2006 Year in Review, Abridged

The following video was appropriated without shame from the blog of GameSpot managing producer Mr. Tim Tracy, of "Cooking with Tim" fame. Later this week, our Best and Worst of 2006 Awards will be going into considerable detail about all that's gone down during the past 12 months. But this video sort of says it all:

How does that old fortune cookie expression go? "May you live in interesting times"?

    could have picked a better song, the video was fine, but the music was HORABLE

    Watching this video made me realize that Greg sounds a lot like Otacon from the MGS series.

  • DouglasBuffone

    Greg, you gave me a seizure

  • Hallway_Giant

    And you think Memory Leak is tough...?

  • brucesnz

    Posted Dec 12, 2006 7:19 pm PT

    Who was the music by? Sounded kinda like some random speed metal at 20x the normal speed.

  • JaMeS4418

    Posted Dec 12, 2006 7:19 pm PT

    I never got that fortune cookie

  • AaronThomas

    Nice job Tim.

    You know thats the kind of thing that made sure that we all have to sit through warnings before Nintendo games now right?

  • Oilers99

    Posted Dec 12, 2006 9:55 pm PT

    I might have blinked, but if Dreamfall wasn't in that montage, I'm officially staging a protest. Better rewatch it without blinking.

    So Tim, did each still get held for 2 frames or 1?

  • Faroon

  • shasam712

    Posted Dec 13, 2006 12:57 am PT

    I am sure that about halfway through that I saw the word "Fudgehog". Perhaps it's my eyes playing tricks, or Viva Pinata may have in fact infected my brain.

    my head hurts!!

  • Shleco

    Posted Dec 13, 2006 2:35 am PT

    Don't think I didn't notice the subliminal messages in there. I'll sure as heck be opening a Dance Factory on the Mexican border in the next day or so.

    "Sounded kinda like some random speed metal at 20x the normal speed."

    Sounded like black metal to me

    Oh man, not another follower of that epilepsy-driven video... come on, I had so much faith in you, Greg!

    Posted Dec 13, 2006 10:14 am PT

    Could you guys please post the cool videos on YouTube as well? Gamespot Videos are RIDICULOUSLY AWFUL for people who don't have super-fast Internet connections. Even if you wait the 10 minutes necessary to load a 54-seconds video, the vi-de-o ke-ep-s pa-u-si-ng con-ti-nu-o-us-ly, y-o-u ca-n't he-ar a thi-ng, ma-ki-ng it ve-ry ha-rd to wa-tch.

    Man, that movie hurts my eyes!

  • Shame-usBlackley

    Posted Dec 13, 2006 10:36 am PT

    Man, I had an entry titled "May You Live in Interesting Times" all typed up and ready to go. I decided to use it while watching a re-run of Disclosure last week, and when Donald Sutherland uttered the phrase, I thought how perfectly apt it was as a descriptor of the gaming scene right now.

    Ah well, I'll have to think up a new title.
