Weekend Destructainment: You are curiously attractive for a fishman
by Hamza CTZ Aziz on 05.03.2008 55 comments

TheLeetWorld have done it once again with their amazing Machinima skills. In this latest skit, they paradoy GameStop and their horrible business practices. I love the voice actors they always use in these skits and the ending is sure to get you to laugh.

Welcome to Destructoid. Time to get Destructainmented. First video after the jump shows us how Mario Kart for the SNES would play like on the Force Dynamic. Then it's Random Robot Intermission with Robochi getting flamed. Next, a quick 8-bit version of Reading Rainbow.

Next up is the toned down GTA IV presented by Conan O'Brian. Then we get another montaged look at horrible cartoon shows, this time with Dark Stalkers. The Destructainment ends with Projectile Dysfunction syndrome.  

Super Mario Kart played on the Force Dynamics 301. So awesome. Spotted on GoNintendo

Random Robot Intermission: Robochi gets flamed.Spotted on MechaFetus

8-bit Reading Rainbow remix. Awesome. 

 
The toned down GTA IV. Spotted on Kotaku.
 
 
"You are curiously attractive for a fishman." The horrible Darkstalkers cartoon show. Spotted on Paul Soth's C-blog.
 
 
Don't let Projectile Dysfunction get you down. Thanks, Scarlett!

While the guys in my Eb are extremely nice, I loved that video. "How could I buy something before I arrived? Your speech is constructive on paradoxes!"

The darkstalkers cartoon... They actually outdid Street Fighter... Did anybody try to stop that before they put it on TV?

Ha very good destructainment, as with the MK video I could only go about half way through Darkstalkers before feeling like I was risking serious mental injury. Robochi's ending was messed up and I want a crack at that Force Dynamic set up.

@Sushi111 that was my favorite part too xD

Video 1: I am 100% certain that was Ron Burgundy wearing Spartan armor.

Video 2: I hope that guy was awful to begin with and that the awesome Kart chair did not lead to his suckage.

Video 3: My jaw literally dropped at the end. FAT HANDS!

Video 4: NO! Why did it change to Rick Astley? That was the greatest version of Reading Rainbow ever created.

Video 5: I need sheets!

Video 6: "Succubus." "I'll say she does!"

Video 7: I loled at the tiny "*Dramatization: Results not typical"

Video two: I SO want that chair. I SO want that chair.

Video three: I SO want that bedroom. I SO want that bedroom. With the posters especially.

Video four: Sigh, and that was going so well...

Video six: I could only watch under a minute of it before I stopped. Brrr.

Video seven: I get that a lot in Counterstrike. They should have put more health warnings like "may cause cancer, AIDS, spontanious combustion, etc".


I SO want that medication.

Why the hell won't YouTube videos load quickly for me anymore? I have my YouTube settings set to display in the standard quality, and my internet connection is fast and working properly, yet I can never get them to load properly, these days. It's like trying to watch them on GameVideos.

Especially liked the Gunstop one. Got to say though, the guys who work at my local Gamestop are pretty cool, always friendly, and don't hassle me.

Loved the GunStop video. Great writing, great voice work, nicely choreographed, and the ending cracked me up.

This sounds weird but does anyone have that particular rendition of Never Gonna Give You Up? I don't care what it is, I have a raging hardon for any homebrew NES music, no matter how stigmatic the source material is.

Oh, man...the GunStop machinima was hilarious! Also, Conan O’Brien is awesome, and that 8-bit Reading Rainbow thing was sweet. I loved that show back in the day. Oh yeah...the Force Dynamics dude fails at Super Mario Kart.
