No...the other guy! If you click the link...Mr. Bean was in the youtube clip.

That's no way to live.

I would guess they just didn't want an A/O rating.

Also: Mr. Bean.

Seconded.

Yeah, I think the 360 headset was originally designed to be the toy in McDonald's Happy Meals.

I think I said parody-response. I had all my bases covered, thank you.

For some reason, that's a really disturbing term.

maybe you already know this, but just in case, it's actually a parody response to this song: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av7m_Pgt1S8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av7m_Pgt1S8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> So it seems like maybe they just made it up for that song.

I've never heard it outside of that song. But maybe I don't spend enough time in the right places.

Yeesh. That was like an elementary school recess simulator. Everybody was playing a game right nearby but I couldn't join in.

Excellent. It looks to be on like Donkey Kong in a thong.

Ok. Agree to disagree. I can understand why it would bother you. In the instances in which I've heard them use that type of phrase though, they do explain, to a degree, what makes the subject "mad Japanese", but I'm new to Giantbomb in general, so I haven't heard/seen nearly everything.

anyone? I'll definitely buy this if anyone is interested in regularly scheduled play sessions. On Xbox 360, I should add.

It's verbal shorthand, and I think it's effective. You know exactly what he means don't you? There's like a whole paradigm in place for popular Japanese genre fiction. It's almost like Tarrantino films, you know, how he has so many characteristic tropes that he's like a genre unto himself? Or, it's like when you say, "Russian PC Game" most people (gamers anyway) have a whole set of bullet points in their mind as to what that means without you having to go into further explanations. Plus, they're talking as they're playing, so they're trying to be "Snappy Gamers" and keep the banter fluid. They can't talk about any one thing for too long because things are constantly going on on the screen. And the ER and quicklooks are supposed to be informal, jokey and fun; I don't really need them to be busting out highbrow analysis...

It's funny because British guys call women "birds."

I know, I'm just joshin'. Personally, I don't think humans are capable of objectivity under any circumstances (Yes, I realize that the statement is sort of self-defeating because it declares itself wholly subjective).

Nor should you. Take the high road, friend.

Ironyyyyyyy.

Those are fair points, Shakesbeard. Thanks for taking the time. I have made up my mind in the sense that I'm going to table this issue for the time being. But I haven't ruled it out for good. I'm definitely interested in trying the Monster Hunter series, but I think I'm going to wait until the Wii Game comes out.

Those guys are great. Especially when they do masterclass episodes. They really take a lot of time to prepare and do a solid post-production polish and their excitement is infectious. In fact, I've never heard men of their age get so unabashedly enthused before (maybe because I've never been to Comic Con). They are heavy on genre-fiction fanboy stuff but they cover it well. Basically it's like a compendium of everything you need or want to know about mainstream cinema. And I don't use "mainstream" in a pejorative sense, I mean, it's called "The Hollywood Saloon" not "Extreme Indie Rebel Hour" and it's truth in advertising.

I will play it in 2012 when I get a launch PS3 for $50 at a booth at the state fair.

Yeah. By the Joker!

Wow, Wrestlevania. I think I'm just about convinced. If the PSP turns sound-minded gamers into vitriolic anger-machines...I think it's best to just say no. I suppose the main reason for my interest was that, as a gamer, I will always at least consider adopting any new platform that comes along, because of the prospect of having access to a whole new library of games. Plus, I think I was subconsciously hoping it would sate my nagging desire to break down and spend a lot of money I shouldn't on a PS3. Granted, I know it's not really a good substitute by any means...but it would be a current-gen Sony gaming device and it will have LittleBigPlanet on it fairly soon. But I watched a bunch of giant bomb quick looks of some of the games I was most interested in, and most of them look underwhelming. Dissidia: Final Fantasy (which sounds awesome on paper) just looks dumb. Plus I'm in love with my DS, and I wouldn't want it to get jealous.
