We will say though that we like how this video doesn't have a "joke" per se. It's just a fun reminder that, if brought to life, some of our favorite gaming moments would look downright ridiculous. ... See? There we go saying too much about it. Curse our verbosity! You should probably just watch the video.

Seriously.. you guys copy all your junk from Kotaku and every other "gaming blog" site. Ever heard of doing any original posts for your OWN sources and not someone else's?

Um, do you even know what the point of blogs are? They gather information from all over teh intarwebs and give them to us in one place. That's why they link to articles at the bottom of all their posts, those are the original sources. Everyone gets their info from the same places and just because one post shows up somewhere else first doesn't mean it's copied from there, it just happened to show up there before it made its way here. The fact that you think everything is stolen leads me to believe that you're incapable of creating your own thoughts, and that your comment was probably stolen from Kotaku and posted here.

A few notes on Joystiq vs. Kotaku:
1. Kotaku covers literally everything even mildly remotely related to the words "video game." This is why there is such an inane amount of worthless content on their site, and why everyone elses coverage tends to be shared. They just cover everything.
2. Kotaku tends to get posts up immediately after information is discovered because they don't take the time to write articles of a.) quality, b.) depth, c.) length. They usually just say "here, thing happened," and because of the insignificance of most of what they post about, it's usually all that can be said.
3. The comment boards? Not even gonna go there.
Anyway, Jstiq >>> Kotaku.

Also I got banned from Kotaku for no real reason. No big loss. I'm a bit of a shit-stirrer sometimes, but I don't troll for the sake of it. I think it was a gun control rant that sealed my fate. Shit, I don't think America sould ban guns, just have a bit more checks and control then ticking a "I'm not bat-shit crazy" box before being handed a small arsenal. It seems that if you don't post the same inane drivel as everyone else, you get banned. Not that you'd want to, becuase the reply system is horrible.

Not that I need to defend it, but I had this written at 7:30 this morning after Rocco from Mega64 sent it to me personally because I'm JUSTIN MCELROY, F-list internet personality.
We just thought we'd get the real news out of the way first.

I have to agree pretty hard that Joystiq > Kotaku by a lightyear.
Not only are Kotaku posts unfunny and shallow, 99% of them are about busty furry porn, and their elitist "you have to audition to post on our site" rule just makes it even more of a joke.

I've always liked the nice quirky posts on this site, and certainly prefer them over the somewhat matter-of-fact posts elsewhere.
On the topic at hand, great video.

Also, I'd rather read the exact same text on any website but Kotaku, because their color scheme and design looks like barf.

Uh... Testing Comments... Why don't my replies show up? Anyway, I'm not a fighting game fan, so I didn't really get the full effect, though it was pretty funny anyways. I recognized it was a Street Fighter parody, so I looked up a video of it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=8xsqXo8pW2c

1. Screw you, anti-Joystiq trolls who complain about their time being wasted and getting news 1 hour late, etc. while simultaneously wasting all of our time with your whining.
2. Thank you, Joystiq, for being a quality blog that provides me with awesome posts to read every day, from fun stuff like this to serious game news and articles.

After the first movie, Van Damme was able to reverse the effects (yes, they dug his body out and revived him), but sadly, he's still green with orange hair. However, he was now able to control his rage by beating on cars. When asked why he doesn't wear a shirt now that he was a regular man again (except for being green), he said "chicks dig the red chest hair."

This really made my Wednesday morning. Thanks Joystiq and Mega64! Also, if you haven't checked out any of their videos, you need to go see all of them right now! My personal fav is the paperboy video.
