I Shit My Pants Last Night: the internet video thread

[dieblucasdie]

gf got a brand new 27" iMac for her birthday

I can't believe I'm gonna fail out of school for a game as lame as Dragon Age

[FreddyKnuckles]

Ha nice.  Go pirate ME2.  Exact same game but in space and not as lame.

[dieblucasdie]

Well, it's an iMac, though.  I'm playing Dragon Age because it and Modern Warfare are basically the only two games of the past three years to get Mac ports. 

Dear Bioware:  The vague promise of a blurry polygon sex scene will not get me to sit through hours and hours of fantasy-boilerplate backstory conversation.  That would've totally worked when I was 13 though, so I won't hate

[FreddyKnuckles]

See that's why mac's suck still.

You have to do all this crazy stuff like partitioning your hard drive to make them worth a damn. 

I would probably have partitioned the hd with a pirated copy of windows 7 and beaten ME2 by now if I were you.

[Good Intentions]

Dude, every PC should partition its hard-drive. I run Windows and I've got 4 partitions (one of which is Linux, and I'm not counting the swap partition for that)

The thread title ha-has actually aren't very funny, just confusing.

[donblood]

Thread title change in honor of this:

God, it's so amazing.

I don't know if any of you saw this, but Justin Bieber (a teen heartthrob I've never heard of until his fans caused public disturbances in Australasia) gave a real humdinger of an interview to NZ TV. Here's the highlight.

Is this the German thing?

I just sent this to one of the senior R&D dudes at DEKA.

Yes.

I can't seem to appreciate Paul Rudd at all except as the straight man to someone funny. Which is pretty much what he does, but my distaste is so strong that I fast forward through scenes dependent on his performance. That video made me laugh, though.

He is very attractive.

There are many things wrong with this video (of badly dressed middle-aged men hacking apart slabs of meat with a reproduction sword to an electric guitar soundtrack) -- let's start with the fact that you can do all of those cuts with the machete in your shed, except for maybe one or two, which you could do with a shovel.

(Also, the sword weighs about twice as much as any historical example of that size, but the list of people bothered by that consists basically of me and a few people I know by name).

[Greg Nog]

GI I would seriously pay cash money if you made a series of videos about historically-accurate swordfighting.

[FreddyKnuckles]

That thing is pretty clearly poorly balanced and unwieldy

[elpollodiablo]

YouTube has damn commercials now?

[FreddyKnuckles]

I don't know what's better about this:  that this guy is stoked about the war hammer he bought from this company, or that he has both peanut butter and vaseline next to his pc.

I haven't got a producer to back my own project, but I can recommend some videos by other people, if you like.

There is actually video recorded of me teaching a short workshop on messerfechten (14th and 15th century use of the single-handed sword in German-speaking Europe), but I've never seen it myself and have no idea what's happened to it.

Hmm....

Doooo it!!!!

[Anne the Man]

Yes.

I'm almost disappointed it's not true.

Also yes Marinus do it.

Haha, that's even better, given his mom's antisemitism.

See: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/03/fashion/03bieber.html

He lived in low-income housing with Ms. Mallette, who prayed that God would use her son as a modern Prophet Samuel, a voice to his generation.

A youth pastor, perhaps? Or even a singer on a Christian label, she thought?

So when an Atlanta-based hip-hop manager named Scooter Braun called nearly two years ago, Ms. Mallette was confused. “I prayed, ‘God, you don’t want this Jewish kid to be Justin’s man, do you?’ ” she recalled.

Pretty sure he shows him the card with the word written on it.

[Captain]

That boy looks like he is all of 11 years-old.

[Good Intentions]

There's no way you'll mistake 'German' for 'Jewman' in the normal run of things, not even across accents: the vowels are very different. He says /d͡ʒəmən/ clear as day, and then expects us to believe he heard (and said) /d͡ʒu:mən/. Somebody else told me he mistook it for 'doorman', which is a little more phonetically plausible. He should have gone with that one.

Then there's the fact that he gets shown the word on the card.

I mean, the kid was probably very tired what with the continent hopping and the constant public appearances, and had a bit of a brain fart. But brain fart it was.
