News::Rad Show: Setting up for Christmas
It's almost Thanksgiving, so that means I have to get the Christmas Tree down from the attic. Normally I make Mrs. Lucha help, but she's busy so it's up to me to get this task done. Ever see someone stream getting a Christmas Tree out of an attic and then put it up? Well guess what, you get to see it here on Rad Show.

News::This 'Gamer Song' is just as good as you think
German YouTuber ForbiddenNickname clearly loves videogames. So much so that he has penned what I'm sure he feels is the greatest gamer anthem in the history of ever. Your mileage may vary.
In what is some sort of weird hybrid between Rammstien and Kidz Bop, FN opines on all the rhyming ways he is a gamer -- such as "I'm a rocker/I'm a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.":, and "I'm a wizard/I love Blizzard" -- all to a pseudo-techno crunch. I especially love the way his Nerf gun shoots fire in time to the beat. The visuals are decidedly low-tech, but there is a random guy in a pale mask and rain slicker, so that makes it more German, I guess.
In all honesty, I see what he's trying to do here: write an actual anthem to the culture he loves, but something about it just doesn't sit right. Honestly, there's no way to do this and not come off corny as all get out, even with the language barrier. "I'm a nerd/I'm a bird," indeed.
Also...does flamer mean something else overseas? The chorus of "I'm a gamer/I'm not a lamer/I am a flamer" sounds odd to me, especially finishing it as he does by stretching out the syllables in the last line to "I am a Gay-mer" (yes, it's spelled that way in the lyrics). I mean, I don't speak German, so if he has already come out on one of his other videos, good on him. Just seems odd randomly stuck into the chorus of a song about generalized gamer tropes.
Regardless, I think he might have a sense of humor about it, if the Batman line is any indicator...though he has mercifully turned off comments.
Oh Germany...you so wacky!

News::Review: Stick It to the Man!
If you know me, you know what a big comedy fan I am. Comedy is kind of my whole life, my passion, my raison d'etre, if you will. Videogames are obviously one of my other passions. So, when the two meet, I tend to be very hopeful, yet cautiously optimistic. Comedy in video games tends to be very hit or miss (as does comedy about games, but I self-aware-ingly digress) but when it works well, it's a rare thing of beauty.
Stick It to the Man! is a thing of beauty.

News::My fondest videogame memories involve breaking them
[Dtoid community blogger JoyfulSanity has rediscovered the joy of gaming... through breaking his games. Want to see your own blog appear on our front page? Go write something! --Mr Andy Dixon]
I've gotten hundreds of hours' worth of entertainment out of Borderlands 2, yet I've never laughed harder than when my motley crew of friends discovered an exploit that turned a quest NPC into a Garry's Mod style rag doll. And when I say "never laughed harder," I'm talking about those laughing fits that have you keeled over while you desperately gasp for air, with tears filling your eyes as your lungs start to hurt with every giggle that escapes your mouth.
Videogames have made me laugh and cry, but rarely do they send me into complete euphoria unless there's a glitch and a few friends involved. I know bugs are the bane of a developer's existence, and occasionally they can ruin everything for gamers as well. But for those lapses of judgment that lead to unintentionally amazing gameplay experiences, I can only extend to the creators my sincerest thanks.
