There was a kid in my junior high/high school class; bowl haircut, pudgy, socially awkward, etc. Standard issue goon stereotype really. This kid Always had new stuff though. New wristwatch, new backpack, new BMX bike, etc, like every week. Just assumed his parents spoiled him a bit.

Sophomore year of high school speech class though, he gives a speech on how he enters contests freely all the time. Contest entry is his hobby. Like, a couple thousand entries per year, and he is always winning some level of prize.

The best part of the speech was about how he won a home visit from Cool and the Gang. Seriously. Cool and the loving Gang. At the front of the class he holds up a 8.5 x 11 glossy photo of his living room, with him standing there with Cool and the Gang.

That dude won mad respect from everyone in that class that day. I mean, Cool and the Gang, at your house!

Also, that is a subplot of the movie Real Genius, starring none other than Val Kilmer, recently featured in forum discussion.

The America's Army game was awesome. "Let's really teach people how to kill stuff accurately and effectivly!" gently caress yeah!

Yeah, I love to share that story. It's really a life lesson of some sort, don't judge a book by its cover, you don't know someone until you know them, don't make assumptions, etc.

There's a great Japanese game show about this. They lock a guy into a totally empty apt with no clothes, food, dishes, anything. Everything he gets must be won from magazines. I think the only clothing he ever got was some porn star's panties and they didn't fit so he was still naked the whole time. Fortunately Japanese magazines give away rice all the time so he had plenty of food. I wish I could remember the name of it.

WE GET IT. YOU LOVE GUN JESUS. Toujours des fusils Bullpup Français.
- A guy loaded the shotgun shells backwards

- A guy fired the shotgun from the hip, did not have it well braced, and the gun went flying (still loaded) about ten yards behind him and the rest of the firing line

- Guy fires the shotgun once, holds it vertical to pump like he saw Shwarzenegger do it or something, fires the second round straight up into the ceiling

- Guy firing the M9 would take a shot and then manually rack the slide each time, ejecting a perfectly good round, because he saw it in a movie

- My roommate who had never shot before was so nervous that when they called 'ready' or whatever to load the pistol (and wait to bring it up) he loaded, released the slide, brought it up, flipped safety, put two on target, dropped the mag and was reloading when the RSO tackled him

Typical F2P marketing. Once you start playing, you realize that you are swimming in war crime passes, but you actually need premium currency [Pepperoni Pizza Ration] to progress.

0. Just stopped taking phonecalls after they didn't stop calling after I told them I had zero interest in dying in iraq, and eventually they stopped trying.

That is so loving cool I can't imagine how excited I would be. Im more of an Earth Wind and Fire man but Kool and the Gang are fantastic.

I knew a kid who's mom spent most of her day playing flash games for prizes on a Canadian ice cream company's website. He was draped in Chapman's Ice Cream gear from head to ankle - I dont think they had branded shoes. They also had a duck that they kept inside in the house. I only went over there once to see the Chapman's shrine because the house stunk of bird piss and poo poo. I can just imagine Kool and the Gang's reaction if after years of hollywood swinging they were obligated to visit dank duck house because now theyre sponsored by Dr Scholls or Vim or whatever. It would be summer madness!!!!
