Funny thread.

I'm glad you also find this video to be funny as hell. (Even though I am aware of the fact that "Tourette's Syndrome" doesn't work that way in real life.)

My favourite part of the video is the Tourette Guy's father (or "Santa" as you called him) chases the cameraman around the house as a result of the cameraman accidently dropped him, due to the cameraman laughing so hard, while trying to pick him up.

As for the cereal part. I'm not familar with the brand myself (I am from Australia, so that can be justified) but going by what he's wearing, he could've came from an Amish community.

No that cereal (Count Chocula) is actually not as popular today as it was like 2 or 3 decades ago. That's why I thought it was funny that an old guy like Tourette Guy's father didn't know what it was.

Presently, the cereal brand is popular with Generation X-ers that are quite familiar with it. And that's why TV shows and movies that target them (in part) make so much references to it on shows like The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Futurama, The Office and many others.

That was funny.

Like the part where 'Santa' can't figure out a fucking cereal that has been on the market for like 50 years.

I felt that it was too action-centric. The series at its heart has always been survival horror, about having a limited amount of ammunition and exercising some planning and intelligence to maximise the efficiency of your ammunition. But at some point I guess IQs dropped sharply while I was away and people didn't want to think in games anymore, so instead it's all about running from point A to point B, picking up the things with huge arcs of light shining from them and gunning down hordes of enemies.

Sure, RE4 has its fans but I find it amusing how all the people who bitched about RE5, actually thought RE4 was amazing. They're practically the same game, the only difference was the inclusion of co-op and a new character. Gameplay-wise, they're almost exactly the same. I disliked both RE4 and RE5, but I think that RE5 at least made some effort to fix the shit that RE4 did. It was still a god damn mess that ended the Umbrella/Wesker arc very poorly, but Takeuchi was pretty much told to do the impossible - make a good story from what RE4 gave us.

Then you have people saying "Oh, I wish Shinji did RE5!". Don't forget, he was the one who caused all this mess in the first place. Takeuchi just became the fall guy for all these Mikami fanboys who simply refused to believed that he fucked up with RE4, it's a game that appeals to the lowest common denominator. In its defence however, it's a good way to bring new fans into the series but it's not really a series they're getting into, is it? For example, one thing that raised my ire was when I was reading Gamesmaster magazine (a gaming publication over here) and perusing their review of Resident Evil 5. The reviewer stated, and I quote, "...includes classic Resi 4 elements".

CLASSIC?

Sorry, that had to be in caps simply to state via the medium of text just how shocked I was at reading that. Classic? How is RE4 considered "classic"? It wasn't even five years old at the time that RE5 review was out. Anyway, there's my response, apologies for derailing the topic, I'm just going to sit here now and calmly await the pages and pages of hate-filled rants that are about to populate this thread. How dare I challenge the authority of RE4.

Whistles innocently

Actually, I think RE4 was what destroyed the series in the first place. Granted, CVX was the catalyst that led to the creation of RE4.

“aw C’mon Nintendo! Y won’t u let us use the Mario theme for 15 secs in the @Justinbieber movie,” said Never Say Never director Jon Chu via Twitter. “…talk about free advertising passed up. Oops,” adds Chu.

The director must be 12 years old or something.

LOL.
