ALL HAIL THE FAIL WHALE... BITCH!

HAIL THE FAIL WHALE!


Posted by Simple - August 16th, 2009


Finished Mass Effect a few days ago, after it glitched on me so many times, not worth it in my opinion. Piece of crap.
Picked up a copy of Too Human for £5, looking forward to playing it, but been wrapped up in Guitar Hero: World Tour. Going to get Rock Band 2 soon aswell. Managing to struggle my way through the hard difficulty, while completing one or two songs on Expert; mainly Livein' on a Prayer. Failing a few songs here and there, but nothing major, mainly the guitar duels, as they are really hard.

I have finally given into the cravings I have been having for this game and I now have it, so I can see what HUGE event of my childhood I missed. So far I am not far at all, currently stumped on what to do but there are plenty of guides. However they are a last resort.

Enjoying what I am playing of it, but I want to start breeding Chocobos, mainly so I can shout at the screen "HAVE SEX DAMN IT!". This is going to be fun...

Final Fantasy 7

Well, he was the Sax Man from the state of Tennessee
First set in with the band at the ripe old age of three, weeks old
And when he blew into that horn all the people gathered 'round
Club manager jumped right up and said, "Boy, I gotta have that sound!"

Scream "Hallelujah Lord!", I said the Sax Man's got my soul
Everybody gotta move their feet when the Sax Man started to blow
Now blow it Sax Man!

Nnnn, 'kay, he's a little shy, but his genius cannot hide
Cause when the Sax Man starts to wail he gonna take you on a ride
Take it Sax Man!

Ow! Take it Sax Man!
He'll be right with you folks!

All right, Sax Man, that's my fault, I put you on the spot
But now you're all warmed up and this-a next one's gonna be hot
Kick it Sax Man!

Haha, okay! Why don't we have a little inspiration now.
You know this game, Sax Man!
Repeat after me, here we go, and!

Shibidi bop bop buda bop bop

Bip bip bipbip bip bip bipbip bip

Aridididi bop bududidadi

Fuckin' play something, Sax Man!

Okay, move it on!
Sax Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan,
Sax Man!

I can't be bothered finishing off the Internet Meme list, so I want to remove it from my front page so lets role with this.

As the sturdy iron beams crashed towards the ground, a large explosion of white light flashed before our hero's face. Shards of shrapnel flew towards his face, however the strength had already been sapped. Cuts began to form throughout his face, revealing a river of red blood and white bone.

As the blood began to pour down his face, another light flashed, but this time not as bright; this stunned our hero. Now staggering he fell backwards leaving his entire body exposed. As the molten iron began to rain down from the now black sky. Our hero tried to find his feet, but this was a feeble attempt. His shoes were torn and the black leather stitching had been melted by the explosion. A hard throbbing began to run through his mind, thump thump thump. he began to focus his mind and get a clear image of what had just happened. A blurred image of a bomb remained constant in his mind. The black coating peeling from the aluminium frame, revealed the stainless silver body. A red timer was counting down, on a black background, to an inevitable disaster.

This began to fade and our hero began to think of what he was going to do. he breathed heavily in the dust and smoke; this battered his nose and began to linger in his palette. He knew he had to move, before another light struck. He closed his eyes. Suddenly, his cuts began to regenerate. "What's this?" he thought to himself. Shocked by this our hero began to struggle to his feet, only to find his body completely deprived of any signs of damage. His broken hip and dislocated elbow had been completely healed. Shocked he jumped to his feet and began to run. The molten iron rained down on his naked back and began to burn through his skin, only to be immediately healed, by his strange 'new' gift.

TBC. (If you want me to.)

From 2007 to 2008 the clip was featured regularly on the CNN newsmagazine Anderson Cooper 360 to introduce its "Dramatic Animal Video" segment.
