 human years old. (How long is a cat year?)
5. You can see some old pictures of him here with his little brother Kiko.
6. He has no interest in cat toys purchased from the store. He loves chasing crumpled up pieces of paper (like post-it notes) around. He hates soft, furry things and loves laying on cold, hard things like plastic and cardboard boxes.
7. Cats are very clean (especially where it matters most) and can be left alone, but if raised properly you can still feel like they really dig you as their daddy or mommy.
8. None. Yoshi's not on here.

I did respond civilly rottenseed, I think if you re read Spoco2's posts and my answers to them you'll see I kept my cool for as long as possible. I don't think MarineGunrock ever attacked me, and I certainly didn't attack him.

It seems now that I'm here to defend myself that people have less to say about it. The video was made in fun, by my 17 year old and myself as we were astounded by how well he was playing against guys my oldest usually plays against. It was one of those "Let me try! Let me try!" we got out of his way and let him.

People see this, and the other vid I made when he was younger and think This is all he does, Which isn't so. He occasionally plays these games, but when he does, he's good at them. *That's* the joke of the vids we're trying to convey. Our shock at how good he is at mastering the key commands. Crouch, jump, strafe, and weapon switches, he learned it all by watching, Before he could even read. And could pull it off with his tiny hands and short fingers.

I dunno. the images of ragdolls being blown across the sky dont seem gory to me. There are flashes of simulated blood, but on my system, it's hard to tell. It's not like other games where if you shoot someone they're covered in blood, and lose and arm or leg. Like FEAR or something. Those games are harmful because of the atmosphere, the sounds and music are huge contributing factors that create an air of fear and horror.

For the record, we dont have any vice city games in my house. Attacking police, robbing people, and picking up hookers isn't something I'll let my kids partake in, even if it is just a game.

LOTS of nitpicking, and although I almost always agree with Yahtzee, I'd have to disagree with quite a few of his points.

He's right about the turning, but only because it's a rough transition after so many years of GTA car-turning being so loose and arcadey. This is more realistic, but also a bit stiff. Which leads me to my next point.

I think Yahtzee should rethink his point about games trying to become too realistic over arcade-style. All of the GTA3 games had very arcade-like reactions and physics to it. Take for example, the headshot, making the head disappear, and in it's place a stream of blood shooting straight upwards for several feet from the neck, before the body just falls over. Now, that's funny at first, but after so much of that, it got a bit too cartoony, and I was hoping for a more 'realistic' reaction. Now look at GTA4's physics. They're jaw-dropping. When you hit somebody with a car, they act so accordingly, thanks to the Euphoria physics engine (basically a much smarter, and more natural ragdoll type of physics). I mean, hell, the cars had Euphoria as well. When you hit another car hard enough, the driver dies from the impact, and his face plants into the steering wheel, leaving the car horn blaring continuously. Little details like that also make it really cool. Is Yahtzee honestly saying he'd rather a cartoon reaction over something so impressive as the Euphoria physics?

And the coloring of the city was not brown and grey. Only during cloudy/rainy/foggy days were they greyish/blue, and some point of the day was the city brown. Other than that, I was absolutely AMAZED with how pretty the daytime was. Noon-time actually looked like noon, with a natural looking sun beating down on the sidewalk and cars, etc. Dawn looks like dawn, and so forth.

All in all, he seemed to have liked it. I was a skeptic of GTA4 before I got it, and I honestly was THAT impressed with it, that I'll argue in it's defense against one of my all-time favorite reviewers. Different strokes for different folks, but I think sometimes people should take a step back from their nit-picking, and appreciate what I'd like to consider real quality. I mean, people love ripping on bad games, and rightly so. But I think we as gamers have become somewhat spoiled in the sense that we feel we should rip apart absolutely everything. I'm not directing this towards Yahtzee specifically, but sometimes it just seems that people will have a problem with something just for the sake of having something to complain about to the point of missing the entire point of healthy criticism. This game wasn't perfect, but it's obvious that instead of putting out much of the same, they came together and made something if good quality, and I think people should at least acknowledge that. Whew, sorry about that.

But he's absolutely r ight about one thing. What the hell was Rockstar thinking when they made trees the only thing in the whole game completely indestructible? You can run through newspaper stands. You can bulldoze straight through trash-cans, leaving trash littered in it's path, etc etc etc....and then smash straight into a tree without it budging an inch. The effect of flying through your windshield is really awesome though .

Awwww.

We're definitely going to have to stuff Yoshi when he dies. Otherwise we'll miss him too much.

This needs a ragdoll physics tag.

Clip of great *vintage *animation.

What breed of cat is that in your avatar, atara? Looks a lot like my Ragdoll.
