OK, so everyone can comment all they want about camera cuts, who did what in the commercial, whatever the f#ck you want to say tear this apart, deconstruct it or knock it down. But I'm a sixteen year veteran of the toy industry, and I see potential. I see something here that moves past the crap that Mattel and Hasbro, Jakks Pacific, Spinmaster, New Bright, Jada, MGA and others cram down the throats of kids at places like Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R Us. I'm guilty of being a part of that machine, I admit it. But I'm not necessarily happy about it, and seeing things like this makes me even less happy about it. Especially that I now have a 4 year old daughter. So I truly hope that this thing takes off. I wish them the absolute best of luck, I'm going to be voting regularly for them to get the spot, and I look forward to buying their product.

So it's Christmas eve, I'm having dinner with my parents in rural Colorado, they also have some of their friends and neighbors over, including a nearby neighbor who's a local sheriff, nice guy, I know him ok. Everybody's having a good time, laughing and telling stories.
He tells us this hilarious story about when he got pissed off and choked and beat a sixteen year old for skateboarding on the sidewalk. Killed the mood.

Cops are fucked up. Even good cops are fucked up.

That is certainly true. Our word for "dozen" went through a slighty different evolution and is now somewhat unfit to be the base of a term for... bases. Instead, we use a simplified terminology: system of eights, system of tens, system of twelves, system of sixteens, etc.

"Hey, let's make it over-the-shoulder perspective and have tons of QT events that require minimal actual gameplay."

"Well, how will that make it any different from every other piece of console dreck on the market?"

"Big tits?"

"Been done... a lot."

"Sixteen arms?"

"Awesome!"

2:56 "...it has this important property that when raised to different exponents, the solution distributes uniformly around the clock...AND the solution is never 0", he should have said.

Another mistake at 3:08: "...so if we raise 3 to any exponent x, the solution is equally likely to be any integer between zero and seventeen one and sixteen..."

Sixteen seconds of useless video effects at the beginning already put me in a bad mood.

I was expecting a bunch of improbable yet funny accidents compiled into a single video but got a bunch of fakers instead. Bleh

Not yet, I think I will try it though. I tried to find marathon for pc on torrent but found nothing I wanted. I remember marathon from sixteen years ago or whatnot.

She's got stickers on her locker
And the boy's number's there in magic marker
I'm hungry and the hunger will linger
I eat sixteen saltine crackers then I lick my fingers

Well every morning I deliver the news
Black hat white shoes and I'm red allover
She's got a big mailbox, that she puts up front
Garbage in garbage out, she's getting what she wants

Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who?
If I get busy then I couldn't care less what you do
But when I'm by myself I think of nothing else
Than if a boy just might be getting through and touching you

Spike heels make a hole in a lifeboat
Jumpin' and waving, I'm talking and laughing as we float
I hear a whistle, that's how I know she's home
Lipstick, eyelash, broke mirror, broken home

Force fed, force mixed 'till I drop dead
You can't defeat her, when you meet her you'll be what I said
And Lord knows there's a method to her madness
Bustin' those jokes as I float in a sea of sadness

She doesn't know but when she's gonna sit and drink up a few
I'm sure she's drinkin two, but wondering what for and who
And I'm solo rollin'. I'm one side off the boat.
Looking out, throwing up, a lifesaver down my throat

Who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous who's jealous of who? (x3)

Disagreeing is not fighting, troll.

See 0:50-1:00 here.

I'm pretty sure I know why you don't think this is real (whether you're aware of it or not), and it has nothing to do with nuance. Play it again. (a) The voice does doppler as he moves to and from the mic; (b) There is not a single moment where the lips or Adam's Apple are not perfectly in sync with the recording (a near impossibility while lip-syncing, especially with this guy's idiosyncratic syncopation); (c) The acoustics in that auditorium are excellent (considering how loud the performers' snaps come through), which may explain the reduced dopplering that you experienced; (d) It is very unlikely that the mic in the video is the only device through which the recording was made, which again explains reduced doppler effect. I hate to call you out, but the unlikeliness of this guy's voice is what makes this so incredibly promote-able.>> ^MaxWilder:
I find it hard to believe this is real. Not because he doesn't "look" like he could have that kind of voice, but because the sound of his voice is rock solid and extremely nuanced while the man is nowhere near the mic and constantly changing position. I could totally be wrong, but I don't think you get that kind of recording outside of a studio.
Edit: Awesome version of this song, whoever actually sang it.


You're pretty sure of my deep inner beliefs? Pray tell, what are they?
Also, moving toward/away from a mic should cause change in volume, not a noticeable doppler effect. He would have to be running past the microphone for that to happen.
And since I explicitly said "I could totally be wrong" I see no need to defend my opinions, which are my honest opinions and I stand behind them after multiple viewings.


Ok... contradicting everything I said, claiming to know what I'm actually thinking is different from what I posted, and then using the phrase "call you out"... and you didn't mean to pick a fight? I think perhaps you need to consider your words a tiny bit more before hitting that "submit" button.
