	Are you ready to cry? Watch this video!
	by Chad Concelmo on 04.15.2008 60 comments

I have had an emotional last few days.

First, I watched Turner & Hooch on Sunday for the umpteenth time. I don't care what people say; that is the saddest movie that has ever been created. He takes a bullet for him! A BULLET! And those puppies at the end? Gah ...

Then I started Lost Odyssey last night and got to the "Hannah's Departure" dream in the first section of the game. Yup, the water works were a-flowin' after watching that as well.

And now Aerox sends me this:

It is definitely a happy story, but goddammit if it isn't unbelievably depressing.

I am a wreck right now. Man, I think I need to go lie down. Anyone have a tissue?

If this does not make you happy, nothing will.

Just wait till you get the end of the first disc of Lost Odyssey, that made Hannah's Departure look like a day at disneyland.

@power-glove & Scary Womanizing Pig Mask,
Those both help, but ... SHE LOST HER TAIL IN A CRAB TRAP LINE! :(

Man, that Hannah's Departure one got to me. So did that one with the soldier. Thankfully, Jansan was there to cheer me up with his drunken debauchery.

It's OK to cry Chad. Everyone cries once in a while.

*gives Chad a hug and a shoulder to cry on*

What about Beedogs? Would beedogs do the trick?

Pangloss says:
(# 10) on 04/15/2008 19:40

When in doubt, BEEDOG.

I think I might have something to cheer you up Chad. How about the opportunity to ADOPT A FREAKIN DOLPHIN?

Boolean says:
(# 13) on 04/15/2008 19:45

@Pangloss: lmao, what the hell? =D

Vlambo says:

The Dolphin in Coons pick is now known as Thunder.

Thunder the Dolphin is a Baddass, he takes no shit from no humans.

If his fin got stuck in a Fishing net, Thunder would jump up onto the boat and kill the fishers.

He's that badass.

Pangloss says:
(# 15) on 04/15/2008 19:46

What, Boolean? Are you implying that there too much beedog, ever?

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask says:
(# 16) on 04/15/2008 19:49

@chad
But this little guy still has his tail!

Look at how cute he is! He has a full tailfilled life ahead of him!

brosef says:
(# 17) on 04/15/2008 19:50

wardrox says:

Do you, or do you not, have your own trained army of dolphins with lazer sights? That's gotta cheer anyone up!

Also, at PAX I'll totally make dolphin noises if it'll help cheer you up!

Chad,

When life has you down, just remember.

...you so pringles. Ok?

JohnTheCrow says:
(# 27) on 04/15/2008 20:53

Chad, it might cheer you up to know that I made myself look like a complete ass at work today because I couldn't stop laughing hysterically at you laughing hysterically on the latest RFGO! It was good times.

Elitechief27 says:
(# 28) on 04/15/2008 20:56

I'm sorrry Chad. We understand that you didn't push that little kid off the tree. You both had bags on your heads and it was an accident. Also, try to feel better about the other stuff too. If it makes you feel any better, I like to think about the good things in life, or watch the movie "Heavyweights", when I need to feel better. If that doesn't work, just play some more "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" or watch the "Puppy Bowl".

/end Emo Chad now plz?
