    READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION PLEASE!

    PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT EVEN IF YOU HATE IT! It inspires me to make more videos!

    Throughout history there were tons of great moments in video games such as when you first turned on Super Mario 64 to see it in 3D for the first time or the time you first picked up the Master Sword in The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and become an adult.

    There also were some bad moments like how crappy an ending was in a game or how tough it was just to beat the level and you end up cursing up a storm and throwing your controller.

    Then there were some weird moments!?!?!?! That’s right.. in this video we will take a look at some of the great weirdest moments in Video Game History!

    You won’t believe what I found until you see it! There were even weird moments in The Legend of Zelda and Mario Games.

    In this humorous mock spoof commercial, a fake retail mod called Counter Strike For Kids is showcased, in which the material of CS Source is replaced with child-friendly objects and colors. Followed by two sketches. This is not meant to be taken seriously, so leave any seriousness at the door. Enjoy!

    The 12 You’s Of Online Gaming

    Posted by admin on August 1st, 2009 and filed under online games | 25 Comments »

    Fourth in a series of 12 You Videos by Aron Ching (ForFun808)

    This video is a list of 12 things to annoy everyone about Online Gaming.

    Thanks to all who sent their ideas for this video! I have another 12 You video in which YOU can participate in, so go now!

    My Website: http://www.forfunproductions.com/

    FU#1
    To the people who have to hack and cheat just to win in an online game.
    WTF is your problem?
    These cheaters are retards because the spoil the fun for everyone playing the game, including themselves, so what’s the point?! They will also never get any better at the game because they’re never going to understand the game and are gonna have to rely on their little hacks just to compete, how pathetic!

    FU#2
    L-A-G
    Lag during an online game. If you lag, then fix your connection or buy a better computer! You would think that with all the new technology available and the next generation being such spoiled brats, that people could at least afford something better than a 56k modem!

    FU#3
    Don’t play an online game unless you know how to play or have played the single player first! Nobody wants a noob who doesn’t know what the they are doing on their team! So if you don’t want to be called a noob, play the single player game first and learn how to play before going online!

    FU#4
    Users who BACKSTAB and KILL THEIR OWN TEAM MATES during games! Again wtf is the point!? Users who backstab are ing douche nozzles because they sit at their computers all day killing their team instead of learning how to legitimately play the game!

    FU#5
    OK people STOP MAKING EXCUSES when you lose or die in an online game. NO the other person is not a hacker, the other person didn’t cheat, your team mates were NOT noobs, your connection wasn’t bad, you just ing lost and were beat fair and square. So LIVE WITH IT, DEAL WITH IT, and learn how to take a ing loss you poor sport!

    FU#6
    Spam bots that flood the game chat rooms with useless bullshit. Why can’t we ever escape spam!? NOOO I don’t want to win a million dollars, win a hot date, or claim my prize because you’re not going to actually give it to me dammit!

    FU#7
    Users who go around stealing other people’s kills and items. Stealing experience, stats, and items from other users online is a new low. Learn how to earn your own the real way, and while your at it learn how to play the game by yourself without having to leech off of others!

    FU#8
    Shit talkers and extremely y players in online games. First off, stop being y? Who gives a if you’ve been playing longer or know more. Secondly, its ok to talk smack, but some users just over do it. Just shut the up and let your playing do the talking for you! And if any of you get your kicked, don’t continue to talk to the other player! I mean they just kicked your , so it makes no sense to continue to talk crap to them. Also, don’t even think about calling a person who just killed you a noob! Think about it, they just killed you and your calling them a noob, you know what that means? It means your saying you just got OWNED by a noob, dumbass.

    FU#9
    Microphone abuse! Like when little kids are going around screaming and swearing; or when people can’t just keep quiet and play. And the ventrilo harassment on the vent talking system has got to stop. It was funny at first when users played sound bites on the ventrilo talk, but now its just old and retarded. Not everyone who plays online games is a nerd, and none of them deserved to be harassed by sound bites. So leave the players alone, let them play their game, and have fun!

    FU#10
    Its ok to play games, but its never ok for people to play games 16 hours straight! If you thought crack addicts were bad just take a look at some of the video game addicts. Come on people, wake up! Take a break and get off your computer before your eyes go blind, your brain goes numb, and before your social life goes plummeting down to the depths of .

    FU#11
    Stop E-Begging people for money and items in online games! In the time you spent spamming the out of people and begging like a for money, you could have actually played the game and earned money yourself! These beggars will never move up anywhere in the game and they shouldn’t be begging! So stop being lazy! Get off your and start earning your rewards in the game yourself!

    FU#12
    OK people STOP taking these online games so seriously! I mean you’ve all heard the phrase a million times, “its just a game”, and its called a GAME for a reason. The purpose of these games is to keep people entertained and to give users the fun and enjoyment of playing it. Video games and online games are NOT your lives. Its ok to play them, and not everyone who plays games is a nerd so don’t label them. But if your one who plays games all your life, go outside for once and see the rest of the world your missing!
