From what I'm able to piece together, the kid used to be on the video-maker's Airsoft team, he quit, and burned his team patch and posted the video to youtube. So in response the guy shot what looks like about 30 BBs into his unprotected spine.

The idiot that got shot filmed himself burning some airsoft badge that belonged to the shooter, so said shooter decided to lay him out by emptying a mag into him.

Basically, stupid airsoft tacticool bullshit drama.

The only reality shows I've ever been able to watch (apart from Whale Wars which is the greatest schadenfreude adventure in the history of the world) are airport shows where entitled jackasses turn up half an hour late for their flight and lose their poo poo that the aeroplane didn't wait for them.


I mean, I feel absolutely terrible for the poor people working the check in desks for having to put up with these adult-infants, but it's hilarious to watch as they try to justify themselves to the camera.

Man, they pulled the video off of YouTube where the Hawaiian furry tried to get into Canada to meet up with his fur fucker friends.

They had his laptop out and were going through his drawrings and poo poo.

They were being very pragmatic about it. "How are you going to support yourself during an extended stay?"

Oh jesus christ.
I worked on one of these some time back, it was chaos.
Most the organisers were either far too inexperienced or too high to control everything properly or even prepared for the inevitable damage to the slide itself and it's impact on sliders.

Radioing up an emergency lane stoppage was usually a very slow in being enacted, resulting in extra care going to try warn people zooming past of possible danger before we could jump in and fix a separation.

At one point some kid ended up UNDER the floor.

Most of my duty was at the base warning people to get out of the way of others coming in faster than they did, naturally dozens and dozens of kids went over like bowling pins, there was lots of crying.

Sometime on the second day some teens emptied a bottle of bubble bath on the way down, turning the slide into a lathered up speed test range where people shot down towards a pool with 3 feet of eye stinging foam at mach 3 while small children couldn't stand or walk on the slippery plastic.

I am certain there were a few broken bones.

The Coup de grâce was someone blowing out a whole side panel in a vicious rebound about halfway up, leaving us pinning it to the ground on our knees with water spraying all over us just enough to keep the air pressure up. I asked how long we were supposed to be doing this for, expecting them to close the lane, someone said to me "An hour" and I simply told them "Get hosed!!". They closed the ride an hour early due to damages and an unwillingness from the crew to act as human clamps in running water and flailing limbs.

Mostly it was the drunken white trash parents doing the most damage, a 140kg bricklayer on an inner-tube could get up to 50kph with ease, bowl over 15 kids and still bounce off the back wall, laughing all the way.

It was a loving nightmare.

My favourites are always the ones saying "This is going to cost me millions I'm an incredibly important businessman" and you can see the staff biting their tongues to not just scream "WHY DID YOU BOOK THE CHEAPESY SHITTEST AIRLINE IN THE RORLD THEN?". Also when they drop the owner's name (because he was in all their adverts and was a minor celebrity) trying to hint they're big buddies and will dfinitely get someone fired for not calling back a plane that took off tenminutes ago.

Can't find it again but I watched one where a woman had missed her flight, she was complaining to the desk about it, then she lets slip she waits for the last minute warning before sprinting go the gate. The workers were struggling not to call her a loving moron.

The really lovely part is that those kids paid like $1000 for those guns, and then they just crank them up to the highest rate of fire possible (and probably the highest FPS they can get away with without getting kicked out) so they don't need to use any skill. They basically minigun everything in sight with 100 BBs.

The local indoor arena had a group like that, where all they would do is sprint everywhere firing a few dozen BBs at everything that moved. They also loved to try and use safety kills (you say "Bang" or something like that when someone is 10 feet away or closer as a courtesy so you don't need to shoot them really close, and if you safety kill more than 2 people you need to call yourself out so you can't just scream at a whole squad and kill them) by sprinting at an entire group from 50 to 100 feet and screaming "BANGBANGBANGBANG" at them, and then whine when people didn't call it because it was too far to count.

They finally got a permaban for almost the entire team for their rampant cheating, which escalated when their leader got into a screaming match with the owner (who himself is a complete lunatic) that ended in a physical fight until the police on site arrested him.

I don't know much about the game but it seems they were boasting an infinite procedurally-generated galaxy with planets where you could find aliens, artifacts and other players.

Turns out it's not multiplayer at all and is really a boring wandering-and-mining simulator.

The best schadenfreude I've gotten from NMS is all the people that were super pumped for this game but never bothered to check the minimum specs and flipped their poo poo when the game wouldn't run on their crappy integrated intel graphics. I think one of the latest dev updates included "Also we'll be updating the game to try and run on the intel graphics cards (even though it was never supposed to run on those)".

Full disclosure, I'm enjoying the game but I didn't follow the development at all so I guess coming into it with no expectations makes a difference in enjoyment level. It's basically Minecraft in space, and the first version of Minecraft was pretty barebones/boring too so :shrug:

I think the Wired review nailed it on the head

quote:

No Man’s Sky has been marketed as a game where you can do anything—go anywhere, travel the stars, conquer worlds! But that doesn’t quite mesh with what it actually is. Minecraft truly is about effecting change, about raw power. The mark you leave on the world is deeply transformational, and it is all-encompassing. No Man’s Sky does not share that solipsism. In its universe, I am meaningless. My journey is trivial in the scope of it all.
