Weird Noises and Fart Sounds

I don’t even know what to call this…

...

Don’t wrestle in Japan.

EVER.

..Now that’s out of the way - an important announcement - right after the jump.

I’ll have to be honest here, I had not shown alot of interest in Fallout 3 until I had seen some of the junk members of the modding community had done - and to be even honest-er* I showed even less interest when I found that buying a copy for PC in my dingy little corner of the world was about as difficult as dipping your balls in honey and avoiding bees in spring.

Not that I have ever done that, mind.

But after finding an exceptionally rare copy of the game at my local EB, (which is inhabited by some very magical and friendly folk, who make hundreds of dollars vanish from my credit card ever other week - and I am okay with that) I umm’ed and ahhh’ed and eventually decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about.

I must be some kind of super idiot for not picking it up sooner. Within an hour of starting the game, I had drank from a very unsanitary, and colourful…toilet.

Radioactive Toilet....DETECTED.

Who would have thought “Activating” a toilet would make me crouch and take a hearty and audible SLURP. And here I was, stupidly trying to empty my bladder.

After killing a legion of Mad Maxx style punk rock cannibal men in a local supermarket, dressed in police riot gear and a Jason Voorhees hockey mask, I found myself slurping away at every toilet and sink I could find, and throwing the ever growing surplus of grenades I found hidden in every drawer and metal box at local wildlife.

I even found myself flinging open other toilet stall doors, hoping to find a golden toilet to drink from that may bestow me some kind of greater super power - but no such luck.

Kicking the doors in, Action hero style.

It was right about this point that I realised I was thoroughly enjoying myself - and it had also dawned on me that the game had barely started. There was still a wealth of content ready for me to unravel and NOM upon like some kind of boiled sweet that small children are usually forbidden from enjoying before bed. I was getting very excited, considering I had just finished getting severe radiation poison for a nice lady I met in a shanty town, when I headed off towards my next adventure to dance in a mine field for the same nice lady that asked me to poison myself.

When suddenly, while enjoying the incredible landscape - the game froze.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t mad though. I had just saved after a rather big trip, so nothing was lost - and it gave me the time I needed to take that long overdue toilet break I was meaning to enjoy several hours BEFORE I had decided to install the game.

Plus, it was nice enough to freeze at a particular pretty scene, so it wasn’t too infuriating.

The Richard Kiel Experience

Well, this weeks WTF-riday has a healthy dose of nostaliga thrown in.

Today we shall be showcase the timeless classic, “The Richard Kiel” experience from the geniuses (geniusi?) from http://www.disasterlabs.com/ - Who are probably best known for their Arfenhouse movies. The film itself is something of a heartfelt link to my past, being the kind of thing that both myself and that magnificent bastard from Nickblog, Nick Coad would find ourselves watching after a few too many beers and not enough sleep.

I won’t be the kind of asshole to give away key plot items and remove the intricacies of the writers depth and focus at creating a moving piece of colour art, but just so everyone fucking knows - Richard Kiel is the huge scary guy from Happy Gilmore who get nails shot into his head. Also better known as - yes, thats right - the Bond villains JAWS.

Keep an eye out for the interactive part of the piece, and enjoy the duclet tones of its soundtrack - and make sure you heed the kindly worded warning at the end.

Team Fortress 2 isn’t so much a game as it is a cinematic experience.

Yes, that is MY arrow. And that is his face, every...last...bit.
