I like the sentiment but in reality I was always a console kid and could never get on with PC games. Too challenging for me, especially as I always felt PCs were work-orientated.

They missed a couple of things that annoy me about console-gaming; the whole fucking in-game collectables OCD challenges that I refuse to rise to. I'm not collecting 400 riddler trophies in Batman AC. Yet unlike others before it, AC has actually made it worse by tying those trophies into the whole business of unlocking other parts of the game as well as the Riddler side mission.

And because they are linked to achievements there's no longer the ability (though this went many moons ago) of typing in a cheat code to quickly access the gaming content you actually bought! I liked Batman AC but traded it in quickly once completed. If they can't trust their own game without padding it I'm not hanging onto it.

The other development that afflicts every shooter is XP based gaming. Do anything and you're piling up experience points of some sort or the other which then of course unlock stuff or compile into badges of honour or in-game commendations/achievements. I don't mind levelling as a legitimate form of game design but it's overused now and hints at the dearth of ideas in first person shooters currently.

Trying futilely to fix this old dead vid and reread your comment. Hilarious.

Some highlights with translations:

"My degree is in enginering...that speaks to my practical and analytical side."

But my FROSTED side speaks to the deliciousness that is me! TENNIS anyone?

"When I'm not being my integrated self, I'm wallowing in the muck of my own secret hell just like everybody else."

I'm wallowing in the muck of my own secret hell for all to see online.

"But my parole office says I'm mostly done with that now."

I killed my parole officer.

"I'm a man with a big heart."

It's in a jar in my refrigerator labeled PAROEL OFFCER.

"I'm seeking a connection on many levels..."

Such as intercoursal, sexual and copulatical.

"Yeah baby."

Austin Powers and I own a timeshare in the 1990s.

"If you identify as a very good girl, then we would probably not be a very good fit."

If your remains can be identified, you're too risky to keep as a trophy.

"I'm a bit of a bad boy."

My mom thinks I'm cool.

"If we click, I'll probably challenge you and surprise you sexually."

I'm uncircumcised.

Ha Ha Ha, I just LOVE the way he proudly displays the trophy at 1:08

Is this one of those deals where every biker gets a trophy?
yup, just like in Little Miss America pageants

In the beginning there was a fountain
But it wasn't just any fountain
It was a fountain of light
It was a fountain of truth
It was a fountain of dreams
It was a fountain of youth

It was a magic fountain

And we were never told
That the fountain was a trophy for the kingdoms of old
A treasure a plaything a Trojan in disguise
And in the last great war the secret burned up in the fire
So the peasants stormed mountain tops pretending to be king
While the king sailed off in their balloons pursuing idle things
? Hit the Himalayas in the night

It was a magic fountain

And so it was some motley crew who found it in the night
One of them a lunatic told me of his plight
One dived to the left of him two went to the right
But he remained he said he saw he said he saw the light

And it was magic fountain
Magic fountain

If only the Mav's owner, Mark Cuban, had as much respect for the hard work it took to get there.

Films like this show that the Razzies are an ineffective form of punishment for bad filmmaking. We should introduce a new award show, The Machine-gunnies, winners can take the stage and give a short speech before being presented with multiple lovely lead trophies.

Awesome.
I was in a Soap box derby when I was a kid. (age 10 or 11)
I didn't have a dad around so I built it myself - Ugliest thing ever, Painted with dark brown house paint and had rope steering - we called it "The Walk-Away". Came in second-place over all and got myself a big trophy and my photo in the paper. Good Times.

Never even conceived of making it look as cool as this one at the time. You don't need to win when you're driving an x-wing - he already won before he started the race!

I just don't trust the US government. And I don't understand why they destroyed all the real evidence (AKA the body).

Because he's not a trophy, as much as the average meat head dip-shit would like to believe. Gloating over his corpse is below the level that the US thinks of itsself, and rightly so. Doing so would be no better than those they fight.

I'm really not a lover of the US generally (oh how their crap gets into every pore of our lives), but i appauld them for taking the higher moral ground on this. Aside from all else, why pour petrol on the fire ? People can not believe it if they want and that's fine, as no unneeded anger leading to even more deaths gets caused that way at least.

Also, it would be an incredible bluff to make as it's so easily disproved. The fact that there's been no instant refusal should speak volumes.

Probably a dupe. I'll give it to you.
