This has to be the most easily faked viral video out there. No visual effects, just a convenient accidental recording and stock 'glass breaking' sound effect. I'm not going to pretend to be an internet detective and 'prove' that this is fake, but it seems so much more likely that it is fake than anything else. And of course the licensing contact info is right up in the description.

To address your points

"Did you even read the article I linked?"
Sorry, I didn't. I opened it, but I really don't have time to read a 40-page law review article.

"In other words, you're flat out wrong when you say the 2nd amendment wasn't about self-defense".
Ok, we can agree to disagree there, but the point still stands that the statement "The WHOLE point of the second amendment... is so we can defend ourselves" (emphasis mine) is incorrect. I'll grant you it might be PART of it.

"I'm not sure why your tone is so dismissive in this thread."
Because I'm tired of trying to convince Americans to stop murdering each other.

"you're quite lucky to live in a country where your government protects you from growing your own food by throwing all those dangerous gardeners in prison. "
Please tell me you realise that's satire because your tone kinda makes me think you're taking that seriously. No, gardens are not illegal in NZ. Almost everyone I know grows some of their own food (at least, those of us lucky enough to afford a house with a garden).

"New Zealand has a shit-ton of guns (about one for every four people)"
Agreed. I even previously brought this up myself.

"people own them for a variety of reasons, from sport"
I know, I have friends who target shoot and hunt

"to self-defense"
cue wrong buzzer sound effect.

To get a gun in NZ you need a Firearms licence. To get this , you will be interviewed, and

You will have difficulty being deemed 'fit and proper' to possess or use firearms if you have:
...
indicated an intent to use a firearm for self-defence.

Have some people (shock, horror) lied to the cops to get a licence? Probably, but in general, no-one here actually wants a gun for self-defense.

Look, I have no problem with people using guns. I just think that maybe you could all stop fetishising them so much and realise that you live in the 21st century and not the old west.

Personally, I'm with Jim Jeffries on this one.

i love the sound effects in the video, they're surprisingly good at adding some humor

If anyone is interested, the bear sound effects you've been talking about come from the Series 6000 sound effects collection.

I've recognized common sound effects going back as far as the 80's, so in the early 2000's I got determined to hunt a few of them down and find out why they were so pervasive.
Those of you recognizing the bear here would be equally familiar with the screeching falcon and "dragon" roar (griffins/dragons from WC2, along with every other dragon/hawk sfx in most games everywhere), the sci-fi power-door, and the magic/fireball explosion (doom, pretty much all of doom came from this effects CD).

I am really, really tempted to make a Series6000 tribute video. I own the Series 6000 collection myself (You can get it for ~$1000 online now a days), and use it in nearly every project.

For now, I've sifted the original sample video the company uses for their promotional stuff, but I don't know if qualifies as *Related=http://videosift.com/video/All-Hail-The-General-Sound-Effects-Library-Series-6000

There was a problem completing Related=http://videosift.com/video/All-Hail-The-General-Sound-Effects-Library-Series-6000 request.

Complete with sci-fi sound effect. Perfect!

I hope when the movie comes out, someone does the whole thing in sound effects...

Beta was fun! It got old playing the same map. People eventually found annoying advantages like getting an at-st right at the start and stomping/shooting rebels as they spawned. But yes, the sound effects/music alone made the game.

It was fun, very limited. But god damn, the music, the sound effects, people flying through the air when their jump packs malfunction. It's like crack for your childhood memories.

So this is the finished product, eh? It's good that whoever worked on that project finally got it done, even though the short that was already linked is 2 years old.

It does feel finished. But I'll be honest and to the point: the music sucks. It sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks. If you were to mute the audio, you can enjoy it (and can almost hear the sound effect in your head). Watching it with the audio was both entertaining and irritating at the same time.

This just as easily could have ended up a Liveleak video, with him dropping to the floor with sparks and a zzzzzzt sound effect. With her annoying giggling turning into annoying shrieks.

Lovely sound effects.

I want to see what happens after a plant's finished digesting its victim. Does it dissolve the entire thing or does it drop a carcass when it reopens?

Enquiring minds want to know!

2 more comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.

That was pretty well done, although I thought the Matrix style woosh fight sound effects were a bit over used.

Why is Arrow in the tags? I know Deathstroke is in Arrow, but this has nothing to do with that

Agreed about the explosion effect, however, I was impressed with the delayed sound effects from the destroyers lasers and impact.
