Morgan Webb on the Tyra Banks Show

Wow. Spending too much time in some solo activity to the detriment of a relationship is one thing, but I love the pseudo-intellectual attempt at 'understanding' videogame players, with the obvious undertone being that any amount of gameplay is not a legitimate form of entertainment. Let's flip it around for a second to reveal the absurdity.

Guy: "Hi Mike, my girlfriend wants to go out to see a movie every night. A movie - EVERY NIGHT! How do I get her to stop?" (look of exasperation)

Host: "Well, it's clear she's trying to roleplay. It's the entire purpose of going to the movies, you know. What was the last movie you saw together? Was it sci-fi?"

Guy: "No."

Host: "She doesn't want to be a space princess, then. What was the genre?"

Girl: "But--"

Guy: "Western."

Girl: "Well, yeah, I mean, sometimes I enjoy a western if it's done right, just like any movie, bu--"

"Ah. Classic cowgirl. That's what she wants, really. Instead of going to the movies, Jane, don't you think you could just slip into some assless leather chaps and spend more time with your boyfriend?"

Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant - Wrestlemania III 1987

Bravo, MH. One of the best/funniest articles I ever read about Andre the Giant was actually from Modern Drunkard Magazine:

http://www.drunkard.com/issues/10_06/10_06_andre_giant.html

"For proof of his drawing power, look no further than Wrestlemania III in 1987. The main event was Andre vs. Hulk Hogan. The show drew the first million-dollar gate in wrestling history, set a pay-per-view record that lasted a decade, and set the all-time indoor attendance record for any live event ever—78,000+ butts in seats at the Pontiac Silver Dome in Detroit—destroying the previous record set by some rock band called the Rolling Stones. His rematch with Hogan two months later, broadcast live on NBC, attracted 33 million viewers, making it the most watched wrestling match ever."

And another comment from the article...

"You won’t find it in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. It was one of the few times Andre got drunk enough to pass out, which he did in a hallway at his hotel. His companions, quite drunk themselves, couldn’t move the big man. Fearing trouble with cops, they stole a piano cover from the lounge and draped it over Andre’s inert form. He slept peacefully until morning, unmolested by anyone. Perhaps the hotel people thought he was a piece of furniture."

Guys do stunts and flips into their pants...

I would've loved to have friends with this kind of skill hanging around outside my ex's parents' house. Nothing like running away half-naked to teach you how to quickly get a pair on.

Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant - Wrestlemania III 1987

I enjoyed this as well, but looking at it today... Should we give it a Bravo for the acting?

I keep thinking every time Hogan hits the mat, he's going to pull up, throw that arm out and sing a freaking operatic song of sorrow to the crowd.

Goose VS. Man on a boat with his dog

It's not often you get to see a good First Person Goose Choker (FPGC) film. Kudos.

...And was anyone else reminded of the T-1000 chasing the car in Terminator 2?

Roger Williamson Fatal Crash

Awful. Just awful. I'm normally not one to knock a video like this onto the front page but it's definitely a deserving sift. Thanks for posting it, Nygma.

Mirror's Edge - 1st Person Parkour on PS3 In Game Footage

I'm definitely excited by the concept of this game... But I wonder, will there be a difficulty setting or way for us to turn off the 'hot route' that guides players? And is there only one way to get in and out of the various locales? It seems like the mechanic will lend itself to gameplay that feels like it's on rails...

Hey Zonbie, thanks for checking out my sifts! I noticed Mirror's Edge in the comments; I'll have to go throw some upvotes your way as well. I'm excited about that game, that's for sure!

Hi Rottenseed,
I thought you'd be interested to know I've got a good link back in the original thread about teaching babies how to fly.

In reply to this comment by rottenseed:
I learned how to swim by this method, it's the flying I never took on to. Countless adults would just throw me into the air, I suspect because they wanted me to learn how to fly. Alas, I failed and continually they had to catch me.

Rottenseed, they were throwing you up into the air, not down off a high ledge? That must be your problem with this flying business.
