think Dennis the menace could teach this guy a thing or two about slingshot making.

I'm a Stooge fan. I own the chronologically released shorts on DVD and I've seen all thier shorts at least 3 or 4 times.

As far as the trailer goes, the Stooges themselves look and sound great. They really seem to have nailed the Stooges' mannerisms, voices, and style. The guy doing Larry Fine is a little taller and thinner than he should be, but for the most part in every other way they are a faithful re-creation of the classic characters. They nailed it. And what slapstick I saw sure looked like it had the punchy, zippy choreography that made the stooges so great when they were on thier game. Kudos.

I'm a bit nervous when I see nuns in slingshot thongs though, and women walking around with 6 inches of cleavage. The Stooges were certainly no strangers to spicing things up a bit and playing the wolf-hounds. But they kept the innuendo pretty subtle, and the pool nun was about as subtle as a crowbar. I liked how they kept Curly innocent though. "Is your hair different?". I sure hope they keep the boys innocent. I'd hate to see the movie become nothing but a scatological, sex humor cesspool. The Stooges should not go there. That's no thier thing. But it IS a Farrel movie, so (sadly) such pandering seems likely.

JFC are you kidding me? What's next giant slingshots? That take off is insane!

Put it this way , if you replaced all the art work in crush the castle with angry birds most people would think it was angry birds.

I don't mind people taking concepts and only changing a small part but the issue with angry birds is that angry birds is so little of a change and yet they capitalized fincaily on it so much more and gets all the recognisoin.

Good Flash games consistently gets ripped off / coppied / used as fundimentals of game play , but not attributed . then as a result popular consensus is that flash games are the ass of the games industry when in reality some amazing products addictive/fun games have come from it.

No, no, no... Scorched earth and worms are totally different games from Angry Birds and Crush the Castle. Yes, they use physics. So do a million other games. Yes, you shoot things, just like a hundred million other games. But Westy's right. Angry Birds and Crush the Castle are set up in almost exactly the same way. Total ripoff. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
The target being physics-based (cages, boards, bricks falling and breaking things below it) is different, but the physics-based shooting is the same. Angle, power, type of ammo, possible interference of map structures; some games made you consider wind strength and direction. That's the core of the game (for me), and I've seen it hundreds... well, lots of times.

We may be talking about two slightly different things. I'm addressing the gameplay aspect, and I think you and Westy are talking more about IP copycatting. Like if RoTT had large floating pumpkins that shot fireballs similar to Doom's Cacodemons. The catapults in Crush the Castle are different than the slingshots in Angry Birds, but the targets are set up the same. I can see why that part looks like a rip-off.

It's in the bloopers

definitely EIA, because they almost overshoot the end of the lake.

Apparently, this product is only for nicely tanned, good looking, white people.


Well, it WAS made in Utah.

>> ^blankfist:

I wanted to fuck everyone in this video because they're so awesome.


Actually, I don't think it would work like that, they would most likely fuck you.

also *eia because all of these people survived something dangerous and go on to have awesome offspring.

I wanted to fuck everyone in this video because they're so awesome I'm a closet rapist.

NERRRRRD! Everyone get the nerd!

>> ^Yogi:

I would've felt better if they did the proper equations to show where they would land because I was worried they would overshoot it. Everything worked out though...I guess I just like explanations to much.

Thanks dude

Meh, the slingshot laser sight gets the vote.

I just can't support this video. What if children see this? They're going to think that shooting circular saw blades out of giant, homemade slingshots is OK. I'm not sure of the injury statistics on this one but my gut tells me they're dangerous. You might think it's funny now, but what happens when the neighbor comes over to tell you that your child embedded a saw blade into their cat?

>> ^rottenseed:

you can't say that it fires at a rate of 960 rounds per second when you have such a short supply of ammo...that's like saying that I can have sex 6 times a minute when we know I'm done for good after 10 seconds...

That's exactly how the firing rate of every automatic gun is stated. See Metal Storm for example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hlj4EbdsE). The video finishes of with a 1 000 000 rounds per minute demonstration, even though it only shoots 180 rounds.
